Equip vs Scorebar AI

Equip is a hiring platform that combines applicant tracking, CV screening, skills assessments and AI interviews from application through offer. Its ATS handles job posts, interview scheduling, offers, a careers page and pipeline management. Recruiters set job criteria for CV parsing and applicant ranking, which Equip says does not use credits. Assessment options include quizzes, programming, communication, psychometric, SQL, Excel, CSS, typing and custom tests. Candidates can submit one-way video, audio or text responses, or take part in a conversational interview with an AI bot. Assessments and interviews can be created without a stated quantity limit, with charges applying per candidate who takes them. AI proctoring monitors camera, microphone and screen during assessments on every plan. REST APIs support candidate invitations, results retrieval and pipeline management from a customer’s own ATS or internal system. Equip says its AI supports recruiters rather than making hiring decisions autonomously. A free ATS plan is available; paid plans start at $30 a month. New teams can try it for 30 days with 10 free credits and no card.

Scorebar AI runs structured hiring interviews in voice, video, and text, then scores candidates across Technical, Soft Skills, Cultural Fit, Experience, and Personality. HR can invite candidates by private code or shared URL, review responses, and email a selection decision to a cohort. The service says interviews are transcribed with Whisper and assessed by an LLM against a five-section rubric; each score cites transcript evidence for auditing. Teams can supply role-specific questions. The HR workspace includes cohort filters, status tags, searchable and exportable records, and a candidate-level audit trail. Browser-recorded HD video is split into a clip for each question. Scorebar describes candidate responses as encrypted end-to-end and labels the service “GDPR & SOC2 ready.” HR retains the final hiring decision. The web-based service requires manual employer onboarding limited to approved teams. The Free plan costs nothing and is a 30-day trial with five interviews and one team member. Starter costs $29.99 a month, and Professional costs $149.99 a month; each adds interview capacity and features.
