What Is Hiretual Recruiting Platform?

Hiretual (also known as hireEZ or EZ Agent) is just one of a growing number of AI recruiting platforms designed to help companies find and engage with candidates faster and more accurately. But how does the tool work, and is it the best on the market for busy recruitment teams?

In this article, we’ll compare Hiretual with our own AI recruitment platform, Kalent to help you find the best AI solution for your specific needs and use case.

So whether you’re an HR professional, agency leader or recruiter, keep reading to see how Hiretual and Kalent stack up – as well as the one key difference (it’s a big one) that sets them apart.

How Does Hiretual Help Recruiters?

As we’ve already mentioned, Hiretual is an AI-powered candidate sourcing and CRM tool. Using AI-driven search, Hiretual can source talent from over 45 different web platforms, analyzing full profiles and ranking candidates by role fit and experience.

Hiretual’s AI recruitment agent can also send outreach messages and follow up with candidates, allowing users to keep conversations going, detail next steps or schedule interviews, even when they’re working on other things.

Hiretual provides a large candidate database and strong integrations with ATS calendars and existing CRM systems. It advertises itself as an agentic, all-in-one platform that automates the entire hiring workflow, from candidate sourcing to scheduling interviews, needing next-to-no human input or oversight.

Supposedly, the tool ‘thinks and acts’ just like an HR team, and provides candidate sourcing without platform fees or seat licenses, which is a huge bonus for teams who are used to scaling platform fees and hidden costs.

Hiretual can also provide pipeline health data through analytics and outcome measurements, allowing teams to predict time to full, deal with bottlenecks and accelerate the hiring process while improving their practices over time.

Hiretual/EZ Key Features:

• Agentic, fully automated workflow
• AI-powered analytics – track ROI and performance
• Strategic AI decision-making
• Custom dashboards and reports
• Intelligent candidate sourcing and applicant matches
• 61% reduction in LinkedIn recruiter spend
• 3 x candidate response rates

What is Kalent and How Does It Work?

Like Hiretual, Kalent is an AI-powered talent sourcing tool for recruiters, designed to streamline processes for HR teams and professionals.

With Kalent, you can simply drag and drop a brief job description into the system and the tool will populate a tailored list of qualified candidates. Kalent can quickly identify the best, most relevant prospects for your job postings, scanning over 100 million profiles to analyze their behavior and intent signals.

Thanks to enhanced data enrichment, Kalent also provides highly accurate personal email addresses and phone numbers, allowing you to reach out to candidates directly with one click. You can also automate initial outreach, adding personalized elements such as names and other details.

The platform also supports multi-channel campaigns across LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp and SMS, favoring a cross-platform approach.

Kalent Key Features:

• 5 x higher response rates (30-60%)
• 3 x more qualified interviews from any job offer
• AI co-pilot, human-in-the-loop approach
• Advanced natural language processing
• 100 million global profiles
• 10+ AI filters, and the ability to ‘like’ or discard profiles
• Add your top profiles to your talent pool
• Kalent drafts the pitch, you hit send – full human oversight
• Personalized messages for LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp and SMS
• Sync calendars and get qualified interviews
• Seamless integrations with outreach, calendar and ATS tools
• Fully GDPR compliant

Kalent’s key differentiator is that it’s positioned as an “AI co-pilot” rather than an “AI agent.” The main difference here is that the co-pilot approach emphasizes human involvement and understands the importance of industry expertise, nuance and experience.

Instead of automating the entire workflow, Kalent functions as an assistant, taking care of the most time-consuming, manual tasks like candidate sourcing and initial outreach.

By contrast, Hiretual provides a fully automated pipeline, covering everything from initial outreach to booking interviews.

Which approach is best will depend on your needs and priorities. Let’s explore this in a little more detail.

AI Co-pilot (Kalent) vs AI Agent (Hiretual)

Hiretual provides a fully automated AI agent that completes tasks end to end, making autonomous decisions and executing actions without human input.

AI agents are driven by specific objectives and goals, and although these are set by you, you’ll still have limited control over the process – the point of full automation is that it works in the background without needing your input.

This approach is great for meeting high-volume recruitment needs, especially for junior roles. However, anyone who has used one of these completely agentic tools will tell you that too much automation can actually be a bad thing – it can take the human relationships element out of recruitment, limit personalization and damage trust in your brand or agency.

Dependence on AI can introduce mismatches and mistakes, no matter how sophisticated the tool. These kinds of errors will not only impact recruiter-candidate relationships but also negatively impact the client. At Kalent, we know that the important decisions are made by humans, factoring in nuance, care and professional expertise.

Because of the limitations of completely agentic AI, tools like Hiretual GPT aren’t generally recommended for senior talent acquisition or executive search, or for large or scaling teams that prioritize relationship-driven placements.

With Kalent’s co-pilot approach, you retain full control over hiring processes, decisions and candidate interactions. This is a balanced method, combining human oversight with AI-driven efficiency, automating manual and time-consuming tasks within clear parameters.

The choice between these two approaches – Hiretual’s AI agent and Kalent’s AI co-pilot – depend on your company’s level of comfort with AI decision making, as well as the complexity and nature of your hiring processes.

If quantity is better than quality, and you just want to get candidates through the door, Hiretual is a great fix.

If you’re looking for more human input, real-time adjustments and a high level of personalization, Kalent is the better tool for you.
