Avery vs Metaview

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.

Metaview is an agentic recruiting platform with AI agents for sourcing, outreach, application review, screening, interview notes, and reporting. Its sourcing agent creates a candidate shortlist and handles outreach in a team’s tone. Agents can begin after an intake call and use reviews, interviews, and hiring decisions to inform later searches. Listed integrations include recruiting systems such as Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, and Workday, plus video tools including Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. Its desktop app for Mac and Windows records conversations without a bot joining the call. Candidates can opt out of recording, audio or video capture can be disabled, and customers can delete recordings or set retention policies. Metaview says recordings and transcripts are hosted in its AWS UK environment, with a default two-year retention period that can be changed. The Free plan covers the first 100 profiles sourced; Pro costs $100 a month per user.
