The panel's verdict

Tribepad is a cloud-based recruitment platform and applicant tracking system from Tribepad Ltd, a UK company, with hosting stated as AWS and all data hosted within the UK. It scores strongest on AI screening control: Sidekick's inputs are listed, diversity questionnaire answers are excluded from processing, the score is generated once at submission and can be removed per job. The split there — 6 versus 7 — turns on the stated bias testing, which the lower scores treat as a claim rather than evidence; neither side found public information on informing candidates of AI use or a published EU AI Act position. Applicant data governance holds at 6 on automatic, reportable deletion after a configurable idle period and opt-in talent-pool emails. Candidate pipeline and job distribution score 5-6, with no structured scorecards, no per-candidate stage-change history and no named German boards. Sovereignty is weakest at 2-3: a non-EU entity, US-headquartered AWS, acknowledged transfers outside the UK and EEA, and no published subprocessor list. Integrations score 4-5, no HR system named. No prices are published; buying runs through a 30-minute call.

Speaks for it

  • AI screening inputs are documented, with diversity and equal-opportunities questionnaire answers excluded from processing and the score removable per job
  • Idle candidates are deleted automatically after a configurable period, visible in a scheduling report with warning emails to candidates
  • Talent-pool job-matching emails require a recorded candidate opt-in plus a platform permission
  • Ten application stages and unlimited per-job interview workflows are configurable, with scheduling against Google and Office 365 calendars
  • Jobs are posted, tracked and closed across boards from inside the ATS, with an Indeed partnership and pay-as-you-go Job Booster across 5000+ media channels

Report an error

Held against it

  • Contracting entity is a UK company with hosting on AWS within the UK, transfers outside the UK and EEA acknowledged, and no dedicated subprocessor list is published
  • The captured pages name no HR or payroll system, and we found no public information on API documentation, single sign-on or webhooks
  • The stated audit trail logs access attempts, and we found no public information on a per-candidate record of stage changes or structured scorecards
  • We found no public information on informing candidates that AI is used, on retained logs of AI-assisted decisions, or on a published EU AI Act position
  • We found no public information on German boards or Google for Jobs markup, or on how deletion propagates to backups and the boards it syncs with

Report an error

Best for

  • You want AI screening you can configure and defend, with documented inputs, excluded diversity answers, and per-job on/off plus score removal
  • You need automatic, reportable deletion of idle candidates and opt-in-based talent-pool communication for privacy reviews
  • You hire across many boards and want posting, tracking and pay-as-you-go promotion run from one system, with board performance tracking
  • You run high-volume, per-job interview workflows with calendar-based scheduling across Google and Office 365

Report an error

Avoid if

  • You need an EU contracting entity or EU hosting — the vendor is a UK company with data stated to be hosted on AWS within the UK, and sovereignty scores 2-3
  • Your procurement requires an inspectable processing chain — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
  • Your HR handover depends on a named system such as Personio or SAP SuccessFactors — the captured pages name none and integrations score 4-5
  • You must show attributable hiring decisions to a works council — the stated audit trail logs access attempts, and we found no public information on who moved a candidate at each stage and why

The scores

Applicant management & hiring workflow

Show reasoning
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 Talent Acquisition Lead

Stage workflows are configurable per job with custom labels, drag-and-drop moves, sub-statuses, quick actions and bulk shortlisting, and interview scheduling runs off Google and Office 365 calendars with slot and availability control — the daily work is genuinely covered. What I cannot evidence is a structured scorecard or any record of who changed a stage and why, and I found no public information on hiring-manager access limited to their own vacancies or on German-language email templates. 3 4 5 9 13

Ten labelled application stages with unlimited per-job workflows, permission-gated drag-and-drop, bulk shortlisting, sub-statuses and interview scheduling tied to Google and Office 365 calendars are all documented in the help centre. I found no public information on structured scorecards, requisition or offer approval workflows, or a per-candidate history of who made each stage change, so the pipeline is configurable but I cannot call it an auditable decision record. 4 5 13

