    How to decide

    Four questions matter more than a feature count.

    The central choice is whether your team needs another place to work, or wants the sourcing work itself removed.

    Who does the sourcing work?

    A polished search interface can still leave research, review and follow-through with your team.

    Where does the candidate evidence come from?

    Compare the underlying reach and evidence, not just the language used to query it.

    How deeply does it calibrate?

    Changing one dimension should update the whole definition of good, not swap one keyword.

    What remains human-reviewed?

    Candidate judgement and candidate-facing outreach should stay with your team.
