Applied vs Diversio

Applied is a recruiting platform that describes its purpose as reducing bias in hiring. It combines pre-built skills assessments with data across the recruitment process. AI can help teams create skills-based assessments, interviews, questions, and scoring rubrics; the platform can also flag text that may have been generated by AI. Its Job Description Analysis Tool can assess and update job descriptions and create consistent descriptions. The AI policy also describes CV parsing and support with scoring responses. Applied says hiring managers review AI-supported outcomes and make final decisions, and its policy bars decisions made solely through automated AI without meaningful human oversight. The site says it integrates with many products but does not name them there. Some features have free trials, while others are demonstrated through an interactive tour with the team. Pricing is available on request. Applied says it has been acquired by Phenom and invites prospective customers to book a demo or contact the team. Its homepage states compliance with UK data security requirements, including GDPR and the EU AI Act, and cites Cyber Essentials Plus certification.

Diversio is a web-based workplace culture platform combining people analytics, training, and consulting for organizations.
