VanillaHR is an applicant tracking system from a Paris-based company, built around how it says hiring actually happens today rather than a traditional, rigid workflow. Its AI reads and analyses submitted CVs and cover letters to help a recruiter move through candidates faster, and the platform includes AI content-creation tools for writing job posts and candidate communication, alongside the pipeline, scheduling and collaboration features expected of a modern ATS. An integrations module connects the platform to other recruiting and business tools, and Enterprise customers get access to more advanced AI capabilities than the entry tiers.
AI screening of CVs and cover letters can carry forward the same biases present in past hiring decisions or in the wording candidates use, so a hiring team should keep a human review step in the loop rather than letting a screening score make the final call on its own, and periodically check outcomes for any skew across candidate groups. The pages reviewed do not name the underlying AI model or detail exactly how the CV analysis is scored, so ask the vendor directly if that matters for a regulated hiring process.
Starter is $199 a month, with a discount for annual billing, for up to 3 users and core recruitment features. Pro is priced by quote for up to 10 users, adding CV and cover letter analysis and more advanced AI tools. Enterprise or Agency is priced by quote for unlimited users with the full feature set. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial plus a complimentary 30-minute onboarding call.
