Avery vs Sprad

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.

Sprad is a web-based AI workspace for hiring and talent management, with tools for recruiting and employee development. Its shared Talent Base uses profiles that people can keep current; Sprad says its modules read and enrich those profiles. Atlas searches profiles, drafts outreach, screens applicants, conducts voice interviews and ranks candidates against role criteria. The Growth platform covers performance reviews, 360° feedback, 1:1 meetings, career paths, skills, surveys and OKR tracking. AI prepares and suggests work, while people make decisions; Sprad says it does not automate rejections. Ratings link to supporting evidence, and people can release profile data item by item or withdraw access. Its free core includes unlimited roles, pipeline, pool and search, while web-wide sourcing requires membership and AI actions use credits. Listed prices include €0.10 per screening, €6 per interview and active sourcing from €300/mo. Sprad lists recruiting teams, agencies and companies using referrals or employee-growth tools among its audiences.
