An applicant tracking and recruiting platform for teams formalizing sourcing, interviews, and hiring decisions. The relevant choice is the depth of process control, rather than a public per-recruiter price.

Checked Oct 15, 2026 · 6 official sources · Desk research
A GOOD FIT WHEN

Growing recruiting teams that want repeatable interviews, a candidate CRM, and tiered governance.

  • Structured interview kits and scorecards
  • Sourcing CRM alongside candidate pipelines
  • A clear upgrade path for reporting and governance
LOOK MORE CLOSELY WHEN

You need a published fixed-price checkout or mainly need employee administration after hiring.

  • Pricing requires a hiring-specific quote
  • Sourcing automation and BI connector require Plus or higher
  • Audit logs and developer sandbox require Pro
