Bottom line
Applicant tracking for small and mid-size employers built around a patented predictive assessment: candidates are benchmarked against the traits of your top performers and ranked by AI, alongside job posting, scorecards and self-scheduling. Plans run from $149/mo for 5 active jobs to $469/mo for unlimited, so it suits SMBs that want screening science without an enterprise contract.
Stands out for: The Candidate Fit benchmarks, which profile your best current employees and score applicants against them, are the point of difference, and they can be bought on their own without posting a job. Growth adds unlimited users, AI ranking and nurture campaigns for $229/mo, and every plan starts with a 14-day trial and no card.
Watch out for: Benchmarks are basic on Growth and advanced only on Scale, and one-way video and texting also wait until the $469/mo Scale plan. It has only 12 Capterra reviews at 4.7, and one reviewer said it was hard to see which boards jobs had been posted to.
