Juicebox (PeopleGPT)

Juicebox is an AI-powered talent search and sourcing platform built around PeopleGPT, the natural language search interface that lets recruiters describe candidates in plain English rather than constructing Boolean searches across LinkedIn and other talent sources. Founded as a YC S22 company by David Paffenholz and Ishan Gupta, the platform indexes 800M+ professional profiles spanning LinkedIn-style data, GitHub, personal websites, and other publicly available sources. Target users are in-house recruiters at growing companies, small talent teams without a dedicated sourcing specialist, and agency recruiters managing high volumes of technical and specialised roles. Juicebox Agents, launched in 2026, extend the platform from search into autonomous action: agents automatically email candidates and schedule initial calls once a shortlist is confirmed by the recruiter. Juicebox integrates with major ATS systems for candidate handoff and offers a Chrome extension for quick prospect review while browsing the web. No MCP server is currently published. Team collaboration features allow multiple recruiters to work on shared candidate projects on the Growth plan (up to 5 seats). Custom ATS integrations and SSO are available at Business tier (custom pricing). Specific named ATS partners are not listed publicly; teams should verify compatibility with their current ATS before committing. Integration depth beyond ATS and Chrome extension is limited relative to platforms like hireEZ, which offers deeper workflow connectivity. Pricing is fully public across four tiers. The Free plan at $0 covers limited searches and AI email templates, making it practical to evaluate PeopleGPT before committing to a paid plan. Starter at $139 per seat per month (or approximately $119 annually with the 15% discount) covers individual recruiters with unlimited searches, 250 contact credits (email), and up to 3 active projects. Growth at $199 per seat per month covers small teams with 1,000 contact and export credits, mailboxes, and up to 5 seats. Business is custom-priced with SSO, advanced security controls, and dedicated support. Annual billing is available at 15% off across all paid plans. Juicebox is not suited to teams that need deep ATS workflow integration with specific named systems: Juicebox does not publish a named ATS integration list, and teams where pipeline handoff is a priority should evaluate hireEZ (264 G2 reviews, confirmed ATS integrations) or Fetcher (from $379/month) instead. Teams primarily focused on inbound applicant management rather than outbound sourcing should evaluate Ashby or Greenhouse, which are purpose-built for structured hiring pipelines rather than sourcing reach. The per-seat model at $139 to $199 becomes expensive at larger team sizes compared to per-organisation alternatives.
