Avery vs Blosto

Avery is a European hiring intelligence platform for finding, evaluating and contacting candidates for recruitment roles. Its maker says it searches more than 125 million vetted European professional profiles. Candidate rankings explain which role requirements match and which remain unproven, leaving selection decisions to recruiters. Market views provide salary benchmarks by role and region, talent pool estimates, hiring viability, competitor information and time-to-fill estimates. Avery drafts personalized outreach from candidate profiles and can send email through a connected Google, Outlook or IMAP account. LinkedIn messages are drafted for recruiters to send manually, while email sequences can be automated through the recruiter's own inbox. Its Screening Agent structures candidate replies into details such as compensation expectations, availability and interest. Talent Hub refreshes candidate records, builds pipelines and resurfaces past candidates for new roles. Candidate profiles are stored and enriched in the EU, and model calls run on European infrastructure, though AI processing may involve transfers outside the EEA. Free includes search and market views; Solo costs €299 a month.

Blosto is a web recruiting tool for searching and evaluating candidates before they enter a customer's ATS, which remains the system of record. Users can describe a role in plain language, paste a job description, or use Boolean strings and exact filters. The homepage says the service searches more than 850 million profiles. Candidate scores explain matches against must-haves, preferences, and exclusions with evidence for each criterion. Before committing to a search, recruiters can see how many candidates match combined requirements in a location. Blosto prepares targeted email and LinkedIn sequences for shortlisted candidates, and scheduled follow-ups stop when a candidate replies. Candidates are not contacted without user approval. The product is aimed at in-house recruiters, hiring teams, founders, and agencies, particularly those hiring for technical, specialized, or senior roles. The free start does not require a credit card. Starter costs $125 a month billed annually and includes one seat and 250 shortlist credits per month. Team costs $185 a month billed annually per seat, with up to 10 seats. Scale pricing is custom and includes ATS integration.
