When Mainder makes sense

  • You recruit for professional, technical or specialist roles and need to source candidates outside your database.
  • You run recruiting for several clients or brands and need a Career Site for each one.
  • You want published per-user pricing and to start without a sales call.

When Orbio AI makes sense

  • You hire frontline staff in high volume, for example in retail, hospitality or logistics.
  • You want an AI agent that phones candidates and screens them by voice.
  • You want recruiting, onboarding and employee engagement handled by agents from the same vendor.
