In short

What you need to know.
Before the cell-by-cell detail.

Leonar, published in Paris by Licorne Society, is an AI-first ATS + CRM used by more than 400 recruitment agencies: candidates, clients and deals in one workspace, AI sourcing and matching, multichannel sequences (email, WhatsApp, text messages), an MCP server and API included, with a public price and a free trial. Marvin shares that core (ATS, CRM, AI, MCP, hosting in France) and differs on three points: multi-posting is part of the subscription and AI interview notes are part of the Suite plan, LinkedIn steps in sequences run automatically, and the back office of agencies that also place contractors (missions, timesheets, day-rate invoicing) lives in the same tool.

Why Marvin over Leonar

What tips the decision.

  1. Multi-posting included in the subscription

    At Leonar, an optional paid module with an ad quota.

  2. Automated LinkedIn steps in sequences, with calibrated quotas

    At Leonar, every LinkedIn action is done manually by the recruiter, a deliberate choice by the publisher.

  3. AI interview notes included in the Suite plan

    At Leonar, an add-on from €15 to €39 per user per month.

  4. Missions, contractor timesheets and day-rate invoices

    Not documented at Leonar.
