Why people look past Talos360

There is no published price, advanced AI is a paid add-on, and premium boards and background checks are charged on top. It is built around UK job boards and UK compliance, so US employers will find less fit, and the vendor lists no public API.

What we noted

  • No published pricing
  • Advanced AI costs extra
  • UK-centric job boards and compliance

Not the right fit for

  • US-focused employers
  • Recruitment agencies
  • Buyers who want a published price list

Worth keeping in mind: Multiposting carries no posting charges and includes a free aggregated job network, and onboarding handles UK compliance checks such as DBS and right to work. The Tali AI agent shows the evidence behind each candidate score, and the same vendor sells performance management, so hiring data and review data sit together.

Hireserve

Quote-based

Why it comes up: Hireserve is a UK ATS for education, charities and public bodies, licensed by headcount rather than bundled with performance reviews.

Watch out: There is no public price, and year one adds a one-off implementation fee on top of the annual license. Hireserve lists no AI screening or matching and no public API, and it is built around UK sector hiring rather than US employers.

Best for

  • UK universities and colleges
  • Local authorities and public bodies
  • Charities with many hiring managers

HireHive

$119/mo API

Why it comes up: HireHive is a simpler applicant tracker for small hiring teams with a published price from $119/mo.

Stands out: A GDPR-native small-business tracker with self-scheduling, built in Ireland.

Watch out: No MCP, and it is aimed at small in-house teams rather than agencies.

Best for

  • European small businesses
  • Teams that want GDPR-native defaults
  • Small in-house hiring with self-scheduling
