Overview
What InsightHire is, how teams use it day-to-day, and the hiring workflow end-to-end.
InsightHire is an applicant tracking and evidence platform. Recruiters open positions, candidates enter through your careers page, integrations, or invites, complete journeys (async video, assessments, documents), and land in a review queue ranked by composite scores. Hiring managers advance strong candidates into structured interviews and offers — with analytics, compliance, and integrations throughout.
