Why Indian staffing firms are switching
LinkedIn Recruiter gives you InMail credits — but candidates don't check LinkedIn InMail regularly. SourceIQ gives you verified email and phone numbers, plus WhatsApp outreach with 98% open rates. In India, WhatsApp is where candidates respond.
The cost difference is dramatic: LinkedIn Recruiter starts at ₹60,000+/month per seat. SourceIQ's Professional plan gives 5 recruiters full AI sourcing, enrichment, and outreach for ₹9,999/month total. That's 30x less per recruiter.
Better sourcing at 1/30th the cost
