Use cases
Resume screening use cases, by hiring need
The fastest way to clear a screening backlog is to stop reading the inbound pile by hand. Prescreener parses every resume, applies your knockout and eligibility criteria, asks the screening questions you set, scores role-fit against consistent criteria, and hands recruiters a ranked pile with a transparent reason on every candidate. Prescreener never auto-rejects, it ranks and flags candidates for your team to review and decide. Pick the hiring need you have, or the role you fill, and see exactly how Prescreener screens faster and fairer.

Screening
Screen the inbound pile at scale, not one resume at a time. Prescreener parses every application, applies your knockout criteria, asks the screening questions you set, scores role-fit against consistent criteria, and hands recruiters a ranked pile to review and decide.

Learn morePricing guides
What the major applicant tracking and screening systems actually cost in the United States, checked against each vendor's own pricing page rather than repeated from comparison articles, with the plan that screens resumes marked on every one.
Criteria Corp pricing
Criteria Corp publishes three plans and no price. Its terms of use say how the price is built: tests used, positions, hiring and your employee count, with extra fees if testing runs past your tier.
Learn moreRecruit CRM pricing
Recruit CRM publishes no rate on any of its three plans, but it does publish the number that decides whether the entry plan is usable: AI Candidate Matching is capped at 2 matches on Pro against 50 on Business and Enterprise.
Learn moreCrelate pricing
Crelate publishes two rates on its pricing page and marks the top two tiers Custom. Its own structured data puts a floor under both: $149 and $299 per user. The contract adds an automatic renewal increase most buyers never see before signing.
Learn moreRecruiterflow pricing
Recruiterflow publishes one rate and hides the cheaper one in JavaScript. The card says $149 per user; the annual price is $119, and it is not in the served HTML at all. Here is what each plan costs, and why the plan with the matching agent has no price.
Learn moreLoxo pricing
Loxo publishes two of its three rates. Almost every article about Loxo pricing quotes a third number that is not on the page any more. Here is what Loxo states today, where the stale figure comes from, and the one credit question the pricing page does not answer.
Learn moreCeipal pricing
Ceipal used to have a pricing page. It does not any more: the URL now redirects to the homepage. Here is what the company still states, what its own directory listing says, and why the per-user figures circulating elsewhere disagree with each other by a factor of two.
Learn moreSpark Hire pricing
Spark Hire publishes real rates, which already puts it ahead of most of this category. The figures need one correction and one warning: the headline rate is a 50-employee rate, and the AI resume review that sells the plan is capped by the year.
Learn moreLever pricing
Lever publishes no rate at all, so the useful question is what buyers actually pay and what the quote covers. Here is the contract data, the one plan Lever now sells, and the AI screening distinction almost every article gets wrong.
Learn moreManatal pricing
Manatal is one of the few applicant tracking systems that publishes a rate and puts AI candidate scoring on its cheapest paid plan. Here is every figure, in US dollars, with the caps that decide whether the entry tier fits you.
Learn moreZoho Recruit pricing
Zoho Recruit publishes two separate price lists, two sets of job caps, and an add-on sheet that never appears on the pricing page. All of it, in US dollars, with the tier that actually screens candidates marked.
Learn moreAshby pricing
Ashby publishes more of its price than almost any competitor, and more than most articles about it admit. The full Foundations band table, the AI credit arithmetic, and what sits outside the subscription.
Learn moreTestGorilla pricing
TestGorilla publishes three prices and hides the number that matters: how many candidates the plan actually covers. What each plan costs, what one assessed candidate costs, and where TestGorilla's own documents disagree with each other.
Learn moreJobvite pricing
Jobvite runs a pricing page with no prices on it, and no plan names either. What Jobvite ATS costs, the one directory rate that contradicts the vendor, and the questions that get you a real number.
Learn moreGreenhouse pricing
Greenhouse publishes three plan names and no rates. What the ATS actually costs, what verified buyer data shows, and why the estimate articles disagree with each other by thousands of dollars.
Learn moreATS pricing comparison
Twenty two applicant tracking systems, the rates they actually publish, and the eleven that will not give you a number without a sales call.
