Questions we hear before a demo

What InsightHire actually does, what it doesn't, and where the AI stops.

What is InsightHire?

InsightHire is an applicant tracking system (ATS) for growing hiring teams — requisitions, pipeline, interviews, offers, and onboarding in one product. What sets it apart is what happens before you ever schedule a live interview: AI-powered sourcing to find candidates who haven't applied yet, and a composite scoring engine that ranks every candidate on resume, video response, assessment, and culture fit.

How is InsightHire different from other ATS platforms?

Most ATS platforms track candidates who already applied and leave sourcing and screening to separate tools. InsightHire builds both in: describe who you’re looking for and it searches the web and public registries for matches, and every candidate — sourced or applied — gets ranked on real evidence before a recruiter schedules an interview.

Can InsightHire find candidates who haven't applied to a job yet?

Yes. InsightHire's sourcing searches the web and public registries for candidates matching a role you describe in plain language — no job posting required. Matches land in a reviewable queue for a recruiter to evaluate, not an automated outreach blast.

How does candidate scoring and ranking work?

Every candidate gets a composite score combining their resume, a structured video response, a skills assessment, and a culture-fit signal into one ranked order. Recruiters see the evidence behind each score, not just a number.

Does AI ever make the final hiring decision?

No. AI scores candidates against criteria a recruiter defines — it assists the decision, it doesn't make it. A human always reviews the pipeline and moves candidates forward.

Can AI conduct interviews or phone screens?

Some organizations enable AI to run a first-round video interview directly. Candidates see a disclosure notice before it starts and can request a human-led process instead. AI-conducted phone screening is also available.

Does InsightHire replace our existing ATS, or work alongside it?

InsightHire is a full applicant tracking system on its own — requisitions, pipeline, offers, and onboarding — so most teams replace their existing ATS rather than run both. If you're migrating, InsightHire imports your existing jobs and candidates.

What integrations does InsightHire support?

InsightHire imports jobs and candidates from your prior ATS, ingests applications from major job boards, and integrates with Microsoft 365 for interview scheduling.

How much does InsightHire cost?

Pricing depends on team size and which capabilities you need — see our pricing page for current plans, or talk to us for a quote based on your hiring volume.
