Is Manatal worth it?
Manatal is worth a trial if you want an ATS with sourcing and AI screening in one place.
It combines an applicant tracking system with a recruitment CRM, sourcing from 2,500+ job channels and AI features such as scoring, summaries and a multilingual AI Interviewer. The security page is detailed and mentions SOC 2 Type II. A 14-day trial lets you test it, but plan amounts were not in the pricing text we read, so check them before committing.
What is Manatal?
Manatal is AI recruitment software for HR teams, agencies and headhunters.
The site describes a scalable ATS and CRM that streamlines placements, with tailored views for enterprises, small businesses, startups and freelance recruiters. The About page says it has reached over 135 countries and partners with over 10,000+ companies.
It is positioned as a tool that is simple yet powerful, without a steep learning curve or a bloated interface, according to the home page.
What Manatal is built to do
The company says it was built with the vision of democratizing recruitment software. The product covers sourcing, candidate tracking, collaboration with hiring managers, reporting and client management.
Where Manatal operates
Manatal lists offices in Singapore at 160 Robinson Road, Business Center, and in Bangkok, Thailand. The pricing page notes additional GST for Singaporean tax residents.
Is Manatal legit and safe to use?
Manatal publishes more security and compliance detail than most software sites.
The security page says Manatal is SOC 2 Type II certified, hosted on Amazon Web Services, with uptime of 99.9% or higher.
Data handling at Manatal
All customer data is stored in the USA, communication is SSL encrypted, and full daily backups are retained for 30 days. Payment details are not stored by Manatal, because processing is outsourced to Stripe, a certified Level 1 PCI Service Provider.
Compliance tools
The platform includes tools to support GDPR, CCPA and PDPA compliance, such as consent gathering, consent tracking and permanent deletion on request. These are described as support tools, so your own policies still matter.
How we evaluated Manatal
This review is based on reading Manatal's own published pages.
We read the home page, features and sourcing pages, enterprise page, security page, pricing page, About page and terms of service. Toolavero did not sign up for or test the tool, so claims about AI accuracy and speed are the company's own. Customer quotes on its site were not treated as independent evidence.
Manatal output quality and limits
Manatal's AI features focus on scoring, matching and summaries.
The pricing page lists candidate recommendations from a job description, AI-generated job descriptions, a context-aware AI Copilot chat and candidate summarization.
The company also describes automatic scoring and AI summaries that show how candidates match your requirements. As with any automated scoring, treat the output as a starting point and review candidates yourself, since we could not assess accuracy.
AI Interviewer limits
The AI Interviewer screens candidates in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese. Automated screening can save time but may not suit every role, and employers remain responsible for fair hiring decisions. The Terms also say suspected shared logins from several locations may be suspended, which matters for teams sharing accounts.
Manatal key features
Manatal combines sourcing, tracking and agency tools.
Most features sit in one workspace so recruiters do not need many separate tools.
Other listed pieces include bulk resume parsing, automatic AI candidate scoring and a guest portal where hiring managers can review shared candidates.
Sourcing in Manatal
The People-Match AI Chrome extension pulls candidates from platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed and GitHub, and is available for all price plans. Jobs can be shared on 2,500+ channels, and a Sourcing Hub exposes over 700 million professionals.
Career pages and agency tools
Branded career pages, a candidate referral system and a vendor management system help teams and agencies collaborate. A custom report builder covers recruitment metrics.
Manatal pricing and plans
Manatal sells three plans, but the amounts were not in the text we read.
The pricing page compares Professional, Enterprise and Enterprise Plus, and notes that additional GST applies to Singaporean tax residents. The enterprise page lists transparent and flexible pricing without a lock-in contract.
A 14-day Free Trial is offered, so use it to check which plan covers your needs before paying.
The Chrome extension for sourcing is available for all price plans at no extra cost, which helps smaller buyers.
Support, refunds and cancellation
Support is by chat and email on weekdays, and refunds are limited.
Manatal offers 24/5 support by chat or email, with complete documentation.
The enterprise page adds that Manatal offers dedicated support for migration, live chat support and team training for onboarding, which helps if you are moving from another system. Weekday-only coverage matters for teams working across time zones.
Trial, refunds and exports
The home page offers a 14-day Free Trial. Under the Terms, customers may receive some refunds at Manatal's discretion for unavailability, never higher than the respective monthly customer fee. Subscribers get one free data export a year.
Who should use Manatal
Manatal fits teams that recruit continuously and want sourcing and tracking together.
Recruitment agencies and headhunters can use the CRM side to track clients and placements. In-house HR teams get career pages, referral tools and AI screening. Very small teams with occasional hiring may prefer to confirm the price first.
Companies hiring across several countries may value the multilingual AI Interviewer, though they should review how it fits local hiring rules.
Final verdict on Manatal
Manatal is a credible, security-minded recruitment platform.
Its sourcing reach, AI screening and compliance tools are strong points. Use the 14-day trial, confirm plan pricing and check whether weekday support suits your team. Teams that hire regularly will get the most from it.
In short, this Manatal review finds a broad, well-documented platform where the main open question is price.
