Blosto vs Talsense

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.

Listed ATS and HRIS connections include Greenhouse, Workday, Lever, BambooHR, iCIMS, Bullhorn, SAP, Oracle, Ashby, Teamtailor, JazzHR, Manatal, Checkr, Deel, and Ceipal; it also offers an open API for enterprise workflows.
