Blosto
Kaufbeuren, Germany
What it is
Blosto is a web recruiting tool for finding, evaluating, and preparing outreach to candidates before they enter a customer’s ATS, which remains the system of record. Users can describe a role in plain language, paste a job description, or use Boolean strings and exact filters. Blosto says it searches more than 850 million profiles. Candidate scores show evidence for matches against must-haves, preferences, and exclusions. Market analysis can show how many candidates meet combined requirements in a location before a search is committed. For shortlisted candidates, Blosto prepares targeted email and LinkedIn sequences, with scheduled follow-ups stopping when someone replies. Candidates are not contacted without user approval. The service includes a free start without a credit card. Starter costs $125 a month billed annually for one seat and 250 shortlist credits monthly. Team costs $185 a month billed annually per seat, with pooled credits and up to 10 seats. Scale pricing is custom.
