Why Kreativs Is Different
Compare Kreativs against traditional ATS platforms, black-box AI screening tools, and patchwork HR tech stacks. See why leading enterprises are making the switch.
The Approaches You Are Evaluating
Every enterprise we talk to is comparing these three alternatives. Here is what each one actually delivers.
Traditional ATS
Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, Workday
Keyword-based tracking systems that organize applications but offer no intelligence. Recruiters manually screen every resume, and candidates fall through the cracks.
- Keyword matching misses qualified candidates
- No AI evaluation or scoring
- Manual screening creates bottlenecks
- No fraud or identity verification
Black-Box AI Screening
HireVue, Pymetrics, Eightfold
AI tools that score candidates but cannot explain why. This creates compliance risk, erodes recruiter trust, and leaves your organization exposed to bias litigation.
- Opaque scoring - no explainability
- Compliance risk from unexplainable decisions
- Bolt-on tools that fragment your stack
- Limited recruiter control or override
Patchwork HR Tech Stack
ATS + CRM + Sourcing + Screening + Scheduling
Stitching together 5-8 vendors to cover the hiring lifecycle. Each tool has its own login, data format, and limitations. Data gets lost between systems, and nobody has the full picture.
- Data silos across multiple vendors
- No unified candidate view
- Integration maintenance burden
- Compounding licensing costs
