What agencies running volume desks measured with Globus.ai
Two tools built for two different desks
Ezekia is organised exactly how a retained search firm thinks: Assignments, Opportunities, Lists. Globus.ai is a full agentic ATS built first for temp, contract and healthcare staffing, where volume and compliance are the job. Ezekia's real strengths, flexible contracts, no hidden fees, GDPR depth, are kept honestly in this table rather than hedged away.
| Feature | Globus.ai | Ezekia |
|---|---|---|
| Retained search structure (assignments, BD pipeline, board reporting) | Not our specialty - Ezekia is purpose-built for this | Core strength: work organised around assignments, opportunities and lists |
| Client portal and candidate reporting | Control Room gives clients live visibility across every placement | A genuine strength - secure, branded, customisable client reports |
| Contract, interim and shift-based placement at volume | Core: order intake, availability confirmation, compliance, SLA-based routing | Not a stated focus - no native job-board publishing, shift or contract tooling |
| Sourcing database | Reasoning-based semantic match across the whole database, with a written explanation | No large native sourcing database - recruiters bring candidates in via LinkedIn or integrations |
| AI matching over unstructured data (notes, call transcripts) | Every automated decision reasons over structured and unstructured data, with an explanation | AI-assisted search over structured profile fields; notes and transcripts are not part of the search |
| Outbound sequencing and automation | Built into the platform, no separate subscription | Lighter native automation - typically paired with a third-party outreach tool |
| Contract terms | Usage-based, scales up or down with real volume | Flexible monthly contracts, no long-term lock-in - a real, honest strength |
| Pricing model | Usage-based Globus Credits, published model | Custom pricing - not published, quoted after a demo |

Ezekia alternative, common questions
Should a firm running only retained executive search switch from Ezekia to Globus.ai?
No, not if that is the whole business. Ezekia is purpose-built for retained search, its client portal and GDPR depth are real strengths, and its flexible monthly contracts are genuinely recruiter-friendly. Globus.ai is a full agentic ATS built first for temp, contract and healthcare staffing volume, a different job.
What if a firm runs both retained search and contract or interim desks?
That is the actual fit. Many agencies keep retained search on the specialist tool it was built for and run everything else, contract, interim, healthcare, on Globus.ai as a full agentic ATS. The two do not have to be the same platform.
Is Ezekia a good product?
Yes, particularly for European boutique and mid-sized retained-search firms and PE/VC talent teams. Its client portal, GDPR posture and no-lock-in contracts are all real, well-earned strengths. If your firm is purely retained search, it deserves to be on your shortlist.
What does Ezekia cost?
Ezekia does not publish standard pricing - it quotes a custom number after a demo, generally reported in the same range as other premium retained-search platforms. Ask for their current number directly rather than relying on a third-party estimate.
How does the AI compare?
Ezekia's AI tools help summarise profiles, generate reports and run free-text search over structured data, useful and included in the base price. They do not reason over notes, call transcripts or attachments. Globus.ai's agents match on structured and unstructured data together and explain every result, built for higher-volume desks.
Do you have European data residency?
Yes. Data is processed in the EU, with GDPR compliance, human-in-the-loop review and an audit trail on every automated decision.
