Sense review

Sense takes a different route from the hourly-hiring chatbots: instead of replacing your applicant tracking system, it turns the ATS into an active engagement engine. Its AI Recruiter screens, matches and engages candidates across their preferred channels, and teams choose whether to automate only early outreach or let it run roles end to end. Messaging covers one-to-one texts, campaigns and automated SMS and WhatsApp flows, and an AI phone product places instant calls for screening and reference checks. Scheduling handles one-to-one, panel and sequential interviews. A conversational CRM keeps candidate history inside the ATS so recruiters can rediscover past applicants. This suits staffing agencies whose databases are full of people worth re-engaging, which is where most of its customer quotes come from. There is no public price or self-serve trial, so expect a demo and a quote, and its results depend on how clean the data in your ATS is.
