What Binary is
Binary is a freemium applicant tracking system for creating hiring forms, screening candidates, and managing a hiring pipeline. Teams can collect applications with forms containing video questions and widgets, post jobs to job boards, maintain a careers page, and source candidates through a Chrome extension. AI reviews grade applicants Yes, No, or Maybe against set criteria; deep reviews also pull LinkedIn profiles. An in-app assistant can search hiring data, screen candidates, draft emails, build forms, and move applicants through stages. The extension adds candidates from LinkedIn, Gmail, and X profiles and works on every plan without a candidate limit. Integrations listed by Binary include Slack, Google Calendar, Google Drive, LinkedIn, and AI assistants through MCP. Plans include Free, Starter at $49 a month, Business at $149 a month, Pro at $299 a month, and a Custom option with no listed price. Free and Starter each allow five interview schedules monthly, while assignments are capped at 100 and 1,000 respectively. Binary says it encrypts data, restricts access by permissions, stores primary data in Mumbai, and leaves final hiring decisions to people.
