Product overview
Mantiks and index Advertsdata share an important idea: public hiring activity can reveal which companies may need recruitment support. The main difference is what happens after that signal has been found.
INDEX ADVERTSDATA
Best for established European labour-market intelligence

Salesdriver
What is index Advertsdata?
index Advertsdata is an established European recruitment-data and lead-generation platform. According to its current public product pages, it analyses more than 81 million job adverts from approximately 850 digital and print media outlets and 1.7 million career sites across 12 European countries.
Its Classic product helps recruitment firms search job adverts, identify hiring companies, generate leads and monitor market activity. Advertsdata Premium adds features including Salesdriver, CV-to-company matching, skills search, commute analysis, market analytics, ATS detection and API or CRM integration.
This breadth makes index Advertsdata particularly relevant to staffing groups, labour-market analysts and recruitment organisations operating across several European markets.
MANTIKS
Best for recruitment prospecting and opportunity activation
Hiring signals
Best Fitting
End-client identification
What is Mantiks?
Mantiks is a recruitment prospecting platform designed to turn hiring needs into commercial opportunities. Recruiters can search the market directly, upload a candidate CV, monitor selected companies or let an AI agent watch a defined market.
Mantiks then helps prioritise the opportunities most likely to require external support. It can identify reposted adverts, jobs that have remained active for more than 45 days, concentrated recruitment campaigns and companies with sustained hiring activity.
The platform can automatically exclude recruitment agencies and IT services or consulting firms from direct-employer results. For high-confidence agency adverts, Mantiks can also identify the likely end client behind the published requirement.
Once an opportunity is selected, Mantiks uses its Best Fitting capability to identify the most relevant operational manager or recruiter and can retrieve business contact details through People Lookup.

Where Mantiks stands out
Mantiks is designed around the daily business-development workflow of a recruiter. Its value begins with job data, but the intended result is a prioritised and contactable opportunity.
Recruiters can identify adverts that have been republished, roles that remain active after more than 45 days and companies running concentrated hiring campaigns. These signals make it easier to focus on employers that may be experiencing genuine recruitment pressure.
Mantiks can automatically remove recruitment agencies and IT services or consulting firms from direct-employer searches. When the requirement itself has been published by an agency, Mantiks can also perform reverse sourcing to identify the likely end client. Results are displayed only when the platform has a high level of confidence.
The Best Fitting capability then identifies the person most relevant to the role, whether that is an operational manager or a recruiter. An AI agent checks several public sources, including LinkedIn and Google, before suggesting the contact. People Lookup can also be used to find the business contact details of a specific person on demand.
This makes Mantiks particularly relevant to agencies that want to reduce the number of manual steps between discovering a hiring need and starting a qualified commercial conversation.

Where index Advertsdata stands out
index Advertsdata has a long-established position in European recruitment data. Its current product materials describe coverage across 12 European countries and a source mix that includes digital jobboards, company career pages, public employment portals and print media.
That breadth is valuable for staffing groups that need regional market visibility, competitor analysis or evidence for labour-market consulting. Print and extended-ad signals can also reveal employers investing heavily in recruitment or struggling to close positions.
Advertsdata Premium and Salesdriver provide a credible candidate-led selling workflow. Recruiters can upload a CV, identify companies recruiting a similar profile and prepare a targeted commercial conversation. For organisations already using index Advertsdata across several markets, this combination of market intelligence and candidate placement can be compelling.
For buyers whose first priority is mature European labour-market analysis, index Advertsdata should be treated as a strong option rather than reduced to a simple job-scraping tool.
Prioritise the hiring needs most likely to require support
A new job advert is useful, but it does not always indicate urgency. Mantiks adds context that helps recruiters decide where to spend their time.
Reposted job
The company has published the requirement again, suggesting the first campaign may not have delivered the expected result.
Active for more than 45 days
A long-running vacancy can indicate a difficult-to-fill role or increasing operational pressure.
Hiring campaign detected
Several related openings can reveal a new team, expansion plan or sustained volume requirement.
Target account started hiring
Monitor a defined list of companies and receive an alert as soon as a relevant recruitment need appears.
These signals do not prove that a company will use an agency. They help a recruiter prioritise accounts with more relevant and timely reasons to start a conversation.
Move from the job advert to the right conversation
Job data is only useful for business development when the recruiter knows who should receive the approach.
Mantiks’ Best Fitting capability analyses the role and team context before identifying the most relevant operational manager or recruiter. Its AI agent checks several sources to support that selection rather than simply returning the first HR contact associated with the company.
Recruiters can reveal business email, phone and LinkedIn details, or use People Lookup to research a specific person directly.
For agency-published adverts, Mantiks can also identify the likely end client when the available signals reach a high confidence level. This creates a prospecting route that is different from simply excluding agency adverts from the results.

