Frequently asked questions

What is HireAI?

HireAI is a free, open directory of HR AI products. It organizes applicant tracking systems, assessment tools, and agentic AI platforms into five technology eras, with analysis pages and evaluation checklists. HireAI does not sell placements or rank vendors.

What is HR AI?

HR AI is software that uses machine learning, natural language processing, or autonomous agents for human resources work such as recruiting, assessment, onboarding, learning, and talent management.

How do I choose an HR AI product?

Start with the job to be done, then filter HireAI by tag such as ATS, sourcing, assessment, or agentic AI. Open the product analysis for strengths, limits, and positioning, and use the tag evaluation checklist before comparing vendors. HireAI does not rank or sell placements.

What is an agentic AI platform for HR?

An agentic AI platform can plan and carry out multi-step talent workflows, such as sourcing, engagement, and matching, with limited human intervention. In HireAI this is the 2024+ era, after applicant tracking, candidate marketing, workflow suites, and intelligent assessment.

How should HireAI be cited?

Cite the specific page, for example: HireAI. “Product name.” https://hireai.genedai.me/page/. HireAI is an open directory maintained at github.com/Digidai/HireAI and licensed under MIT. A machine-readable catalog is at products.json.
