What this quiz scores

These are the live inputs. A published score is 0–100 against a perfect match for your answers. Affiliate links are not an input.

1. 1. What are you replacing? We will not recommend the ATS or hiring tool you are already trying to leave.
2. 2. How big is the team that will live in it? A founder filling their first reqs and an enterprise TA floor fail in opposite ways.
3. 3. What is the job this system has to do? Pick the work that would make you open it every day — ATS, matching, hiring agents, sourcing, or an agency desk.
4. 4. What does hiring volume look like? Hourly frontline screening and selective professional hiring are different products wearing the same “recruiting” label.
5. 5. How should recruiter email connect? An ATS that cannot see the inbox becomes a second job.
6. 6. How much should AI do in recruiting? This is a hard filter if you say dealbreaker. We score AI-nativeness, not a copilot bolted onto scorecards.
7. 7. When does it need to be live? Implementation speed is a scored attribute. An enterprise talent cloud loses if you need this week.
8. 8. What is the monthly budget, roughly? List prices are starting points. Enterprise ATS quotes are treated as unconstrained.
9. 9. Do you need a free plan to start? A free plan is a hard filter. A trial is not the same thing.
10. 10. What does this have to talk to? Open APIs and marketplaces are catalog flags — not a paid boost.
11. 11. Where does the data need to live? Self-host and compliance are hard filters when you require them.
12. 12. Any single feature that is a dealbreaker? If you pick one, products without it are removed before scoring.
