The record

Product: Yardstick is an applicant tracking system that connects talent pipelines, roles, candidates, interviews, scorecards, and hiring decisions in one workspace.
Structured interviews: AI helps draft role-specific interview plans, questions, rubrics, and scorecards for the hiring team to refine.
Talent CRM: Teams can organize prospects into talent pools and use multi-step outreach sequences that require human approval before sending.
Hosted job site: Yardstick provides a hosted careers page for inbound applications, and public job pages include Google Jobs structured data and XML feeds for several job boards.
Agents: Built-in agents and external agents using the CLI, public API, or MCP server can help with operational hiring work, while sensitive actions require human approval.
AI decisions: AI can suggest application scores or rankings against team-defined job criteria, but Yardstick says it does not automatically reject or screen out candidates without human review.
Integrations: Yardstick lists Google Gemini for product AI and identifies calendar coordination as included; its DPA also describes customer-configured integrations such as calendar, messaging, email, and recruiting or HR systems.
Security: Yardstick says customer data is encrypted in transit with TLS and at rest with AES-256, and database backups run daily.
Compliance: Yardstick states that it does not hold its own SOC 2 or equivalent certification and relies on certified infrastructure providers Supabase and Vercel.
AI data use: Yardstick says customer personal data is not used to train external AI models, and it uses aggregated, de-identified data to improve its services.
Hosting and data region: Yardstick says its services are hosted in the United States, with its primary database on Supabase AWS us-east-2 and application hosting on Vercel iad1.
Support and enterprise: The Enterprise plan lists dedicated support or a shared Slack channel, plus migration and import services.
Pricing limits: The free plan covers the first three Jobs for the lifetime of the account; creating another Job or reopening an archived Job requires upgrading to a paid plan.
Billing: Pricing is monthly with no annual plans, and closed or archived historical Jobs without live hiring activity do not count as open roles.
Price from: $49/mo
