A sourcing tool here, an email tool there, a CRM, an ATS, and spreadsheets to glue it together. Data leaks at every handoff. Candidates go cold while you copy-paste between tabs.
Your consultants lose hours every week to admin instead of talking to people, and you never get a clean view of the whole desk.
Boolean and AI search across LinkedIn, GitHub and 30+ sources, with verified emails and phones revealed on demand. Profiles scored against your brief.
Build sequences that combine email, LinkedIn, SMS and WhatsApp with smart follow-ups. Every reply lands in one shared inbox your team can see.
A visual ATS pipeline for every mandate, plus a built-in CRM for candidate and client relationships. Drag, drop, and never lose a prospect.
Track client deals, placements and revenue in the built-in sales CRM, with analytics on response rates, time-to-hire and team productivity.

LinkedIn Recruiter limits you to LinkedIn data and basic InMails. Leonar gives you access to 870M+ profiles across 30+ sources, multi-channel automated outreach, a collaborative CRM, and advanced analytics, all in one platform at a fraction of the cost.
Yes. Leonar includes a built-in MCP server that lets AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, or custom agents connect directly to your recruiting data. Your AI agent can source candidates, manage pipelines, send outreach, and pull analytics, all in natural language.

An AI-powered recruiting platform combines candidate sourcing, automated outreach, and CRM capabilities into a single workspace designed for modern talent acquisition teams. Instead of juggling separate tools for finding candidates, sending messages, tracking pipelines, and collaborating with hiring managers, a recruiting platform like Leonar centralizes every step of the hiring process. AI augments every stage: from discovering qualified profiles across 870 million candidates to generating personalized outreach messages that get replies.
Most recruiting teams piece together a stack of disconnected tools: LinkedIn Recruiter for sourcing, a separate email tool for outreach, spreadsheets for tracking, and an ATS for compliance. Each handoff between tools creates friction, data loss, and delays. Leonar replaces this fragmented approach with a single recruiting platform that covers the entire hiring workflow. Source candidates from LinkedIn, GitHub, and 30+ databases. Build multi-channel outreach sequences combining email, LinkedIn, and SMS. Track every candidate through a visual pipeline with real-time analytics. Whether you are a staffing agency managing dozens of mandates or an internal talent team filling critical roles, every action happens in one place.
LinkedIn Recruiter is familiar, but it locks you into a single data source with limited automation. Leonar gives you access to 870 million profiles across 30+ platforms, not just LinkedIn. Our AI sourcing engine matches candidates to your requirements and ranks them by relevance, so you spend less time searching and more time engaging the right people. Automated multi-channel sequences reach candidates where they are most responsive, whether that is email, LinkedIn, or SMS. And with a built-in recruiting CRM, your team maintains a shared history of every interaction across candidates and clients, ensuring no candidate or deal falls through the cracks. Teams using Leonar report cutting their sourcing time by more than half while improving response rates across every channel.
Leonar plugs into the tools your consultants use every day. LinkedIn Recruiter, Sales Navigator, and Classic for sourcing and outreach, with the Chrome extension and the server-side project history backfill. Gmail and Outlook for email sequences and unified inbox threading. WhatsApp Business and InMail for direct candidate messaging. VoIP integrations for one-click calling logged on the candidate timeline. And with a full REST API and MCP server for AI agents, your team can let AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT source candidates, draft messages, and manage pipelines directly against your workspace.
Leonar adapts to the way your team works. Recruitment agencies use it as their ATS + CRM for recruiting agencies, managing multiple client mandates with separate pipelines and shared candidate pools. Internal talent acquisition teams rely on it as a sourcing and engagement layer on top of their existing ATS. Executive search firms leverage confidential pipelines and a client portal to run retained searches with full transparency. Whatever your hiring model, Leonar provides the sourcing depth, outreach automation, and collaboration tools you need to fill roles faster.
