A HireEZ alternative that charges per candidate, not per seat
HireEZ is an AI sourcing platform billed per seat. MiniSourcer finds and scores the same kind of candidates but charges only for the ones you actually get.
HireEZ is a well-known AI sourcing platform. If you searched for a HireEZ alternative, you are almost certainly weighing one thing: a per-seat subscription that costs the same whether or not you find anyone, versus paying for the candidates you actually get. That is the whole difference here.
| MiniSourcer | HireEZ | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Pay per candidate found | Per-seat subscription |
| Entry price | From ~$0.085 per candidate | Per seat, per month (sales-led) |
| Best for | Small teams and solo recruiters who want to pay for results, not seats. | Larger recruiting teams or agencies running high sourcing volume across many seats. |
Where MiniSourcer differs
- You pay per candidate found, not per recruiter seat — add teammates without raising the bill for unused seats.
- Each profile is AI-scored against your brief, so weak matches are filtered before they reach your shortlist.
- The first month is free with 20 credits and no card, so you can judge the results before paying anything.
- It is a sourcing tool and a lightweight recruiting CRM in one: shortlist, pipeline, notes and statuses in the same place.
- You keep control of outreach — MiniSourcer drafts a message, you send every one yourself.

Questions people ask
Is MiniSourcer a full replacement for HireEZ?
For finding and scoring candidates for a role, yes. HireEZ leans enterprise — deep filters, team workflows and sales-led onboarding. MiniSourcer is deliberately smaller: describe the role, get scored profiles, manage the pipeline. If you need heavy enterprise configuration, HireEZ fits better; if you mainly want results you pay for, MiniSourcer does.
How much cheaper is pay-per-candidate than per seat?
It depends on how many candidates a seat actually produces. A per-seat plan costs the same in a quiet month as a busy one. With MiniSourcer you pay from about $0.085 per sourced candidate, so a slow month simply costs less.
Can I try it without talking to sales?
Yes. Sign-up is self-serve, the first month is free with 20 credits, and no card is required.
