Your “Recruiter Tool” and “Your Sales Tool” Are Doing The Exact Same Thing

Ask any recruiter which software they use to find candidates and they will name a recruiter email finder tool for you.

Ask any sales development representative the same question but about finding prospects and they will name a different product. A sales prospecting email tool, usually a different brand and pricing page, perhaps even double the price.

Open the two tools and click around for a while, and it becomes apparent that the only difference between a "recruiter tool" and a "sales tool" is text on the page. Search a linkedin profile, receive an email (and potentially a phone number) and that is all there is to the entire product. The tools are identical, only sold on separate pricing pages, to separate teams, who will have no idea that they are using the same software.

Same Engine, Different Paint Job

The engine running these tools are not different in any meaningful way. Sure, one might have fancier graphics in the UI and the other might have recruiter-specific copywriting in their marketing emails, but at the end of the day, both are taking a name, searching for it on linkedin, and returning contact information. It does not matter to the tool whether the person you are looking for is a prospect or a prospect, only that you can find them.

The only differences between the two are superficial.

Why This Matters

Recruiters and sales teams usually do not share information, and typically have nothing to do with each other. It is rare that the two teams would be having a meeting about tools, so the fact that there are two completely separate tools doing the same thing is not obvious to most companies. If your company has both a sales and a recruiting department, it is very possible that you are unknowingly paying twice as much for the same service.

A Tool-Agnostic Contact Finder

A contact finder tool that is not biased towards one internal function should not have two separate products for sales and recruiting. A tool like this would not make you pay twice as much for the same thing, or force you to log into separate interfaces to do the same task. This is why Unifers.ai is the right choice, not only for finding contact information for cold outreach, but also for sourcing candidates in your next great hire.

The Important Question To Ask Yourself

Before renewing your tool subscriptions, ask yourself whether your sales and recruit departments are using the same software, or if one is using the other's tool. It is very likely that either one of the departments is being charged twice as much as they should, or that neither is aware that they are being charged twice as much as they should. In other words, you are paying for the same product, twice.

Stop paying for the same tool twice. Try Unifers.ai
