Pro now includes 10 Roles, and commute-based location

2026/10/06

Pricing cards: first Role free, Pro with 10 Roles a month, and Unlimited

More for Pro

  • Pro now includes 10 Roles a month, up from 4.

Location as a commute check

  • A location must-have now checks whether the candidate can reasonably travel to the job's place, instead of matching place names.
  • Candidate locations come straight from their LinkedIn profile.

Better results, faster

  • Searches start faster, from pressing send to the first reply.
  • Every search applies a minimum score and the experience range you asked for.
  • If you do not say how many candidates you want, the agent picks a sensible number for the first round.

Around the app

  • People who open a shared shortlist report can sign up from it.
  • Result emails now read well on phones.
  • A new MCP page explains how to use Talent Summoner from your AI assistant.
  • Feature pages now include short promo videos.

Smoother sessions and a sharper shortlist report

The session page stays responsive while the agent works, the shortlist report is clearer, and candidate ranking is more reliable.

2026/09/30

Sourcing

  • The session page no longer freezes while the agent is writing.
  • A new session opens straight into its first exchange.
  • The shareable shortlist report is tighter and easier to read.
  • Candidate names are read more accurately.
  • Location matching is more accurate from search through to your filters.

Candidate ranking

  • The report shows the job title and a clear score band.
  • Past rankings show up again, and the report link opens in a new tab.
  • If a run fails or you reload the page, you see a clear state and a way forward.
  • Your upload is kept while you confirm your email, and your language stays the same throughout.

Use Talent Summoner from your AI assistant

Run searches from Claude and other AI assistants, use the app in Traditional Chinese, and get results even when your must-haves are too strict.

2026/09/25

The MCP page: use Talent Summoner in Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor

Talent Summoner in your AI assistant

  • Start a search, read results, review candidates and request contacts from Claude and other AI assistants that support MCP.
  • A guided setup walks you through connecting your assistant to your account.
  • A search started from your assistant shows up as a normal conversation in the app.

Traditional Chinese

  • The app, blog and landing pages are now available in Traditional Chinese (繁體中文).
  • Wider people search: we search more broadly, then screen the results before evaluating them, and also look beyond LinkedIn on the open web.
  • No dead ends: when no one matches all your must-haves, the agent offers to relax them in one click.
  • The Fit Score now explains how it was worked out.
  • Company and group pages are filtered out of results more reliably.
  • If your ideal candidate profile is ready but you have not continued, we send a short reminder email.

LinkedIn outreach and work email lookup

Reach candidates on LinkedIn as well as email, find work emails in the background, and rank candidates from the app home.

2026/09/16

Outreach on LinkedIn

  • Connect your LinkedIn account and send messages to candidates from the same outreach flow as email.
  • The app warns you before you go over LinkedIn's daily limits.
  • Draft a message for a single candidate, and manage your outreach defaults on a new settings page.

Contact details

  • Work email lookup: request a candidate's work email and keep working while we look it up.

Around the app

  • Candidate ranking now lives in the app home, next to sourcing.
  • All your past sessions are reachable from the sidebar, page by page.
  • Checkout opens inside the app, so you come straight back to your search after paying.
  • Sharing a shortlist and managing it are now clearly separate actions.
  • The account menu works properly on phones.

Unlimited plan and result emails

A new Unlimited plan for teams with many open roles, an email when your search finishes, and deal-breakers you can set in chat.

2026/08/28

Email listing new candidates with an AI summary, recent experience and a review button for each

Unlimited plan

  • Unlimited: one flat monthly price for every open role, with fair use.
  • Switch between Pro and Unlimited any time from the billing page.

Know when results are ready

  • When a search finishes you get an email with the top candidates and a short summary.
  • Before you pay for a Role, extra results show as a blurred preview so you can see what is waiting.
  • The upgrade offer now appears as a card in the chat instead of a banner pinned over your results.

Better control in chat

  • Deal-breakers: tell the agent what rules a candidate out and it applies that to every result.
  • Suggested next steps: the chat offers one-click actions after each round.
  • Collapse the chat to give the candidate list more room, or hand off to a new role in one step.
  • Press Cmd/Ctrl+Enter to send your role brief.

Your first Role is free

Start sourcing without paying, sign up in one step, and get help from inside the app.

2026/08/25

Simpler pricing

  • First Role free: every new account can source a full Role before paying anything.
  • Role Bundles: buy several Roles at once if you hire in batches.
  • Promo codes: enter a discount code straight in checkout.

Faster sign-up

  • You are signed in as soon as you create an account. Email verification now only happens when you buy.
  • Personal Microsoft accounts (Outlook, Hotmail) can now sign up.

Help and polish

  • Live support chat: message our team without leaving Talent Summoner.
  • A small notice tells you when a new version of the app is ready to load.
  • The sourcing page now fits smaller laptop screens: settings stay reachable and the chat no longer gets squeezed.

AI Email Outreach is live

The sourcing agent now drafts and sends personalised candidate emails — with your approval on every send.

2026/07/31

Reviewing personalised outreach emails before sending from a connected inbox

AI Email Outreach

The "coming soon" badge is gone — outreach now runs end to end inside the sourcing chat:

  • Personalised drafts: the agent writes an individual email for each shortlisted candidate, grounded in their actual profile and your role brief.
  • You approve every send: nothing goes out without an explicit confirmation step, and the confirmation flow has been hardened so an accidental click can't trigger a send.
  • Official sending address: emails go out from a proper company address, not a generic relay.

Smoother sign-up

  • Start a search before creating an account and your role brief now survives sign-up — the conversation resumes exactly where you left off.

Smarter candidate discovery

A new discovery engine finds more matching profiles per sweep, and the agent now proposes candidate filters you can edit before evaluation.

2026/07/21

A search sweep scanning thousands of profiles into a ranked shortlist
  • New discovery engine: profile discovery was rebuilt on a faster search backbone, surfacing meaningfully more matching profiles in each sweep.
  • Per-round discovery ceiling: each search round now targets a consistent number of fresh profiles, so quality stays steady as a search runs longer.

Filters you can steer

  • Agent-proposed filters: right after your evaluation criteria are set, the agent pre-fills the candidate sidebar filters (minimum score, sources) — and you can edit them before anything is evaluated.
  • City-level locations: location filter options are collapsed to the city level, so narrowing a shortlist no longer means wading through duplicate districts.

Guided first run and monthly plan

Your first search now starts with a small, strong shortlist plus a feedback round — and teams that hire continuously get a monthly plan.

2026/07/08

A compact first shortlist with a strength and a concern noted per candidate
  • Small strong set first: instead of flooding you with profiles, the agent now opens with a compact, high-confidence shortlist and asks for your feedback before widening the search.
  • Feedback that sticks: your yes/no calls and preference edits from that first round directly reshape the next sweep's search and weighting.
  • Quick intake survey: a short survey while your first search runs teaches the agent about your company and taste, so later rounds start smarter.

Pricing

  • Monthly plan: alongside pay-as-you-go role packs, there's now a monthly subscription for teams that hire continuously — see pricing for details.
