Sanaf AI Solutions vs SeekOut
SeekOut is the better buy if you need to find candidates who have not applied: it holds a very large profile database, screens inbound applicants, engages passive candidates and rediscovers people already in your ATS. Sanaf is the better buy if you have applicants and the problem is what happens next, because it coordinates hiring from Slack or Microsoft Teams.

SeekOut is a sourcing platform first. Its advantage is data: a profile database far beyond anything a generalist carries, plus agents that screen and qualify and a stated human-in-the-loop principle where the AI screens and the team decides who moves forward. It sells to enterprise talent acquisition teams.
Sanaf carries no candidate database at all. That is the honest limitation and it decides most of this comparison: if the job is finding people, we are not the answer. If the job is running a process for people who already applied, a coordinator that lives in your chat tool is a much lighter thing to buy.
How the two models differ
| Dimension | Sanaf | SeekOut |
|---|---|---|
| Candidate data | Sanaf: None of our own: it works with the applicants and systems you connect. | SeekOut: A very large profile database, plus rediscovery of past applicants in your ATS. |
| The job it does | Sanaf: Coordination: descriptions, screening against your criteria, interviews, candidate communication. | SeekOut: Sourcing and engaging passive candidates, plus screening inbound ones. |
| Who it is sold to | Sanaf: Any company, self-serve. | SeekOut: Enterprise talent acquisition teams. |
| Where it works | Sanaf: Slack, Microsoft Teams, and its own chat in the console. | SeekOut: Its own platform, with ATS integration. |
| Who decides | Sanaf: Screening reasoning is visible; a person makes every hiring call. | SeekOut: Agents screen and qualify, with the team deciding who moves forward. |
| Pricing | Sanaf: Free to start with $120 of credit and no card, then credits from $20 as you need them. They never expire, and you pay for the work, not per seat. | SeekOut: No published pricing: the route is a demo or a trial and then a quote. |
