What Crelate sells
“Your Recruiting, brought to life by AI.” Crelate sells one recruiting platform that combines sourcing, a recruiting CRM and applicant tracking to executive search firms, staffing and consulting firms and in-house teams. Its AI comes as two named agents, Discover (outside talent sourcing by chat) and Insights (data refresh and suggested next moves), plus a Co-Pilot and an MCP server that lets Claude, ChatGPT and custom agents work with Crelate data. It does not run AI interviews. [1][2][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Its AI. Discover Agent searches “over a billion candidate profiles” outside the firm’s database through conversation, and Insights Agent refreshes records and proactively suggests “Ideas”; both feed an Agents Dashboard. Co-Pilot suggests next steps and search terms, and the MCP server lets AI assistants query Crelate records with each action logged. [2]
The AI capabilities it sells today, as the map reads its site: named agents, assistant, screening and ranking, MCP and agent APIs and AI sourcing [2].
