Decisive Architectural Advantages
The End of the Per-Seat Tax
Greenhouse charges massive per-user fees. Aeion Recruit doesn't — pick a tier (Starter or Pro), not a per-recruiter plan, and every tier is unlimited users. Invite your entire engineering org to leave interview scorecards without your bill increasing. Collaboration without penalty.
5-Vector AI Bias Detection
No other ATS has this. Explicitly audits Name (ethnic/gender), Location (socioeconomic), Education Prestige, Career Gap (parental leave/military/caregiving), and Age bias. Severity ratings + actionable guidance notes. Greenhouse has nothing comparable.
Async Video Interviews Included
Stop paying $3,000+/year for HireVue. Handles: template creation, secure candidate recording, automatic transcription, and sentiment scoring. Retake support. Expiry tracking.
Zero-Latency HR Conversion
In Greenhouse, "Hired" → manual data entry or fragile Zapier webhook → HR system. In Aeion, clicking "Hired" creates the employee record instantly through a native handshake between Recruit and HR. No data entry, no API failures, no latency.
4 Major Job Boards, One Click
Posts to LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, and ZipRecruiter via per-board API adapters — connect your partner API keys to go live (clearly-flagged test mode until configured, never silent fake posts). Cross-posting deduplication. Board-specific formatting. Per-board posting/analytics tracking. More boards on the roadmap behind the same adapter seam.
Efficient, Secure Video Storage
Video interviews are stored securely with presigned upload/playback links and no server proxy in the path — keeping storage costs (and your bill) down compared to legacy S3-based competitors.
GDPR Auto-Purge
Runs weekly CRON. 2-year retention enforced. Right-to-be-forgotten with hard delete + data export before purging. Anonymous funnel analytics preserved. Greenhouse requires manual configuration.
Native Background Checks
Integrates Checkr, Sterling, GoodHire natively. Initiate from candidate profile. Track status. Store results. FCRA-compliant. Greenhouse requires third-party integrations with sync issues.
50+ Email Variable Substitutions
Handles complex multi-context emails: candidate, job, interview, company, application, offer, system variables. Stage-based automation. Interview reminders. Offer expiration alerts.
Analytics Dashboard
Provides: time-to-fill, funnel conversion rates, source ROI (cost per hire), top sources by conversion, historical snapshots. Greenhouse analytics require expensive add-ons.
AI Candidate Matching
Scores skill match, experience match, culture fit. 5 recommendation tiers from "strong_match" (85+) to "no_match" (0-24). Reasoning explanation for every score.
Offer Generator with Equity
Generates HTML letters with: salary, bonus (signing/performance/annual), equity (shares, vesting, strike price), benefits, remote policy, PTO. E-signature integration with Aeion Sign when available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Runs specialized prompts for each vector: Name (ethnic/gender patterns in name strings), Location (socioeconomic signals in zip codes), Education (prestige comparison vs. equivalent non-prestige), Career Gap (parental leave, military, caregiving detection), and Age (graduation year → current year calculation). Each flag includes severity (low/medium/high) and an actionable guidance note: "Focus on qualifications, not name." High-severity flags trigger ethics review workflows.
When you mark a candidate as hired, Aeion Recruit and Aeion HR exchange the record automatically within the same platform — no export, no external sync step. Candidate data (name, email, location, skills) maps directly to employee fields, which immediately triggers payroll setup and IT provisioning. Zero latency, zero API failures.
Yes — the 4 major boards: LinkedIn Jobs, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, via per-board API adapters. Connect each board's partner API key to publish live; until then that board runs in a clearly-flagged test mode (every result is marked as such — no silent fake posts). One-click publish with board-specific formatting, cross-post dedup, auto-repost schedule (weekly/monthly refresh), and per-board posting/analytics tracking. Additional boards (Monster, CareerBuilder, Google Jobs, Dice, and other ATS/aggregators) are on the roadmap behind the same adapter seam.
Runs an automated weekly check for candidates past their retention window (default: 2 years / 730 days). Expired candidates are hard-deleted including applications, interviews, scorecards. Before deletion, you can generate a data export (JSON/PDF). Anonymous aggregate funnel counts are preserved. Right-to-be-forgotten requests execute with cryptographic anonymization of analytics.
Candidates upload video directly via a secure, time-limited link — no server proxy in the path, which keeps both latency and storage costs down. Playback uses separate secure links with their own expiration. Audio is transcribed automatically and scored for sentiment. Retakes are supported when enabled on the template.
