Manatal review: Cloud-based recruitment software with pipelines, CRM and AI tools for agencies

What Manatal does

Manatal is a cloud-based recruitment platform that brings candidate tracking, a recruitment CRM and several AI tools into one account. The vendor describes the CRM as built for agencies and headhunters who need to follow clients, placements and revenue. Recruiters can shape their own pipeline with a drag-and-drop interface and a kanban view.

For sourcing, Manatal can share job openings on 2,500+ channels, and a Chrome extension fetches candidate data from 10+ platforms such as LinkedIn, Indeed and GitHub. Profiles can be enriched from 20+ social and public platforms. The AI Interviewer runs automated screening against your requirements and is sold as an add-on. A career page can be hosted on your own domain, a reporting and analytics suite tracks metrics, and the account can be connected to AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot Studio.

Pricing is per user in USD. The Professional Plan costs $19 per user per month billed monthly, or $15 per user per month billed annually, and includes up to 15 jobs per account and up to 10,000 candidates. The Enterprise Plan costs $39 per user per month billed monthly, or $35 billed annually, with unlimited jobs and candidates and workflow automation. The Enterprise Plus Plan costs $59 per user per month billed monthly, or $55 billed annually, and includes the Advanced Report Builder, Manatal Open API, Single Sign On and Priority Support. A Custom Plan is priced on demand. No free plan is stated, but a 14-day free trial with no card required is offered.

Our take

Based on the vendor's official pages, Manatal suits recruiting teams and agencies that want candidate tracking, job distribution, a client CRM and AI screening in one place. The Professional Plan caps jobs at 15 per account and candidates at 10,000, so busier teams would need the Enterprise Plan for unlimited jobs and candidates. Teams that need Single Sign On, the Open API or Priority Support must look at Enterprise Plus. Pricing is per user, so cost grows with each recruiter added. The AI Interviewer is a separate add-on, and no free plan is stated, only a 14-day trial in which some features, such as mass emailing and email automations, are unavailable. Prices are published, which makes budgeting straightforward, but the add-on price is not listed in the facts we have.
