The address a candidate actually reads
Run your search on LinkedIn or Recruiter, start Cuvy on the results page, and each candidate comes back with a work address and, where one exists, a personal one. Both together cost one credit for that person, once. Candidates who have changed employer are flagged rather than left to bounce, and there is no sourcing seat to buy.

The work inbox belongs to the employer they are thinking of leaving
Which is the practical reason recruiting runs on personal addresses and outbound does not.
A prospect reads a work email at work because the thing being offered is about work. A candidate is being asked to consider leaving — on a mail server their own IT department administers, in an inbox they lose access to on their last day. The message may be perfectly good. The address is the problem.
So a shortlist wants both. The work address for the official parts of a process, the personal one for the first approach and for everything after somebody hands in notice. Cuvy returns both where both exist, for the same single credit, and tells you which sighting each one rests on.
The other half is timing. Outbound can live with a list a quarter of which has moved, because a prospect who moved is simply a different prospect. In recruiting the person is the point, so when they move you want the row updated rather than replaced — which is why job-change monitoring earns its place here and is a nicety elsewhere.
Two addresses, one person, one credit
They behave differently, and the difference is not confidence — it is who owns the mailbox.
| Row | Personal address | Work address |
|---|---|---|
| Still reaches them the week after they resign | Yes | No |
| Mailbox is administered by | The candidate | Their current employer |
| How often one comes back | Only where one exists to be found | More often, on public company domains |
| What it adds to the bill | Nothing — the same credit as the work one | One credit for the person |
| The message it suits | A first approach about a move | A booked interview, an offer, paperwork |
Three numbers a sourcing budget turns on
- 1
- credit per candidate, however many addresses come back
- 50
- addresses a month before you pay anything
- 5,000
- addresses a month on Pro, the plan that watches for job changes
Work, personal and any alias for the same human are one charge, once — including when the same name turns up on a search you run next quarter.
No card. Enough to run it over a shortlist you have already placed and see whether it agrees with what you know.
$49 a month, $0.0098 an address, 3 seats on one balance.
Where a shortlist comes from and where it goes
Recruiter, Sales Navigator, plain search
It reads whichever results page you already have open. Nothing is signed into on your behalf and nothing is sent from your account.
When a placement moves
You are told when somebody on a saved list changes employer. The new address is found once, and the person is not charged again.
Into your ATS
There is no ATS connector yet, and we would rather say so. A CSV, a or the API is how a shortlist gets there today.
What recruiters ask before the first run
Can Cuvy find a candidate's personal email address?
Where one exists and can be tied to that person, yes, and it comes out beside the work address on the same row. Both belong to one human, so together they are a single credit. A personal address seen by only one source is labelled that way and shown the sighting it rests on, so you can decide whether to use it.
Do I need a LinkedIn Recruiter seat for this?
No. Cuvy reads whichever results page you have open — Recruiter, Sales Navigator or a plain people search. What a Recruiter seat changes is what LinkedIn shows you: on a plain search, people outside your network appear with no name at all, and Cuvy cannot look up somebody it cannot see a name for. That is a limit of the page, not of your plan.
Does the candidate get told that I looked them up?
Cuvy opens no profiles at all, so it adds nothing to a candidate's "who viewed your profile" list, and it sends no messages, invitations or InMail from your account. Profiles you click yourself are between you and LinkedIn, exactly as they were before you installed anything.
A candidate changed job halfway through my pipeline. What happens to the row?
On Pro and above the row is flagged when they move and the new work address is looked up once. The same person is never charged a second time, so the updated row costs nothing beyond the credit you spent when you first found them. If a personal address came back with them originally, that is the one that survived the move.
I source in bursts. Can I run a shortlist of thirty without committing to a plan?
The free plan covers 50 addresses a month with no card, which is a shortlist and a little over. Beyond that, Starter is $19 a month for 500 addresses, and credits you do not use in a quiet month carry into the next one, up to twice your allowance, rather than lapsing.
Is it alright to email a candidate who has not applied to anything?
We are not your lawyers and the answer turns on where the candidate is. What we can tell you is what the tool does: it hands over an address, the source it was seen on and the date, and it sends nothing itself. In the UK and EU, recruitment outreach is usually run under legitimate interests, which means identifying yourself and making it simple to be left alone. The trust page sets out our own posture.
