Build Bridges, Not Silos.
Sense wants your team to live in another platform — their UI, your data in their cloud. GLYDE Unity unifies Microsoft 365 and your ATS instead: more AI agents, a stronger voice agent, and Buddy the recruiter copilot, right where recruiters already work.
More Agents. Stronger Voice. A Fraction of the Cost.
Book a Side-by-Side DemoSame Mission. Different Home.
Every staffing team feels the same three pressures. Sense answers them in a platform of its own. We answer them inside Microsoft.
AI that removes the grind
Prospecting, outreach, screening, note capture, and scheduling are the manual work that keeps recruiters off the phone with the right people.
Sense
AI Recruiter and AI Interviewer cut manual screening effort by up to two-thirds; one customer reported a 96% reduction and 165 hours saved every month.
GLYDE Unity
GLYDE goes further — specialized AI agents that engage, qualify, and submit candidates 24/7 across voice, SMS, email, and chat, plus Buddy, the recruiter copilot. And it all runs inside Teams, Outlook, and Copilot, so there's no new hub to learn and no swivel between tabs.
Volume, ghosting, and tracking
Hundreds of applicants per role — many recycled across shifts and jobs — so the same candidate appears again and again, and people fall through the cracks.
Sense
Omnichannel agents at scale, but the recruiter hub is navigated job-by-job — so one candidate across multiple shifts/jobs is scattered across multiple lists.
GLYDE Unity
GLYDE Unity is candidate-centric: every application, shift, and conversation for a person sits in one view inside Teams. Agents capture, qualify, and route across every channel — no one waits on hold, no one gets ghosted, and nothing is double-tracked.
Bridges, not silos
Every premium platform wants to become the place you live: their tech, their way, their UI, your data in their cloud.
Sense
Sense is racing to be that unifying platform — but unifying into Sense still means another silo bolted on top of the Microsoft 365 and ATS you already own.
GLYDE Unity
GLYDE Unity builds bridges instead of silos. We unify Microsoft 365 and your ATS as the action layer — your data stays in your tenant, your team stays in their tools, at a fraction of the cost.
Your Team's Tools, Not Another Platform
Recruiters spend 75% of their day in Microsoft. Sense asks them to leave it. GLYDE Unity puts the AI right where they already work.
| Surface | Sense | GLYDE Unity |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Teams | Not a native Teams app. | A full recruiter hub inside Teams — work candidates without leaving. |
| Microsoft Outlook | Not embedded in Outlook. | Recruiters work candidates from the inbox. |
| Microsoft 365 Copilot | No native Copilot agent. | Copilot agent orchestrates the whole stack. |
| Your ATS | Integrates and writes back. | Bullhorn, Avionte, JobDiva, Tracker, Loxo. |
| Career site / web widget | Candidate-facing voice & chat. | Floating, inline, modal, or mobile. |
| Chrome extension | Messaging widgets only. | Full recruiter experience: page-aware on ATS pages, smart-caches records, candidate context and actions. |
| No separate hub to live in | Standalone platform to adopt. | Lives where your team already works. |
Feature for Feature — Then Further.
Every headline capability is live in GLYDE Unity today — plus more agents, a stronger voice agent, and Buddy the recruiter copilot, across every major ATS, inside Microsoft 365, for a fraction of the cost.
| Capability | Sense | GLYDE Unity |
|---|---|---|
| AI voice screening / interviewer Goes further: sub-300ms latency, natural interruption handling, voice and text in one conversation, and dynamic questions generated live from the job — not a fixed script. Sense: “About a hundred thousand screens every month with strong candidate completion rates.” | Shipped | Shipped |
| Full-lifecycle AI recruiter (source, match, outreach, screen, submit) Conversational AI search across a cross-ATS candidate and job index, omnichannel outreach, screening, and internal submission / pipelining. Sense: “One customer attributed 150 candidates after launching the AI recruiter.” | Shipped | Shipped |
| Inbound AI receptionist (answers calls, matches, routes) GLYDE voice and text agents handle inbound candidate conversations today — discover jobs, match, apply, and screen — on your career site and across channels. Sense: “Something that we're launching soon… if you're running a desk, we're able to field all those calls.” | Roadmap (launching June/July 2026) | Shipped |
| Specialized agents and roles Many purpose-built agent personas and roles — discovery, application, screening, sourcing, recruiter copilot, and more — not a fixed pair of contexts. Sense: “AI receptionist, AI interviewer, and AI recruiter.” | Partial (2 contexts: interviewer + receptionist) | Shipped |
| Recruiter copilot agent (Buddy) Buddy answers questions, drafts outreach, and runs multi-step actions across your ATS and Microsoft 365 from a single chat — in Teams, Outlook, or the web. | None | Shipped |
| Candidate-centric pipeline (vs job-by-job navigation) One candidate, every application, shift, and conversation in a single view — even when the same person recycles across high-volume shift roles. No hunting job-by-job. | None (navigate job-by-job) | Shipped |
| Candidate matching (existing database + applicants) Proactive match-to-job from your whole talent pool, ranked and screened before a recruiter touches it. | Shipped | Shipped |
| Omnichannel outreach (voice, SMS, email, chat, WhatsApp) Meet candidates where they are — plus native Microsoft Teams and Outlook for your recruiters. | Shipped | Shipped |
| No-code automation and workflows GLYDE's foundation from day one: Power Automate connector with 100+ actions that span Microsoft 365, your ATS, and every channel — not just one vendor's data. Sense: “Build out your audience… reach out, analyze, flow into the voice flow and evaluation.” | Partial (locked to Sense data) | Shipped |
| Recruiter workspace The recruiter hub is a full Microsoft Teams app — not a separate destination your team has to log into. Where they already work, all day. | Separate hub (navigate job-by-job) | Shipped |
| Recruiter Chrome extension A full recruiter experience on any ATS page — page-aware, smart-caches records, surfaces candidate context and actions — not just a messaging widget. | Partial (messaging only) | Shipped |
| Screening write-back to ATS (notes, fields, score, transcript, recording) Summaries, evaluation scores, strengths and gaps, transcript, and recording written back — surfaced inside Teams, not a separate app. | Shipped | Shipped |
| Native Microsoft 365 (Teams, Outlook, Copilot) Not just convenience — speed. A recruiter working inside Microsoft moves faster than one toggling to a separate platform all day. That's where they already spend 75% of their time. | None | Shipped |
| Open developer platform (MCP, OpenAPI SDK) MCP server, OpenAPI SDK, and Power Automate connector — extend and embed the platform anywhere. | Partial (closed workflow builder) | Shipped |
| Data stays in your Microsoft tenant / bring-your-own-LLM Enterprise security and tenant isolation inherited from Microsoft 365, with bring-your-own-LLM. Your data, your tenant. | None | Shipped |
| Pricing A stronger AI recruiter, interviewer, and voice agent — without the premium-platform bill, and free for 12 months for Bullhorn customers. | Premium (significantly higher) | A fraction of the cost |

More Agents. Stronger Voice. A Fraction of the Cost.
