Compare Simplehire with other AI screening tools

We make Simplehire, and these pages compare it with other screening tools that recruiters and staffing agencies look at, one tool per page. Every statement about another company comes from its own website, checked on 19 October 2026 and linked on each page, and where another tool is the better fit, we say so.

How should you compare AI screening tools?

Start with five questions. The answers usually narrow the list to two tools worth piloting.

1. What does the candidate do? Some tools phone the candidate, some send a browser link, and some ask for recorded video. Phone suits hourly roles where candidates apply from a phone. A browser interview can record integrity events such as tab switches. Video lets a client watch the candidate. (AI voice interview vs one-way video compares the formats.)
2. What will it cost at your real volume? Use your monthly screen count for the last three months, including the quiet one. Per-screen pricing follows your volume. A monthly plan costs the same in a slow month, and annual billing commits you for the year.
3. What happens during the interview? Ask which integrity checks are included at your price, whether there is an ID check, and who reviews the flags. For remote roles, read how to spot a proxy interview first.
4. Does it connect to your ATS? If not, someone copies links and results by hand. Ask whether your specific ATS is supported and what syncs back to it.
5. What do you sign? Check for a contract, a minimum term, seat or role limits, and whether you can start without a sales call.
