SmartHire is the AI-powered ATS built for people who hire for a living — recruiters, staffing agencies, and high-volume in-house teams. It sources passive candidates automatically, scores every résumé, flags fraud, and runs automated video or text interviews — so your hours go to closing, not reading cover letters.
Built for recruiters, staffing agencies, and in-house teams hiring at volume. SmartHire runs the full pipeline, from sourcing the first candidate to a signed offer.
Every résumé gets an instant 0–100 score on skills match, experience depth, and job-fit. Sort and shortlist in seconds — with customizable weights per role.
Choose video or text per job. SmartHire asks role-specific questions, adapts follow-ups in real time, and hands you a full transcript, a summary, and a 0–100 score — no scheduling required. See it in action ↓
A drag-and-drop Kanban board tracks every candidate from applied to placed. See exactly where each one stands, on any device.
AI flags duplicate identities, fabricated credentials, mismatched history, and fake profiles — before they cost your client a mis-hire.
Set score thresholds and SmartHire invites qualifying candidates to the next stage automatically. Your pipeline self-advances, day and night.
Launch a branded, mobile-optimized career page in minutes. No developer, no hosting — candidates land straight into your pipeline.
Describe the role and SmartHire searches millions of professional profiles, scores the fit against your ICP, and sends an invite-to-apply link — a full pipeline before you touch a search bar. Metered add-on.
SmartHire compares every claimed role, employer, and degree against verified work-history data and flags contradictions or inflated experience — with a per-claim, explainable score your client can trust. Metered add-on.
Candidates interview on their own time, no scheduling back-and-forth. You pick the format per job — on-camera video or text chat — and SmartHire asks role-specific questions, adapts follow-ups to what the candidate just said, then hands you a transcript, a summary, and a score.
Whether you run lean solo or lead a growing agency, there's a plan that scales with you. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial — a card is required to start, and you won't be charged until day 8. Cancel anytime before then and you pay nothing.
For independent recruiters running 1–3 active jobs at a time.
For small agencies placing 5–15 candidates a month across clients.
For high-volume agencies needing white-labeling and dedicated support.
Enterprise ATS tools are built for large HR teams. SmartHire is built for recruiters who work lean and need results fast.

Yes. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, and a card is required to activate it — you get full access to your plan's features from day one. You won't be charged until the trial ends on day 8, and you can cancel anytime before then at no cost. There's no separate free-forever tier; Solo, Agency, and Pro are all paid subscriptions with the trial built in.
Both. SmartHire was built recruiter-first — for independent/solo recruiters and staffing or search agencies placing candidates across multiple clients or roles — and that's still where it's strongest. In-house hiring teams use it too, especially for high-volume or hard-to-fill roles. If your team needs enterprise features like SSO, HRIS sync, or multi-stage internal approvals, talk to us — we're actively building out that side of the platform.
The fraud engine cross-references résumés against employment-verification signals, checks for inconsistencies in job-title timelines, flags duplicate identity patterns across applications, and scans for AI-generated fake work histories. You get a clear red-flag report for every suspicious candidate — before you waste time interviewing.
Fraud detection screens for identity and pattern red flags. Résumé verification goes one step further, on demand: with one click, SmartHire checks every claimed role, employer, and degree on a candidate's résumé against verified work-history data and returns a per-claim score — verified, contradicted, or unverifiable — so you can see exactly which claims hold up before you present the candidate to a client. It's billed from the same metered add-on as candidate sourcing.
You own your data, full stop. If you cancel, you have 30 days to export all candidate records, interview transcripts, and pipeline data in standard CSV and PDF formats. After 30 days it is permanently deleted from our servers per our retention policy.
Yes — on the Agency and Pro plans you can share a read-only client portal link showing shortlisted candidates, their AI scores, interview summaries, and pipeline status. No login required on their end, and it looks like your branded service, not a third-party tool.
Most recruiters are live within a minute. There are no setup fees to start — create an account, customize your branding, and post your first job right away.
Let SmartHire handle the sourcing, the résumé flood, the fraud risk, and the interview scheduling. You focus on the part that actually pays.
