Headstart
A recruiting platform focused on screening large volumes of candidates fairly and quickly.
Headstart is applicant matching and management software designed for early talent teams that handle high-volume hiring. It addresses the challenge of efficiently screening thousands of candidates while aiming to reduce bias in the process. The platform can be used as a standalone applicant tracking system (ATS) to manage candidates from application to hire, or its FairScreen product can integrate with an existing ATS to provide advanced screening capabilities without replacing the current system.
The core offering, FairScreen, uses data science and machine learning to assess candidates. It screens applications in bulk, filters out ineligible candidates, and ranks applicants using a configurable Match Score. The platform includes features such as a candidate management dashboard, automated candidate communications, custom pipeline stages, performance analytics, and assessment scheduling. It is designed to work alongside major ATS platforms or replace them entirely.
Headstart is aimed at HR directors, heads of talent, heads of DE&I, and recruiters. The FairScreen product is offered in tiered annual plans based on company size, with Business, Enterprise, and Enterprise XL editions, as well as pilot programs. The full Headstart ATS is available upon request with custom pricing. All plans include personalized onboarding, a dedicated customer success manager, and support for unlimited roles and applications.
