24 tools tracked Β· 14 active Β· 10 dead or at risk Β· Updated September 23, 2026

Recruiting AI covers sourcing candidates, screening applications, taking interview notes and predicting fit. It is also one of the most acquired categories we track: Paradox, HiredScore, Pymetrics, Mya, Ideal and XOR were all bought by larger HR platforms.

Acquisition doesn't always mean shutdown, but it usually means pricing and product changes. Check status before you build your hiring process around one tool, and keep an eye on local rules for automated hiring decisions.
