Sonny vs Vincere.

Vincere is a strong recruitment OS — ATS, CRM, dashboards, broad integrations. The catch: like every legacy ATS, the AI is recently bolted-on and the per-seat pricing punishes growth. Sonny isn't an ATS; it's the AI recruiter you point at your existing stack. Most agencies run Sonny on top of whatever ATS they already use (Vincere included).

Why agencies switch.

Replace the sourcing tools, keep your ATS

Sonny replaces your contact-data + LinkedIn Recruiter + sourcing automation stack. Your Vincere ATS keeps doing what it's good at; Sonny handles the AI work it's not.

PECR-compliant outreach by design

Consent SMS → Y reply → voice agent. Audit-logged. Vincere's outreach is bring-your-own-compliance — fine in the UK if you build the layer yourself.

Sub-90s response on inbound

52% of talent leaders say speed-to-first-contact is the #1 hiring lever. Sonny's autopilot handles inbound in <90 seconds; manual workflows take hours.
