Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 88 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade
TalentLyft is an applicant tracking system with a branded careers page, job board distribution, a candidate pool, interview scorecards, a Chrome sourcing extension and an employee referral program. Essential and Growth are priced by how many job slots are open, with unlimited users; Enterprise is quoted. It offers a 14-day free trial.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about TalentLyft, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Pipelines, scorecards and the careers site need setting up first.

The report card
Best for a recruiting tool priced by job slots
TalentLyft is an ATS with job posting, interview scorecards and a careers site, starting at $61.25 a month for 2 job slots billed yearly. Price rises with slot count, and multiple pipelines need Growth or Enterprise.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Essential is $61.25 a month for 2 job slots billed yearly ($73.50 monthly), under the $74 cheaper quarter for hiring tools. Price follows the number of slots. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 14-day free trial and no free plan. The page we read does not say whether a card is needed. |
| Features | C | Job posting, applicant tracking, interview kits and scorecards, a careers site, sourcing and referrals. Multiple pipelines, workflow automation and a custom domain need Growth or Enterprise. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Pipelines, scorecards and the careers site need setting up first. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web and a browser extension, with LinkedIn, Facebook, Xing, Outlook and Google Calendar. No phone or desktop app. |
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 TalentLyft is for
- Fits if you are a small company filling a couple of roles at a time
- Works for teams that want a careers site and interview scorecards
Who it is not for

- Tight if you need several pipelines or automation, as they need Growth at $123.75 a month or Enterprise
- Watch out: single sign-on and data migration are on Enterprise only
- Watch out: the rendered page shows monthly prices by default, and the yearly figures came from its page data
Good to know
Good for

- Companies in Europe that want GDPR reporting built in
Worth knowing

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 TalentLyft 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.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 88 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade. It costs $735 a year.
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.
What this rests on. TalentLyft’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.