The Works Council Advocate

Ten application stages and unlimited interview workflows are configurable per job, interview scheduling runs against Google and Office 365 calendars, and moving a candidate can trigger questionnaires, sub-statuses and onboarding workflows. What I found no public information on is structured scorecards and, crucially for a works council, a per-candidate history showing who moved them at each stage and why — the documented audit trail logs access attempts, not decisions — so a selection process here is traceable as activity, not yet as attributable, reasoned judgement. 4 5 13 3

The HR IT Integrator

The workflow machinery is well documented — ten application stages plus unlimited per-job interview workflows with custom labels, permission-gated drag-and-drop, sub-statuses, contract generation at the offer stage, and interview scheduling with Google and Office 365 calendars and configurable availability rules. What I cannot find is decision documentation: no approval workflow for requisitions or offers, no structured scorecards or interview kits, and the audit trail logs access attempts rather than who moved a candidate and why. The captured pages also say nothing about German-language candidate communication. 4 5 13 3

The Skeptic

Workflows are genuinely configurable — ten application stages and unlimited interview workflows with custom labels assignable per job, drag-and-drop moves with sub-statuses, contract generation at offer, and interview scheduling with Google and Office 365 calendars plus attendance and gap rules. Evaluation is where it thins out: we found no public information on structured scorecards, approval workflows for requisitions or offers, or a per-candidate history of who changed which stage — the audit trail claim covers access attempts generally. 4 5 13 3

Multiposting, career page & candidate experience

Show reasoning
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.

Jobs can be posted, managed and closed across boards from inside the ATS, with pay-as-you-go promotion across 5,000+ channels at one-off prices shown at booking and board-performance tracking, plus an Indeed partnership and a no-code landing page builder.

Posting, managing, tracking and closing jobs across boards from inside the system is evidenced, with pay-as-you-go promotion across thousands of channels showing one-off prices at booking time, and one major board, Indeed, is named as a partner.

Retention, deletion & talent-pool consent

Show reasoning
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 Talent Acquisition Lead

Idle candidates are automatically scheduled for deletion on a configurable deadline, with a report showing deletion status and date, warning emails and candidate-request deletions, and talent-pool job-matching emails require a recorded opt-in at profile creation. For a story I could defend to a works council, I found no public information on consent expiry or re-consent, per-country retention rules, or candidate self-service for their own data. 2 3 8 11

The Employer Branding Manager

Deletion of idle candidates runs on a configurable period set in the admin tool, with warning emails and a scheduling report showing deletion status and dates, and job-matching emails require a recorded candidate opt-in plus a platform permission.

The Data Protection Officer

Deletion runs after a configurable idle period set in the Data Protection section and is visible in a scheduling report covering candidate-requested deletions and warning emails, and talent-pool job-matching emails require a recorded opt-in.

Automatic deletion after a configurable idle period is real and reportable — the scheduling report shows deletion reason, status and date, with warning emails to candidates beforehand — and talent-pool job-matching emails require a recorded candidate opt-in plus a platform permission.

The HR IT Integrator

Automatic deletion after a configurable idle period is genuinely implemented and reportable — a scheduling report with deletion system, status and scheduled date, warning emails to candidates, and candidate-request deletions — and talent-pool communication runs on explicit GDPR opt-ins. The captured pages are silent on retention rules per country, consent expiry and automated re-consent, and how deletion propagates to backups or the boards and HR systems it syncs with; the privacy policy states no specific retention periods. 8 11 2 3

The Skeptic

Deletion is operational rather than aspirational: a scheduled-deletion report shows candidates due for removal after a configurable idle period, with warning emails and filters by deletion source including candidate requests, and talent-pool job-matching emails run only on recorded candidate opt-in. We found no public information on consent expiry or re-consent, retention rules per country or entity, or a log of who viewed or exported an applicant file, and the privacy policy states only that data is kept as long as necessary. 8 11 2 3

AI screening transparency & control

Show reasoning
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.

HR handover, integrations & API

Show reasoning
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 Talent Acquisition Lead

Automated candidate-to-employee record sync via pre-built HRIS connections is described, Teams and Office 365 integrations are documented down to the per-user account linking, and an API is claimed as deeply configurable — but no API documentation is published and not a single HR system is named, so I cannot see a handover to Personio, a DATEV-connected system or SuccessFactors.

European sovereignty panel opinion

Show reasoning
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.

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

Show reasoning
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.
