infoGIST vs. TalentHook vs. SourcePoint vs. DataFrenzy

If you use job boards to source candidates - including pay boards, free boards, Craigslist and LinkedIn - you can either go from one site to the next duplicating your searches or you can use a resume aggregator to compile them into a single list. It is a huge time saver if you are a frequent visitor to multiple sites. This posting is not going to be a comprehensive review of each of the four tools, but rather a brief comparison and my final verdict on which one I chose for my company. It's also important to note that I posted a question about this on LinkedIn and am drawing from the answers given.

DataFrenzy RAM - Advantages: Because it is web-based, DataFrenzy allows multiple users to share a single license. Information is shared, so if you contact a candidate through the interface, other recruiters can see that activity. The price is the cheapest of the bunch at $1,200 per year ($100 per month) and there are no long term contracts, so you can cancel at any time. Disadvantages: Only 10 searches can be performed per day per license. I know that many recruiters like to set up hordes of agents to continually scour the resume universe, so this would necessitate buying multiple licenses. The bulk email feature is limited to a few hundred people at a time.
