Panel verdict
The AI panel rates Jobylon 2.5/5, the mean of 6 judges. Jobylon, a recruiting platform from Jobylon AB of Sweden, scores highest on AI screening control — a flat 7 — for an AI Matcher that is off by default, switched on per job, reads only CV and job-ad text with demographic attributes excluded, never ranks or rejects on its own, and offers a candidate opt-out that stops scoring. how scores are made

Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The HR IT Integrator

Weighted verdict

Has to connect the ATS to the HR system, the calendar and identity. Wants a documented API, SSO that is not an enterprise upsell, and a hire that arrives in Personio or SAP with its documents rather than as a PDF someone retypes. Judges integrations by who maintains them.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Applicant management & hiring workflow

How this is scored

The daily work of hiring: pipeline stages per job, collaboration with hiring managers, structured evaluation, interview scheduling and candidate communication — judged on whether a decision is documented rather than merely made.

0 — An inbox of applications with a status field; no stages per job, no shared evaluation and no record of who decided what.

3 — A fixed pipeline with drag-and-drop stages and email templates, but hiring managers see everything or nothing, and evaluation is free-text comments.

5 — Configurable pipelines per job, hiring-manager access limited to their own vacancies, structured scorecards, interview scheduling with calendar integration, and templated candidate emails in German.

8 — Approval workflows for requisitions and offers, role-based access per team and location, structured interview kits, bulk actions with automated but reviewable candidate communication, and a history on each candidate of every stage change and who made it.

10 — The pipeline is an auditable record of a fair process: every decision attributed and reasoned, evaluation criteria fixed before applications arrive, reporting on time-to-hire and drop-off per stage, and the full history exportable per candidate for an AGG dispute.

Report an error

The HR IT Integrator

Configurable stages an admin can modify, lost-reason capture on inactive stages, per-team permissions and multi-brand handling give a real pipeline, and the AI assistant coordinates scheduling with recruiters able to join anytime. We found no public information on structured scorecards, requisition or offer approvals, or a per-candidate history of every stage change and who made it — the decision trail the audit anchor turns on. 1 3 7

Multiposting, career page & candidate experience

How this is scored

Getting a vacancy in front of the right people and letting them apply: job-board distribution for the German market, the career page, and an application process that does not lose candidates on a phone.

0 — No career page and no job-board distribution; vacancies are posted by hand elsewhere.

3 — A basic hosted job list and free aggregator feeds, with no named German boards, and an application form that requires an account or a desktop.

5 — A branded career page, multiposting to named boards including the Bundesagentur für Arbeit and at least one major German paid board, Google for Jobs markup, and mobile application without an account.

8 — Multiposting with booking and budget tracking per board from inside the system, source attribution per applicant, career page in several languages with an embeddable widget, accessibility stated, and an application form configurable per job.

10 — Distribution is measured, not only broadcast: cost and applicants per channel reported, the career page meets a stated accessibility standard, one-click or CV-parse application on mobile, and candidates can see their own status and withdraw themselves.

Report an error

The HR IT Integrator

Branded career sites plus named board integrations — Indeed, LinkedIn Premium, FINN and the Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish public employment services — with sponsored social posting alongside. We found no public information on German boards such as the Bundesagentur für Arbeit, Google for Jobs markup, the mobile application flow, source attribution per applicant, or accessibility. 1 8

Retention, deletion & talent-pool consent

How this is scored

What happens to the data of people who were not hired: automatic deletion on a configurable deadline, talent-pool consent that expires, data-subject requests, and access logging — the criterion the employer is actually liable for.

0 — Nothing stated about retention or deletion; applicant data stays until someone removes it by hand.

3 — Manual deletion and an anonymise button exist, but no automatic deadline, and talent-pool storage has no stated consent step.

5 — Automatic deletion or anonymisation after a configurable period after rejection, talent-pool storage only with recorded consent, and a documented way to answer an access or erasure request.

8 — Retention rules per country or entity, consent with expiry and automated re-consent requests, candidate self-service for their own data, a log of who viewed or exported an applicant file, and permissions a works council can review.

10 — Governance that can be evidenced: deletion runs are logged and reportable, special-category data can be excluded or restricted by field, every export is recorded, and the vendor publishes how deletion propagates to backups and to the job boards and tools it syncs with.

Report an error

The HR IT Integrator

Automated delete, anonymise or hide on configurable schedules — months after application, after a rejection stage move, or after job archiving — plus documented routing of rectification, erasure and objection requests through controller-side features. Talent pools are marketed with no public statement of a recorded consent step, and we found no public information on consent expiry, view or export logs, or how deletion propagates to backups and connected tools. 1 4 5

AI screening transparency & control

How this is scored

Whether any automated ranking, matching, parsing or rejection is disclosed, explained and switchable — recruitment is a high-risk use under the EU AI Act, and an undisclosed score next to a candidate's name is a co-determination matter. A product without AI features is judged on stating so.

