Bias Prevention by Design, Not by Add-On

Greenhouse offers resume anonymization only on its most expensive Expert tier. Equip strips names, photos, addresses, and demographic identifiers from every resume before AI scoring — on every plan. AI interviews evaluate text transcripts only, never facial expressions or voice patterns. Every AI score includes an explanation.

Your hiring stack shouldn't
hold you back

Stuck with spreadsheets, drowning in resumes, or locked into an ATS that does everything except actually help you hire? Equip fits right in, no matter where you're starting from.

Going from zero

No ATS? No problem. Go from job posting to hired candidate without stitching together five different tools. One link. One platform. Done.

Ditching the old way

Rip out the bloated ATS you're overpaying for. Equip gives you screening, assessments, AI interviews, and tracking, minus the six-week onboarding.

Running both for now

Not ready to break up with your ATS? Fair enough. Plug Equip in for the parts your ATS can't handle: AI interviews, skill tests, resume scoring.
