hireEZ

One assistant from search to booking, with data questions to settle first

hireEZ’s headline figures, and what to ask about each

70 or more Fortune 500 teams use the platform. EZ Agent delivers 80% more qualified candidates. Applicant Review cuts manual review by 80% and screens CVs 70% faster. These are hireEZ’s own figures.

Ask what the 80% more qualified candidates is compared with. Ask whether the figures come from the new platform.

It works with the big tracking systems and gives a reason for every name

It works for a lone recruiter, staffing firms and employers cutting search spend

It holds data on people who have not applied, and the AI learns from use

New York City has a law on hiring software, called Local Law 144. If you hire in New York City, it covers tools that substantially help assess or screen candidates. You need a bias audit of the tool from the past year and you must publish a summary. You must also tell candidates about the tool ten business days ahead, and they can ask for another process. The city defines a candidate as a person who applied. It says scanning a CV database or sending outreach falls outside the law. Applicant Review and the phone screen work on people who applied, so the law can apply to them. The duty falls on the employer or recruiting agency, not on hireEZ.

Solo recruiters pay from $494 a month, and teams get a quote

Solo recruiters pay from $494 a month. That plan comes with a seven-day free trial.

Teams do not get a flat price for each user. hireEZ used to list one, and the list price stopped matching what the product does. It sets the enterprise price against the tools a customer replaces. A four-week check with the customer’s team then confirms the price before signing.

Two US federal orders show what public buyers paid. In 2022 an order described as HIREEZ professional recruiting support came to $41,600. In 2023 the Department of the Navy signed a fixed-price order described as HIREEZ for $95,550.

A customer can ask hireEZ to remove its data. If the customer does not ask, hireEZ keeps the stored data for three years and then destroys it.

Eight questions for the demo

1. Which steps can EZ Agent take without a person starting them, and who on our team can change those settings? Good answer: A written list by step, one named admin who can change it, and a log of every change.
2. Will you use our chats, interview data and hiring outcomes to train your AI? Which AI provider and storage country apply on the platform that opened in August 2026? Good answer: A written no for our account, or a clear opt-out. Also a current security document.
3. Can we have the full bias audit for the applicant ranking and the phone screen? Good answer: The full report, with figures for roles like ours. We can publish it if New York City rules apply to us.
4. Where do the profiles of people who have not applied come from, and how does a person get removed? Good answer: Named data providers, and a removal request that also reaches the copies in our own system.
5. What will we pay, and which actions cost extra, such as finding contact details or exporting profiles? Good answer: A written quote that lists users, features, any extra charges and the renewal terms.
6. Which of our systems can EZ Agent write scores and statuses into? Good answer: A named list of systems, and what appears on the candidate’s record in each.
7. What does a candidate get if they ask for something other than an AI phone screen? Good answer: A named route to a person, which does not count against the candidate.
8. When the contract ends, how do we get our data out, and when is it deleted? Good answer: A stated file format and a deletion date written into the contract.

Alternatives to hireEZ

If hireEZ comes off your shortlist, look at SeekOut, Gem, LinkedIn Recruiter and Juicebox, or buy nothing.

SeekOut does a similar job. It searches about a billion profiles and a customer’s tracking system. Applicant scoring and AI screening cost extra on its Team and Enterprise plans. They come included at the top tier. Its entry plan, Sourcing Core, is for small businesses and solo recruiters. It costs $149 a month paid yearly or $179 billed monthly, with a 14-day free trial. Other plans are quoted. In March 2026 SeekOut priced its AI screening, called Sam, at about $2 per completed interview.

Gem has an AI sourcing assistant that searches more than 800 million profiles. Its AI application review scores and ranks every applicant against your criteria. Gem also sells its own tracking system. It prices by the number of employees you have. Companies under 30 employees get its all-in-one product free for six months.

Hiring Assistant is an AI assistant inside LinkedIn Recruiter, sold as an add-on to a Recruiter contract. It comes in three tiers with monthly limits. For corporate customers, Tier 1 allows 200 sourced candidates and 3,500 evaluated applicants a month.

Juicebox lets you search in ordinary words. It has a free plan. Its AI assistants cost $199 each a month as an add-on.

Buying nothing is a real choice. Count the roles you fill in a year and how many are hard to fill. Compare that with $494 a month, the published solo price. Our market guide sets out the jobs this software does, so you can decide which of them you need.
