Braintrust
Stands out: Braintrust publishes its 15% client fee, which is rare among vetted talent networks. The same company sells AIR, an AI voice interviewer that runs thousands of screens a day and syncs ranked results to Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, iCIMS and SmartRecruiters.
Watch out: The site now spans three products, including Nexus for operations automation, so the marketplace can be hard to find. The 15% fee also applies to direct hires and conversions within six months, and EOR services cost extra.
Not the right fit for
- Buyers wanting a free trial period
- Teams avoiding AI-led screening
- Local on-site hourly hiring
Hoonr
Stands out: Hoonr manages employees, contractors, freelancers and AI agents in one skills-first program, and embeds Independently's contractor classification checks for 60+ countries before an engagement starts, instead of leaving compliance to a separate tool.
Watch out: It launched in April 2026, so the track record is short, and it is a division of Pyramid Consulting rather than a standalone software vendor. The site publishes no prices and no integrations list; everything starts with a demo.
Not the right fit for
- Small teams that want a self-serve ATS with published pricing
- Buyers who want to check integrations before a sales call
