A Recruitee alternative for teams that pay per candidate, not per seat
Recruitee is a collaborative ATS billed per seat. MiniSourcer focuses on sourcing and scoring candidates and charges only for the ones you get.
Recruitee is a collaborative recruitment suite — an ATS your whole hiring team lives in, billed per seat per month. If you searched for a Recruitee alternative, the likely reason is that you do not want to pay for a full ATS, per seat, just to find candidates. MiniSourcer narrows the scope to sourcing and scoring, and bills per candidate found.

Where MiniSourcer differs
- You pay per candidate found, not per hiring-team seat — invite the whole team without every seat adding cost.
- Each profile is scored against your brief, so weak matches are filtered before they reach your shortlist.
- No careers-page or full-ATS machinery to configure first: describe the role and get a scored shortlist.
- First month free with 20 credits and no card, which a per-seat ATS trial usually is not.
- Outreach stays yours: MiniSourcer prepares a message, you send it from your own account.

Questions people ask
Is MiniSourcer an ATS like Recruitee?
No — MiniSourcer is a sourcing tool with a lightweight recruiting CRM (shortlists, pipeline statuses, notes). It does not publish careers pages or run a full ATS interview workflow, though it does help you book an interview straight into your calendar. If you need a full ATS, Recruitee is the closer fit; if you need to find and score candidates and pay by results, MiniSourcer is.
