Competition & the opening
LinkedIn Recruiter (LinkedIn itself), Gem, Hireez, Juicebox (PeopleGPT), SeekOut, and Fetcher form a 9/10 crowded market. LinkedIn Recruiter owns the distribution lock-in. The gap: you'd compete on AI-powered evaluation quality or niche verticals (e.g., engineering-only sourcing), but LinkedIn's access controls and API restrictions limit your leverage.
