Talent SummonerEvaluation, not just retrieval
Every candidate arrives already checked against your must-haves, with the reasoning written out so you can disagree with it.
Talent Summoner vs Juicebox
A shortlist you can act on, not a search box you have to work.
Juicebox puts a natural-language search bar over a large profile index — its PeopleGPT search covers 800M+ profiles across 30+ sources, with self-serve seats published from $99 per seat per month. It is a good tool if you have someone to run it. Talent Summoner does the running: you brief the role, the agent searches and evaluates, and you get a ranked shortlist with the reasoning behind each match.

Why teams switch
Why teams choose Talent Summoner
Built for people who aren't recruiters
Brief the role the way you'd brief a colleague. There is no prompt craft or filter tree to learn, and the agent asks when something is unclear.
You steer each round
Say what was wrong with the last shortlist and the next round changes. The search adapts instead of you rewriting the query.
FAQ
Common questions
Is Talent Summoner just another search tool?
No. A search tool returns profiles. Talent Summoner returns a ranked shortlist with reasons, then drafts outreach to the people you approve.
Does Talent Summoner connect to my ATS?
Not today. Shortlists are shareable lists you can send to your team or copy into your own system. If an ATS sits at the centre of your process, that is a real gap on our side.
When is Juicebox the better choice?
If you have a recruiter who wants to drive the search themselves, needs results written straight into an ATS or CRM, or runs large multi-step outreach sequences across a team, Juicebox is built for that. Talent Summoner is built for hiring managers who want the search done for them.
Can I try Talent Summoner for free?
Yes — starting is free. You describe the role and see how the search works before paying for a role.
