Why this site exists

HR and recruiting got flooded with AI features nobody asked to evaluate.

Every ATS, job board, and HR suite now ships an AI button, and someone on your team has to decide whether it helps, wastes money, or creates a bias problem you will answer for later. We test these tools against real hiring and people-ops work, explain where they earn their keep, and flag where a human still has to make the call.
