What each one does differently

Eploy

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: UK in-house talent suite for the same public-sector buyer.

Stands out: UK public-sector hiring workflows rather than US-shaped defaults.

Best for

  • UK public-sector talent teams
  • UK enterprise in-house teams
  • Buyers that need UK-specific hiring workflows

Pinpoint

Sales-quoted MCP API

Why it comes up: UK and EU in-house ATS with MCP if an agent connector matters.

Stands out: A hosted MCP plus a GDPR-oriented posture built for European hiring.

Watch out: No published price, and the name is easily confused with Pin.

Best for

  • UK and EU in-house talent teams
  • Teams that need a branded career site
  • Desks connecting an agent via MCP

PageUp

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: Enterprise talent suite if the employer is large and not UK-only.

Stands out: Enterprise hiring across Asia-Pacific, where the US platforms are weaker.

Best for

  • Large Asia-Pacific employers
  • Universities in the region
  • Enterprise talent programmes

3.8 on Capterra from 10 reviews

SmartRecruiters

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: Global enterprise suite if the process is not public-sector shaped.

Stands out: A marketplace of job boards plus CRM inside one enterprise suite.

Watch out: No published price, and SAP now owns the company, so licensing may shift.

Best for

  • Global in-house talent teams
  • Teams that buy job-board marketplace access with the ATS
  • Enterprises running hiring programmes across countries
