Most AI recruitment tools are built by software engineers who've never spent a day in a recruiter's shoes. Manatal is different. Born inside a recruitment agency, their software solves the exact pain points their founders lived through daily—now powering 440k monthly visits and $4.6M in revenue from just 40 employees.

"They're not just selling an ATS—they're selling the exact workflow that made their own recruitment agency successful, now supercharged by AI."

The Trustpilot rating of 2.2/5 from 29 reviews tells a more complex story. While the product clearly resonates with its core audience (hence the revenue and traffic), there's friction in the user experience that's creating vocal detractors. For a B2B SaaS product, this isn't necessarily a death sentence—it often signals rapid iteration and feature expansion that's creating rough edges. The question for investors: is this growing pain or product-market fit misalignment?

• AI sourcing isn't a bolt-on feature—it's core to their value prop and likely trained on real recruitment data
• 45% direct traffic indicates strong brand recall and repeat usage (recruiters come back daily)
• Tailwind CSS + Ant Design suggests a modern, component-driven frontend that can iterate fast
• Revenue per employee of $115k is healthy for a vertical SaaS play at this scale
