Strengths
- Deep agency CRM integrations

Weaknesses
- Not a talent database; relies on where you browse
- Per-user cost adds up for large agencies
- In-house teams find agency focus distracting
Where SourceWhale fits in the stack
Sourcing tools help recruiters find and reach candidates who have not applied: searchable talent databases, AI search that works from a job description, contact finders that surface verified emails and phone numbers, and AI agents that run the whole search-to-outreach loop.
Buy second, once the ATS is in place, and only if more than a quarter of your hires need to come from outbound. Inbound-heavy hourly hiring usually needs job distribution more than sourcing.
