Equip is an AI hiring platform with ATS, skills assessments, and AI interviews for recruiters and hiring teams, with free ATS and pay-per-use modules.

Equip

AI-native hiring platform for ATS, assessments, and interviews

Equip is an AI-enabled hiring platform built around an AI-native ATS, assessments, and AI interviews. It is designed to help recruiters shortlist candidates faster by combining application handling, resume screening, skills testing, and interview workflows in one product.

The site positions the ATS as free forever under specific referral and careers-page conditions, while assessments and AI interviews use pay-per-use credits. That makes Equip relevant for teams that want to start with one module, add others later, and keep hiring work in a single system without committing to a traditional subscription from the outset.

Features

Quick assessment creation

Create an assessment in under a minute by specifying the role, selecting skills and questions, and sharing it with candidates.

Question banks and custom questions

Use Equip’s question bank or add your own questions, with support for many skills and difficulty levels.

Anti-cheating proctoring

Apply automated proctoring controls such as auxiliary device detection, session recording, tab switching checks, and noise recording.

Real-time results and dashboards

See candidate results as soon as they submit, then filter, export, and manage the pipeline from a simple dashboard.

ATS workflow management

Use the ATS module for job posting, CV parsing, AI resume screening, candidate pipeline management, and team collaboration.

AI interview formats

Run one-way or conversational AI interviews that collect video, audio, or text responses asynchronously or in real time.

Use cases

  • Applicant tracking and shortlist management

    Use the ATS to manage applications from the moment candidates apply through screening, stage movement, and final hiring or rejection decisions.

  • Skills assessments for role screening

    Build role-specific tests from the question bank or your own material, then share them with candidates and review results as they come in.

  • AI interviews before human review

    Run one-way or conversational AI interviews when you want candidates to submit responses asynchronously or take part in a live AI-led exchange.

  • Staged hiring across modules

    Combine assessment results with pipeline management so a team can move from application to test to shortlist inside one workflow.

  • Test selection and role matching

    Use the test library to browse prepared skill tests across technical and non-technical roles such as programming, communication, psychometric, SQL, and video response.
