The hours an agency loses hunting for someone to call are not won back by any CRM, however well it manages clients, assignments and registered candidates. When a consultant's day goes on tracking down passive profiles and getting their phone number, not on administering contracts, HeyTalent is the best option against Vincere: it extracts LinkedIn profiles in real time, finds email and phone, and automates the first contact, with a free ATS to follow the process. Vincere is the better fit when the names are already in the database and what gets messy is client relationships, open processes and reporting.
What Vincere is and what HeyTalent is
Vincere is CRM and ATS software for recruitment agencies: it brings together, in one system, the database of registered candidates, the commercial relationship with clients, open assignments and the tracking of every process. An ATS is defined as the official record of the hiring process, showing who is at each stage and why they moved forward or were rejected; the guide on what an ATS is explains it in more detail.
HeyTalent is an AI sourcing platform: it turns a brief into a search with advanced LinkedIn filters, extracts the profiles, filters them with AI variables the recruiter writes, finds emails and phone numbers, and launches LinkedIn sequences of invitations, follow-ups and InMails.

In 2024, 65% of Spanish companies used digital tools for HR management, according to an InfoJobs survey of 1,340 HR and hiring managers in Spain. The question is no longer whether to use software, but which stage to cover first.
What HeyTalent does before the candidate reaches Vincere
HeyTalent covers the stretch from the client's assignment to the first conversation with a passive candidate: finding them, filtering them, getting their contact details and writing to them.
How a profile moves through HeyTalent
- Brief to search. The recruiter describes the role in two lines and HeyTalent turns it into a search with advanced LinkedIn filters.
- Extraction. HeyTalent extracts profiles in real time and up to date, including outside the recruiter's network and without a LinkedIn Recruiter licence.
- AI filter. The AI variables the team defines, such as English level, rank the list; an inference prioritises the review, it does not certify a skill.
- Contact. HeyTalent finds emails and phone numbers (more in the guide to candidate data enrichment).
- Outreach. The sequence of invitations, follow-ups and InMails is written once and runs on its own.
Replies land in a shared inbox you can filter by job and by recruiter. From the conversation, the candidate moves to HeyTalent's ATS in one click, and lists export to CSV without limit so they can be loaded into another system.
According to HeyTalent, its users work 60% faster during their first month of use, an average efficiency gain the company attributes to tighter, better-filtered lists. It is a self-reported first-month figure, not a reduction in time to hire.
HeyTalent's ATS costs nothing; what you pay for is the sourcing layer. That ATS publishes jobs on a branded careers page and on Google Jobs, creates one pipeline per job and shares it with the client, who sees only the stages and CVs the agency chooses.
HeyTalent's limit against Vincere is clear: it has no sales CRM. An agency that lives on managing client accounts and business reporting will still need Vincere or another agency CRM.
How to tell whether your agency loses hours searching or managing
An agency loses hours searching when its jobs spend more days without names than without replies, and managing when there are candidates in the database that nobody moves.
- The list fits on one sheet and the client is waiting. Names or contact details are missing: a CRM does not produce candidates; HeyTalent does cover that stage.
- The names exist but get lost between salespeople and clients. Order is missing: there, Vincere adds more than a sourcing tool.
Note at which stage the days piled up on your last five jobs: that figure decides the purchase better than a feature list.
How HeyTalent filters and contacts candidates compared with Vincere
HeyTalent prioritises and contacts profiles that are not yet in the agency's database: the recruiter defines AI variables for the job and the LinkedIn sequence sends itself. Vincere organises actions on candidates and clients already on record, within the status of each process.
A badly defined HeyTalent variable can prioritise profiles that do not fit: review the criteria against the first results before scaling the campaign.

How much HeyTalent and Vincere cost in 2026
HeyTalent publishes its prices: plans start at €93/month billed annually, are charged per organisation and include unlimited users on every plan. This comparison does not publish Vincere figures: we could not check its pricing page as of 31 October 2026, and an unverified number does not help anyone decide.
| HeyTalent plan | Annual plan price | Quarterly plan price | Candidates per month | Automated outreach accounts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recruiter | €93/month | €109/month | Up to 2,000 | 1 |
| Agency | €182/month | €214/month | Up to 5,000 | 2 |
| Ultra | €509/month | €599/month | Up to 14,000 | 3 |
Every plan includes email and phone lookup and unlimited CSV export; Ultra adds priority support.
Compared with LinkedIn Recruiter, which is paid per seat, HeyTalent charges one fee per organisation: the company puts the saving at up to 5x, a margin that widens with every recruiter added to the team and narrows for someone working alone.
