Tested hands-on and ranked by real-world ROI.
The most sophisticated talent AI platform available. Uses deep learning to understand skills — not just keywords — to match candidates to roles, identify internal mobility, and predict attrition.
Ashby combines a modern ATS with powerful recruiting analytics and AI features. Especially popular with high-growth tech companies that need pipeline visibility and recruiter efficiency data.
Leapsome combines performance management, engagement surveys, learning, and compensation into one platform with AI that surfaces insights across the entire employee lifecycle.
AI can both reduce and amplify bias depending on how it's implemented. Tools trained on historical hiring data can perpetuate past biases. Leading platforms like Eightfold use bias-audited models and skills-based matching rather than demographic signals. Always request bias audit data and use diverse training data.
Legality varies by jurisdiction. The EU AI Act classifies AI hiring tools as high-risk and requires human oversight. Several US states (Illinois, New York) have specific laws governing AI in hiring. Always consult legal counsel and ensure your AI vendor provides transparency and audit trails.
AI helps retention in several ways: identifying at-risk employees before they resign (predictive attrition modeling), surfacing internal mobility opportunities, personalizing career development paths, and enabling more meaningful performance conversations. Companies using Eightfold's talent intelligence report 20–30% reduction in voluntary attrition.
ROI typically comes from three areas: reduced time-to-hire (fewer days a role is unfilled = more productivity), lower cost-per-hire (less recruiter time and agency fees), and improved quality-of-hire (AI screening correlates better with on-the-job performance than resume screening). Companies report 30–50% improvements across all three metrics.
