Feature Scope
AI-native ATS and assistant: role scoping and criteria definition; explainable, auditable AI-backed candidate evaluation that maps candidates to user-defined qualifiers (experience, skills, must-haves) without automatic rejections; traceable summaries showing why a candidate scored as they did. Interview assistance: integrated meeting capture/notetaker (or import transcripts/notes), collaborative evaluation mapped to shared criteria, before-and-after interview context, follow-up prompts, and multi-interviewer alignment. Screening and shortlisting: CV parsing, LinkedIn enrichment, dynamic role-specific scorecards, smart ranking/shortlist recommendations, personalized candidate outreach. Talent search: resurface candidates from your pool based on updated criteria. Referrals and campaigns: network engagement and referral campaigns to drive quality applicants. Agency capabilities: multi-client/brand workflows, reuse job listings across clients, transparency into AI usage. Integrations: Slack x Vouch integration announced. Admin and controls: toggle AI off per workspace/role (Vouch continues to function as a powerful non‑AI ATS), usage metered via credits. Security/compliance posture (as communicated): works on structured, permissioned hiring data; EU-hosted; designed to respect GDPR and EU AI Act; explainable, non-black-box recommendations; avoids leaking candidate data into third-party systems.
