Applied is a recruitment platform that describes reducing bias in hiring as its purpose. It brings together pre-built skills assessments and data across the hiring process. AI can help teams create skills-based assessments, interviews, questions, and scoring rubrics, and the platform can flag text that may have been AI-generated. Its Job Description Analysis Tool can review and update job descriptions and create consistent descriptions. The AI policy also describes CV parsing and help with scoring responses. Applied says AI supports hiring decisions, but hiring managers review outcomes and make final decisions; its policy requires meaningful human oversight rather than decisions made solely by automated AI. The site says it integrates with many products but does not name them there. Some features have free trials, while others are presented in an interactive tour with the team. Pricing is available on request. Applied says it has been acquired by Phenom. The homepage states that it complies with UK data security requirements, including GDPR and the EU AI Act, and holds Cyber Essentials Plus certification.
