Autessa Recruit as an alternative to Greenhouse
Greenhouse built its name on structured hiring, and it now adds Talent Matching, fraud checks and an open beta MCP. Autessa Recruit shares that belief in fair, structured interviews and shows its work: every AI score quotes the evidence, stays advisory and never reaches an interviewer.

Where Autessa wins
Why teams choose Autessa Recruit over Greenhouse
AI that shows its work
Every score lists each requirement with the quoted evidence, stays advisory, and a report compares AI scores with who you actually hired.
recruiting@ runs itself
Mail to your shared address is sorted by category and priority, matched to the candidate, and answered from the shared address.
Past beta, across the whole ATS
Greenhouse’s MCP is in open beta. The Autessa MCP gives Claude full headless access to Recruit, so an agent can review a pipeline, check who owes a scorecard or draft a candidate email.
Change the ATS, not the way you hire
