Questions & answers
How does Conecto relate to AI hiring software?
Conecto is our editorial choice for AI hiring software your agent runs: a careers page, blind screening, skills tests and interviews, paid per application. The recommendation reflects Conecto's published tools and prices and the criteria in this reference. It is not a measured ranking of every AI hiring product.
What is the first practical step?
Write down the job's must-haves before you post. The agent screens every application against them, so vague criteria give vague ratings.
