Juggling spreadsheets, inbox threads, and five different job board logins just to fill one role is exactly the kind of chaos modern recruiting doesn't need — so I went straight to Manatal.com to see whether its "AI Recruitment Software" pitch actually holds up for HR teams, agencies, and headhunters. Here's my honest, first-hand breakdown after exploring the live site, its features, and its pricing.
Manatal is an AI recruitment software built to help HR teams, recruitment agencies, and headhunters source and hire candidates faster. The platform is trusted by over 10,000 recruiting teams across 135+ countries and states it has managed more than 900,000 recruitment processes to date. It combines an applicant tracking system, recruitment CRM, and AI-driven sourcing and screening tools into one easy-to-use platform.
Manatal's newest feature lets you launch an AI recruiting agent to interview one or thousands of candidates simultaneously, with 24/7 availability for standardized, automated screening and instant, AI-powered candidate assessments delivered directly in the platform.
A customizable, drag-and-drop pipeline and Kanban board give recruiters a single-board overview of every stage of the hiring process, without a steep learning curve.
Share job openings across 2,500+ free and premium job boards — including Indeed, LinkedIn, Monster, ZipRecruiter, SEEK, JobsDB, Jobstreet, Naukri, and CV-Library — and manage every sponsored campaign from a single dashboard.
Connect Manatal to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Microsoft Copilot Studio to ask specific questions about your talent pool (like "Is John Doe a good fit for our Software Engineer role?") and get instant answers, plus AI-assisted email writing based on live recruitment data.
The Manatal AI Engine scores candidate profiles against job requirements to recommend the best matches, and automatically enriches profiles using data pulled from LinkedIn and 20+ other social and public platforms.
Build or link a custom career page with zero development work (compatible with WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, and more), and track every new hire's onboarding milestones from offer letter through to placement.
Manatal offers transparent, per-user monthly pricing with both yearly and monthly billing options. The Professional Plan is listed at $15 per user per month (for individuals and small teams, up to 15 jobs and 10,000 candidates with unlimited hiring managers), the Enterprise Plan at $35 per user per month (unlimited jobs, candidates, and hiring managers plus workflow automation), and the Enterprise Plus Plan at $55 per user per month (adds an advanced report builder, ChatGPT/Claude/LLM integration, the Manatal Open API, and single sign-on). A Custom Plan with on-demand pricing is also available for organizations needing custom integrations and compliance. All plans come with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required. Note that additional GST fees apply to Singaporean tax residents. Since pricing can change, check Manatal's live pricing page for current numbers before subscribing.