Turn a strong candidate into a list of potential clients
Both Mantiks and Advertsdata support candidate-led business development.
With Mantiks, a recruiter can upload a PDF CV and anonymise it immediately. The original CV is not retained; only the anonymised version is stored. The matching score is provided through Trimoji, a specialist matching partner.
Mantiks then identifies relevant active opportunities and the companies recruiting similar profiles. The recruiter can prioritise the strongest matches, review hiring-pressure signals and identify the right decision-maker.
Advertsdata Premium offers its own candidate-led workflow through Salesdriver, which matches a CV to target companies and can prepare a commercial call script. Buyers should test both products using the same anonymised candidate profiles rather than comparing marketing descriptions alone.
Connect hiring signals to the rest of your workflow
Mantiks provides API, webhook and MCP access. Webhooks can be used to send qualified opportunities into third-party CRM, ATS, automation or outreach workflows.
Mantiks currently connects qualified opportunities to third-party outreach workflows through webhooks. Native outreach is coming soon.
index Advertsdata Premium promotes API and CRM or ATS integration, particularly around Salesdriver and candidate matching.
The practical evaluation should focus on the desired outcome: which records are transferred, how duplicates are handled, how frequently data is refreshed and what the recruiter still needs to do after the opportunity reaches the destination system.

Pricing and access
Mantiks publishes standard pricing. Basic costs €99 per month on a 12-month commitment and includes 500 monthly credits. Starter costs €190 per month on a 12-month commitment and includes 1,000 monthly credits, bulk exports, automated reports, CRM or ATS export workflows and webhooks.
Mantiks offers a seven-day trial with 50 credits. Unused credits can roll over, and customers with an active subscription can purchase additional credits when required.
index Advertsdata does not publish a standard price. Its FAQ explains that pricing is tailored according to the required countries, information, features and user licences. The regular contract period is 12 months, although shorter arrangements may be available at additional cost.
The fairest comparison is not the subscription price alone. Buyers should compare the cost per usable opportunity: a relevant hiring need, the correct company, the right decision-maker and valid contact details.
Which platform should you choose?
Choose index Advertsdata if your organisation primarily needs broad European labour-market intelligence, established regional analysis, print and public-employment sources, or an existing multi-country candidate-led selling workflow.
Choose Mantiks if your recruitment consultants need to act directly on the data: identify urgent signals, exclude intermediaries, uncover high-confidence end clients, match candidates, select the best person to contact and move the opportunity into an existing commercial workflow.
For a meaningful evaluation, test both platforms with the same roles, regions, target companies and anonymised candidate profiles. Measure the number of relevant opportunities, correct companies, useful decision-makers and contactable leads rather than relying only on database-size claims.

Methodology
This comparison is based on publicly available product pages, pricing pages and documentation reviewed on 19 August 2026, together with product information supplied by Mantiks.
Capabilities and prices can change. Figures attributed to index Advertsdata are vendor-reported and have not been independently audited by Mantiks. Database-size figures use different definitions and periods and should not be compared as if they measured the same thing.
Where a capability could not be verified in the reviewed public materials, the page uses “Not publicly documented” rather than assuming that the feature does not exist.
