The short answer

  • Tengai : Also Swedish and built for the EU AI Act, but focused only on AI avatar screening interviews scored on a Big Five framework. From Quote-based
  • Sniper AI : Enterprise AI sourcing, CV parsing and ranking that sits on Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle or Bullhorn, with a UK rather than Nordic base. From Quote-based
  • Eightfold : Talent intelligence across hiring and internal mobility at large enterprise scale, with a public API and a much larger US customer base. From Sales-quoted

Why people look past Talendary

No prices are published for any plan, and the site sells pilots with consultants rather than self-serve sign-up. Its customers, data tools and job market content are centred on Sweden, so US coverage is unproven, and there are no outside reviews yet.

What we noted

  • No published prices on any plan
  • Customer base and data centred on Sweden
  • No outside reviews yet

Not the right fit for

  • Small US teams that want a self-serve tool with a published price
  • Recruiters who only need a sourcing extension

Worth keeping in mind: Compliance is part of the product: every score carries a reason, there is bias testing per role and protected group, and an immutable log of every score, override and criterion change is kept for seven years and can be exported to a SIEM. It also offers its own MCP server and REST API, and runs voice interviews in 28 languages.

What each one does differently

Tengai

Quote-based

Why it comes up: Also Swedish and built for the EU AI Act, but focused only on AI avatar screening interviews scored on a Big Five framework.

Stands out: AI is used only for the conversation: Tengai says no AI scores or decides, and candidates are ranked mechanically against your requirements. Its interview framework was validated by Psychometrics Sweden AB, and the avatar uses no facial recognition. Candidates get personal feedback and can reuse their interview for other applications for 1 year.

Watch out: The avatar speaks English and Swedish, and the 4.0 translation covers only Swedish, English, Norwegian and Danish, so it is built for the Nordic market. Named ATS partners are Nordic systems (Teamtailor, Jobylon, Varbi, Zerolime, Talenttech), so US teams will likely need a custom API integration. Pricing is not published.

Best for

  • Nordic employers hiring in Swedish, Norwegian, Danish or English
  • Public-sector and regulated employers that need traceable, explainable rankings
  • High-volume roles in retail, logistics or customer service that currently rely on phone screens

Sniper AI

Quote-based

Why it comes up: Enterprise AI sourcing, CV parsing and ranking that sits on Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle or Bullhorn, with a UK rather than Nordic base.

Stands out: The match scores are explainable: recruiters see exactly which skills and experience drove each percentage and can change the weights, which helps when hiring managers question a shortlist. It is built for very high volumes and is ISO 27001, SOC and GDPR certified, which large employers need before AI touches candidate data.

Watch out: No prices are published and it is aimed at enterprises, so small agencies are unlikely to be a fit. Most named customers and the Arabic-language push are in the UK, Middle East and Asia, so US references may be thinner.

Best for

  • Large employers screening thousands of applications per role
  • Teams on Workday, SAP SuccessFactors or Oracle
  • Talent teams that want to reuse past applicants before sourcing

Eightfold

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: Talent intelligence across hiring and internal mobility at large enterprise scale, with a public API and a much larger US customer base.

Stands out: Skills-graph matching plus internal mobility, rather than another application inbox.

Watch out: No published price, no MCP, and it usually sits on top of an existing ATS rather than replacing it.

Best for

  • Enterprises that want internal mobility alongside external search
  • Talent teams buying a skills graph
  • Large employers comparing talent intelligence platforms
