Hiring system of record
Every hiring step connected to the evidence that matters.
A hiring process is more than a candidate list. Yardstick connects active Jobs, candidates, interview plans, interviewer assignments, scorecards, and hiring decisions so the team can see what is happening and what evidence still needs to be collected.
- 1Open a role
- 2Manage candidates
- 3Build an interview plan
- 4Assign interviewers
- 5Collect scorecards
- 6Decide with structured evidence
- 7Let agents prepare safe operational tasks
Fair usage-based pricing
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 active Jobs.

Pipeline visibility
Ask what is stuck before work falls through the cracks.
Agents should help teams understand operational hiring state: how many candidates are in each stage, where work is waiting, and which sources are producing candidates.

Structured interviews
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.
