Instead of Applied
Applied alternatives
Applied brings skills-based recruiting into one platform, combining pre-built assessments, interview creation, hiring-process data, and job-description analysis. Its AI can generate skills, questions, and scoring rubrics, parse CVs, assist with response scoring, and flag text likely to be AI-generated. A DEI metrics dashboard and inclusive recruiting features support fairness goals, while human hiring managers retain final judgment. Applied works through web and API access, offers some free trials, and provides pricing on request. UK security requirements, GDPR, the EU AI Act, and Cyber Essentials Plus are part of its stated security position.

Readers may look elsewhere when they need employee-resource-group administration rather than candidate selection, or when they want named integrations, mobile apps, or community budgeting tools. Applied does not name its integrations, and its security policy describes encryption details in a policy dated June 2018. Compare each alternative’s audience, workflows, analytics, governance controls, integrations, platforms, and support model. Also weigh whether a free trial matters and whether pricing discussions fit your purchasing process.
