AI-native HR with bias-check on every JD save · $49/recruiter/mo Starter
For: Head of People · Talent Acquisition · DEI Lead · Hiring Manager
Greenhouse and Lever charge $5,000–$15,000 per recruiter per year, run manual bias review as a separate workflow (or skip it), and have zero AI on hot-tier requisitions. LinkedIn Recruiter prices a single seat above an entire small TA team's tooling budget. Workday Recruiting locks bias controls behind a six-figure HCM contract.
Manera Talent Intel was built for the HR team that wants AI inside the JD editor — not as a separate audit tool — and a price that doesn't require a procurement battle.
The instant you save a job description, AdversarialAI scans it for protected-class language, unconscious gendered phrasing, ableist tone, and EEOC red flags. Only Manera does this inline — Greenhouse and Lever offer it as a paid add-on or post-hoc audit.
Surfaces internal candidates against open reqs using the same semantic search that powers external sourcing. Closes the "we hired outside while a perfect fit sat in another team" gap.
Real-time hint stream during interviews — bias-flag when a question drifts off-rubric, suggest STAR follow-ups, score answer completeness. Server-Sent Events so it lands in <200 ms.
First talent platform with one. Plug Talent Intel directly into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-aware AI workflow. Recruiters query the pipeline in natural language; no CSV exports.
Stubs ship today; full bidirectional sync activates the moment the first enterprise pays. Greenhouse and Lever already LIVE via Harvest API and OAuth.
Per-tenant prompt cache cuts per-requisition AI cost by ~70%. Lets us hold the $49 Starter price without bleeding margin on power users.
One recruiter = $49. Five recruiters = $49 × 5. No "10-seat minimum", no annual commit, no procurement form. Cancel month-to-month.
Defensible audit trail with SHA-256 stamping. Export EEO-1 ready PDF in one click. Survives a Department of Labor request.