0 — AI matching or scoring is marketed with no statement of what it evaluates, where it runs, or whether it can be turned off.

3 — AI features are described as a benefit, with a general assurance that humans decide, but no documentation of inputs, no per-feature switch and no model or provider named.

5 — Each AI feature is described with its purpose and inputs, can be disabled per account, never rejects a candidate without a human action, and the model provider or subprocessor is named.

8 — AI outputs are shown with their reasoning to the recruiter, candidates are informed when AI is used, protected attributes are stated to be excluded, EU processing is available for the AI features, and the vendor publishes its EU AI Act position.

10 — The vendor treats recruitment AI as the high-risk system the law says it is: documentation a works council can base an agreement on, bias testing described and repeated, logs of every AI-assisted decision retained for audit, and every AI feature off by default until the customer enables it.

Report an error

The HR IT Integrator

The matcher is unusually well documented: an open-source embedding model scoring CV-to-job-ad similarity on text only, demographic attributes stated to be excluded, no customer applicant data used for training, off by default and switched on per job with human override always possible, and an optional application-form notice letting candidates opt out so they are never scored. The conversational assistant is similarly described with recruiter control and full history on the profile. We found no public information on an EU AI Act position, bias testing, or where the AI processing runs, and candidate notice is offered rather than standard. 6 7 8

HR handover, integrations & API

How this is scored

The hire does not end in the ATS: handover to the HR system and payroll, identity and calendar integration, e-signature for contracts, and an API a team can build on.

0 — No integrations and no API; a hired candidate is retyped into the HR system.

3 — A CSV export and an email integration, with a partner marketplace that names no German HR or payroll systems.

5 — A documented API, calendar and video-interview integration, and a named handover to at least one HR system common in DACH (e.g. Personio, DATEV-connected systems, SAP SuccessFactors).

8 — Maintained integrations with several named HR systems carrying the hire's data without retyping, SSO and SCIM, e-signature for offers and contracts, webhooks, and an API with published limits.

10 — Integration is designed rather than bolted on: a versioned API with a deprecation policy, handover that carries documents and consent status into the HR record, deletion that propagates to connected systems, and the vendor maintaining the German integrations itself.

Report an error

The HR IT Integrator

A published OpenAPI partner API and named handover to SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, BambooHR, HiBob and Sympa, with e-signing through Scrive, Oneflow and GetAccept and right-to-work checks via Sistec — but several HR connections run through partner middleware like Kombo and Harmonizer rather than Jobylon itself, and I judge integrations by who maintains them. We found no public information on SSO, SCIM, webhooks, published API limits, or whether handover carries documents and consent status into the HR record rather than data alone. 1 8 9

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where applicant data lives, who the contracting entity is, who the subprocessors are — including the job boards, CV parsers and AI providers the system passes CVs to. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; weighted higher here than in categories holding the customer's own data, because every record belongs to a third party who never chose the vendor.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and CV parsing or AI processing of unclear location.

3 — EU hosting offered as an option while the contracting entity is non-EU, or the subprocessor list is absent, or CV parsing and AI features run outside the EU without saying so.

5 — EU hosting as standard and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain — parsing, AI, email delivery — are non-EU without an explained safeguard.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessor list published including parsing and AI providers, and a DPA that covers applicant data as the customer's processing.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, entity, hosting and every subprocessor European, certification published, and the AI and CV-parsing features run within the EU on providers the customer can see.

Report an error

The HR IT Integrator

No sovereignty attributes are on record: the captured pages state no hosting location, no subprocessor list, and no statement of where the AI matcher or any CV parsing runs. The many integration partners are named on the marketplace with no processing locations given, so the chain the CVs travel cannot be reviewed from public information. 6 8

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: the pricing model (per employee, per open job, per recruiter seat), job-board posting costs, add-ons for AI, career page or integrations, and the minimum term.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — A starting price exists, but the pricing basis (employees, jobs, seats) or which features sit in which tier is unstated — the invoice is unknowable.

5 — Tier prices public with the pricing basis and main limits given, but at least one commonly needed piece (paid job-board postings, AI features, integrations, extra seats) is unpriced.

8 — Every tier priced publicly with its basis and limits, add-on prices listed, job-board posting costs or the booking model stated, minimum term and VAT treatment given.

10 — Complete price computability: annual invoice derivable for a given company size, number of open roles and recruiter seats, with every add-on, posting package and overage published.

Report an error

The HR IT Integrator

The captured material shows no prices at all — the public path is a 30-minute call and a free RFP template. We found no public information on tiers, the pricing basis, add-ons, job-board posting costs, or minimum term. 1
