In their own words
Cadence
Cadence is a web-based interview scheduling tool for small recruiting teams. Candidates use a private link to book, reschedule, or cancel interviews against live interviewer availability in Google Calendar or Microsoft 365, without creating an account. Private status pages show the candidate’s current stage, next step, and expected date. The service sends interview reminders that request confirmation and alerts recruiters when candidates do not reply. It connects to Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, Greenhouse, and Lever, with CSV imports available for teams without an ATS. Candidate emails are checked against recorded contact permission, and interviewers can submit structured or free-text scorecards through private links. Cadence says candidate data and integration credentials are encrypted at rest, access is role-scoped, and retention is automated. One-click erasure covers candidate records, unsent email, calendar artifacts, and synced ATS copies, while keeping an audit entry without personal data.
Sense
Sense is recruiting automation software for talent acquisition and staffing teams. Its AI Recruiter uses specialized agents for sourcing, candidate engagement, screening, and scheduling across the hiring lifecycle. Teams can communicate with candidates by SMS, WhatsApp, email, chat, and voice, and arrange interviews with calendar integrations, reminders, and in-person, virtual, panel, or sequential formats. Sense says it integrates with customers’ ATS and describes a bi-directional integration; named connections include Workday, Greenhouse, Oracle, iCIMS, and others. The platform is available on the web, Android, and iOS, through an API, and as an extension. Sense says dashboard and API traffic use TLS encryption and stored data uses AES-256; it also describes annual security assessments and configurable multi-factor authentication.
