One inbox for email and LinkedIn. And it does its own filing.
The conversations that make fees happen in email and LinkedIn DMs, then vanish into tabs your CRM never sees. SearchOS puts Gmail, Outlook and LinkedIn in one inbox, attached to the candidates, clients and searches they belong to, with the admin doing itself underneath.
Email built for how recruiters actually work
Split inboxes separate candidates, clients and noise. Threads collapse quoted history properly. Snooze, send later, undo send and signatures work the way you expect from a modern email client, because your inbox is where the day happens.
LinkedIn DMs, in the same inbox
Candidate interest, objections, warm BD replies: the real process happens in DMs, and in most CRMs it disappears. Here LinkedIn conversations sit under their own label, you reply from the SearchOS composer through your own LinkedIn account, and every thread logs against the person automatically.
- LinkedIn DMs alongside Gmail and Outlook, one workflow
- Reply from SearchOS, conversations stay attached to records
- A daily safety budget keeps your account activity at human pace
- Old threads sync in, so history is on the record from day one
- Included in every plan, not sold as a paid add-on
The inbox that updates the CRM for you
AI triages and labels incoming mail, parses signatures into contact records, attaches email history to the right timelines and recognises job-board applicant emails on sight.
- Any email becomes a contact, candidate or company in one click
- Signatures parsed into structured data automatically
- Email history lands on record timelines without filing
- Smart rules and auto-labels keep the noise down
Applicants arrive pre-screened
When an application lands, SearchOS treats the CV as the source of truth, screens the person against your brief and ranks the pipeline best-fit first with the reasoning attached. You open an ordered shortlist, not a pile.
The Chrome extension closes the loop
On any LinkedIn profile, the SearchOS extension shows whether the person is already in your CRM, their relationship warmth and live sequences. Add them as a candidate or contact in one click, coded and ready. LinkedIn stays part of the desk, not a separate black hole.
Questions recruiters ask us
Which email providers work?
Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, connected with OAuth in a couple of clicks. Your mail stays in your account; SearchOS syncs a working copy.
Is the LinkedIn side safe for my account?
SearchOS works alongside LinkedIn through Unipile and applies a conservative daily budget to messages and invitations so your activity stays at human pace. It never mass-automates your account.
Do I need LinkedIn Recruiter or Sales Navigator?
No. A standard LinkedIn account works. If you have premium products, they keep working as normal alongside SearchOS.
Do I have to stop using Gmail or Outlook?
No. SearchOS syncs both ways, so anything you do in your native client is reflected. Most users end up living in SearchOS because the CRM context is right there.
How does applicant screening work?
The CV is parsed and scored against the vacancy brief the moment it arrives. Knockouts are explained, and the pipeline ranks itself best-fit first.
Is the LinkedIn inbox an extra cost?
No. It is included in every SearchOS plan. Some competitors sell this as a separate add-on. We think it belongs in the core product.
Is my email data private?
Yes. Multi-tenant isolation is tested automatically, your tokens are yours, and no other customer can ever see your data.
