hireEZ alternative for ranking the resumes you already receive

hireEZ is an outbound sourcing platform. Its agentic AI searches 800 million external profiles across LinkedIn and 45-plus other sources, then drafts and sequences outreach to passive candidates who are not applying to you. If your problem is an empty pipeline for hard-to-fill technical roles, that is exactly the job hireEZ does, and it does it on top of your ATS. hireEZ publishes no public pricing; it is a per-seat, quote-only annual contract, so you talk to sales before you see a number.

Screen the pile to watch Prescreener parse every resume, apply your criteria and knockouts, and rank the inbound applicants with a transparent reason on each.

AI assists · you decide · bias-audited (EEOC / NYC Local Law 144)

hireEZ is outbound sourcing that finds passive candidates. Prescreener is inbound screening that ranks the applicants you already have, with transparent reasons, published pricing, and a human in the loop.

Most teams looking at hireEZ alternatives have the opposite problem: too many inbound applicants, not too few. A single job posting can pull 250-plus resumes, and no amount of sourcing helps when the bottleneck is reading the pile that already landed. Prescreener is built for that side of the funnel. It reads every inbound resume, applies your knockout and eligibility criteria, asks short screening questions, scores role-fit, and ranks the pile with a transparent reason on each candidate, so recruiters review the strongest matches first. It runs alongside the ATS you already use, publishes its pricing openly, discloses AI use to candidates, is bias-audited to support EEOC standards and NYC Local Law 144, and ranks and flags for a recruiter rather than auto-rejecting anyone.
