ATS plus talent CRM that still lands on most mid-market shortlists. Quote-based, with no MCP.

Where they pull apart

Lever

Stands out: A talent CRM beside the jobs, with nurture and employee referrals in the hiring flow.

Watch out: No published price, no MCP, and the market's attention has moved toward Ashby and Greenhouse.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need MCP today
  • Agencies that need a staffing CRM

Pereless Systems

Stands out: After the e-signature offer, new hires get a packet for I-9, W-4, direct deposit and policy acknowledgments, then the record hands off to HRIS or payroll. A REST API, webhooks and SAML single sign-on cover custom work, and it is rated 4.8 on Capterra across 10 reviews.

Watch out: There is no public price or plan list, so budgeting starts with a call to sales@pereless.com or 1-866-222-5169. Partners include Checkr, Spark Hire, ADP, Workday and Wonderlic, but the vendor names no AI matching or AI screening feature.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who want a public price list
  • Teams shopping for AI screening or matching
  • Buyers who will not sit through a demo
