Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 30 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade
Avature is an enterprise platform covering recruiting and wider talent management. The recruiting side includes an applicant tracking system, candidate relationship management, career sites, interview scheduling, high-volume and early-careers hiring and executive search. It also sells onboarding, internal mobility, learning and performance modules. No prices are published.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Avature, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No price, plan or trial is published, and setup is a project with implementation services sold around it.

The report card
Best for a configurable recruiting platform for large employers
Avature is a configurable ATS with candidate relationship management, AI agents and scheduling, aimed at enterprises. No price, plan or trial is published, and setup is a project with implementation services sold around it.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No prices or plans are published; buyers contact the vendor, so there is no figure to set against the category. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial; buyers contact the vendor. |
| Features | B | A configurable ATS with candidate relationship management, AI agents, fraud detection, scheduling, video interviews and talent modules. Nothing in the listing is missing from the core job. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A very configurable platform means setup is a project, not a sign-up. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only on the listing, with no integrations named. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Avature is for
- Fits if you are a large employer that wants to shape its own hiring workflow
- Works for talent teams that pair recruiting with CRM and talent management
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want to start today, since setup is a project rather than a sign-up
- Not for you if you hire a few people a year; the vendor positions it for enterprises
- Pricey if you want to compare costs, as no prices, plans or trial are published
- Watch out: solution design, implementation and certifications are sold around the platform
Good to know
Good for
- Large employers that need different hiring processes by region or brand
- Teams that want recruiting and internal talent modules from one vendor
- Companies with in-house capacity to configure and own their workflows
Worth knowing
- No prices, plans or free trial are published; buyers contact the vendor.
- The vendor positions it for enterprise use, with services such as solution design, implementation and certifications sold around the platform.
- A very configurable platform means setup is a project, not a sign-up.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
Avature's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No prices or plans are published; buyers contact the vendor, so there is no figure to set against the category.
We could not confirm Avature’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. avature.net has them.

Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
30/101
Other hiring and applicant tracking tools it is graded above
Avature's GPA of 1.8 is higher than 30 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade, and level with 23.

- CPlatforms and integrationsAbove 0 of 101
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Avature you would be making jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 48 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Applicant tracking: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Avature’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
