Fetcher
PaidAutomated AI sourcing service that delivers vetted, interested candidates to your inbox without manual boolean searches
What is Fetcher?
Fetcher is an AI-powered sourcing platform that takes a different approach from HireEZ, SeekOut, and Findem: instead of giving recruiters a search tool to hunt for candidates, Fetcher operates more like a sourcing-as-a-service model where the AI continuously finds vetted candidates matching your criteria and delivers them to your inbox for review. You define the role, ideal candidate profile, and outreach sequence, and Fetcher's AI automatically sources, screens, and messages passive candidates on your behalf. Interested candidates are routed to your ATS or recruiter dashboard. This hands-off approach is ideal for recruiting teams that want more sourcing output without adding headcount or building expertise in boolean queries. Fetcher includes diversity filters, outreach analytics, ATS integration, and team collaboration features. Pricing is published more transparently than most competitors — starting at $149 per user per month for the self-serve sourcing platform, with managed automated sourcing plans running $499-849 per month depending on search volume. Fetcher is popular with venture-backed startups and mid-market companies that want quality sourcing without the enterprise price tag of Eightfold or Beamery.

FAQ
How much does Fetcher cost?
Fetcher's self-serve sourcing platform starts at $149 per user per month. The managed automated sourcing plans run $499-849 per month depending on search volume and role complexity. Enterprise pricing is custom. Annual commitments earn discounts. Fetcher is more transparent about pricing than most AI sourcing competitors.
What is the difference between Fetcher self-serve and managed sourcing?
Self-serve ($149/user/month) gives you an AI-powered sourcing platform where your recruiters build queries, review candidates, and send outreach. Managed sourcing ($499-849/month) is more like sourcing-as-a-service — you define the role and Fetcher's AI continuously finds, screens, and engages candidates on your behalf, delivering vetted prospects to your inbox. Managed is ideal if you want sourcing output without adding recruiter time.
Does Fetcher have a free plan?
No. Fetcher is paid-only with no free tier. Interested teams can book a demo with Fetcher's sales team to see the platform and discuss pricing. For free sourcing alternatives, consider manual LinkedIn search, the free tier of Gem, or limited free trials from smaller sourcing tools.
Is Fetcher good for startups?
Yes — startups are one of Fetcher's core customer segments. The $149/user self-serve plan is affordable for small recruiting teams, and the managed sourcing option is popular with venture-backed startups that need to hire quickly without building out a full sourcing team. Fetcher integrates with Greenhouse, Lever, and other ATS platforms popular in the startup ecosystem.
What ATS platforms does Fetcher integrate with?
Fetcher integrates with Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, BambooHR, JazzHR, SmartRecruiters, and Ashby. Integration supports pushing candidates into the ATS, syncing candidate status, and logging outreach activities. This lets recruiting teams use Fetcher for sourcing and their existing ATS for interview workflow without manual data transfer.
How is Fetcher different from HireEZ?
HireEZ is primarily a hands-on sourcing tool with a large candidate database (800M+ profiles) where recruiters build queries and hunt for candidates. Fetcher emphasizes automation — either through AI query assistance in the self-serve tier or through fully managed sourcing where Fetcher delivers vetted candidates to your inbox. HireEZ gives you more control and a larger database; Fetcher gives you more hands-off automation.
Does Fetcher support diversity hiring?
Yes. Fetcher includes diversity filters that let recruiting teams build more diverse candidate slates, with filters for gender, ethnicity, veteran status, and other attributes. These features help DEI-focused hiring teams improve pipeline diversity while remaining compliant with fair-hiring practices.
