Interview plans
Use AI assistance to turn role requirements into a structured interview plan the team can refine.
The ATS built for humans and agents.
Build and nurture a talent pipeline, then manage roles, candidates, interviews, and hiring decisions in one workspace where people stay in control and agents can safely help move the work forward.
You do not need a terminal to use Yardstick. Switch on a built-in agent from the catalog, or point your own coding agent at it if that is already how your team works.
Every hiring step connected to the evidence that matters.
A hiring process is more than a candidate list — it starts before the role is open. Yardstick connects talent prospects, talent pools, and human-approved outreach sequences with open roles, candidates, interview plans, interviewer assignments, scorecards, and hiring decisions — plus a hosted job site for inbound applications, so the team can see what is happening and what evidence still needs to be collected.

Hiring does not happen in neat seat counts.
Some months you open multiple roles. Some months hiring pauses. Yardstick is designed to price around active hiring work instead of employee count or every collaborator invited into the process.
- No employee-count tax.
- No seat tax for interviewers and collaborators.
- Archived or read-only Jobs should not create active hiring charges.
- First 3 Jobs are free, then Core starts at $49/month plus $29 per open role.

Hiring paused
Ask what is stuck before work falls through the cracks.
If your team already works with a coding agent, ask it and it pulls the answer straight out of Yardstick: how many candidates are in each stage, where work is waiting, and which sources are producing candidates.
No coding agent on your team? Yardstick also runs built-in agents that watch for a hiring condition and handle the follow-up work on your behalf. See the built-in agents.

AI-assisted interview plans are built in.
Yardstick uses AI to help build role-specific interview plans, questions, rubrics, and scorecards inside the ATS workflow. The team starts from a structured draft — shaped by the kind of hire you decide you need — then refines it before interviewers use it with candidates.
Question guidance
Give interviewers prompts and follow-ups tied to the role.
Rubrics
Make strong, mixed, and weak evidence easier to recognize.
Scorecards
Compare candidates against shared criteria instead of memory.
Build a hiring process people can trust and agents can help operate.
Use Yardstick to manage active hiring, run structured interviews, and keep operational work moving with human approval at the center.
