Untapped

🎯 Should you use Untapped?

Buy if: You have budget and board-level mandate to hire from HBCUs, HSIs, or community colleges and need a curated pipeline nobody else is tapping.

Skip if: You don't have explicit diversity hiring goals or you're a solo recruiter who can't justify enterprise pricing for a niche pool.

⚡ In practice

• ●Setup: Weeks, not hours, to integrate and train team
• ●Pipeline building: Curated lists beat scraping LinkedIn for underrepresented talent
• ●Engagement: Direct access to candidates who ignore traditional sourcing channels

⚠️ Where it breaks

• ●No free trial means you buy blind without testing candidate quality first.
• ●Data accuracy drops hard outside major metro areas where partner schools concentrate.

💸 Is it worth the money?

Pricing is unpublished, so expect enterprise SaaS negotiation and likely $10k+ annual minimum. Worth it if diversity hiring is a measured KPI with executive teeth, not worth it if it's a nice-to-have checkbox.

🆚 If not this

• ●hireEZ -> broader talent pool with diversity filters, but you lose the HBCU/HSI curation
• ●Gem -> better for passive sourcing at scale, but no community college pipeline access

🎯 Final verdict

Buy only if diversity sourcing is budgeted and measured, not aspirational.
