Stop paying €835/mo for LinkedIn Recruiter. Source smarter.

You're paying for search results you can't evaluate
LinkedIn Recruiter gives you candidate lists. Long ones. But for 90% of profiles, you don't recognize the employers they've worked at.
€835/mo for Recruiter — and you still spend hours googling employers
InMail credits run out, but you can't tell which candidates are worth contacting
Recruiter Lite (€140/mo) has the same blind spot: no employer context
Sales Navigator is cheaper but designed for sales, not sourcing
The core issue: LinkedIn tells you where someone worked. It doesn't tell you what that employer actually does, how big they are, or whether the experience is relevant to your vacancy.

What SourceLens adds that LinkedIn Recruiter doesn't have
Employer intelligence
For every candidate, see sector, company size, revenue class, product complexity, customer segment, growth phase and culture of their employers. 18 dimensions total.
Works with your existing LinkedIn
No need for a Recruiter seat. SourceLens works as a Chrome extension on top of LinkedIn Basic, Premium, or any tier you already have.
AI matching against your vacancy
SourceLens doesn't just show employer data — it matches the full candidate profile against your specific vacancy requirements. Shortlist or skip in seconds.
“We switched from LinkedIn Recruiter to SourceLens + Sales Navigator. We save over €600/mo per recruiter and actually make better shortlists because we finally understand the employers our candidates come from.”

Common questions
Can SourceLens fully replace LinkedIn Recruiter?
SourceLens replaces the employer research and candidate evaluation part. For InMail credits, you'd use your existing LinkedIn messaging or a separate outreach tool. Many recruiters pair SourceLens with Sales Navigator or LinkedIn Premium for the best cost-to-value ratio.
Does SourceLens work with LinkedIn Basic (free)?
Yes. The Chrome extension works on any LinkedIn tier — Basic, Premium, Sales Navigator, or Recruiter. You don't need a paid LinkedIn plan.
How is the employer analysis different from just reading a LinkedIn company page?
LinkedIn company pages show self-reported marketing copy. SourceLens analyzes employers across 18 structured dimensions — sector, revenue class, product complexity, customer segment, growth phase — giving you an objective, comparable view across all employers in a search.
What does the AI matching do exactly?
AI2 takes the full candidate profile (work history, employer context, skills) and scores it against your specific vacancy requirements. You get a match score and reasoning, so you can make a shortlist decision in seconds instead of minutes.
Is there a contract or lock-in period?
No. SourceLens is billed monthly. Cancel anytime. The 14-day free trial doesn't require a credit card.
