Ideal - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Ideal is an intelligent system that integrates with existing HR and application tracking software to assist with high-volume talent searching and recruitment. The platform uses AI (artificial intelligence) to analyze rich candidate information such as resumes, chatbot conversations, assessments, performance data, and more, to score and qualify candidates.

With Ideal Intelligent Screening, candidate data from existing internal and external candidate databases and talent pools is automatically analyzed and screened, in order to assign each candidate with an eligibility score from A-D. Ideal Intelligent Automation then generates a shortlist of suitable candidates for recruiters to select and qualify for the next stage.

With the Ideal Intelligent Chatbot, an unlimited number of shortlisted candidates can be engaged through instant messaging communication to further qualify them through the recruitment process. Using custom questions, recruiters can discover unique, candidate-specific information and store all responses and conversation history for later review.

Ideal integrates with assessment and calendar software to automatically send invitations for interviews as well as generate tasks for completion by candidates at relevant stages of the recruitment process. Additionally, Ideal can be integrated with third-party recruitment software such as Workday, TalentNest, Bullhorn, and others.
