Screening in progress
What we do, and what other tools do
We compare product families without claiming to do everything, and state clearly when another category is better suited.
Mandate open
Start with the work that needs to be done
A tool family can excel at tracking, sourcing or filtering without producing the same deliverable.
| Criterion | General ATS | Sourcing | Screening | BRAIN HR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | Track applications, stages and exchanges | Identify and approach new profiles | Filter or order a volume of profiles | Connect mandate, evidence and client dossier |
| Decision source | Pipeline data and team notes | Search data and public profiles | Rules or models specific to the tool | Mandate criteria and located extracts |
| Natural deliverable | Managed pipeline | List of profiles to contact | Review order or preselection | Relevant profiles and an evidence-backed dossier |
| Best suited when… | You first need to structure recruitment operations | Your talent pool does not contain the target profiles | Your priority is an initial review order | You must explain every submitted profile |
Dossier delivered
BRAIN HR does not necessarily replace your ATS
It sits between the mandate, consulted sources and the dossier the recruiter must review and defend.
An ATS remains appropriate for administrative pipeline management. A sourcing tool remains appropriate for finding new profiles.
