Overview

Reqcore is an applicant tracking system that parses each CV and application answer into structured data, scores it against per-job criteria and ranks candidates by fit. Every score carries a breakdown and evidence, and a human reviews before any decision. It also covers a public job board, custom application forms, candidate profiles, email templates and interview scheduling.

Best for
Small teams hiring for a few roles at once who cannot read every application by hand.
Pricing
Free tier with one active role and 50 AI shortlists, then Solo at $79/month ($66/month billed yearly), Team at $239/month ($199 yearly), Scale at $599/month ($499 yearly), and Agency on custom pricing.

Strengths and trade-offs

Strengths

  • Unlimited applicants and team seats on every plan
  • Score breakdowns show the evidence behind each ranking
  • Free plan needs no card: one role, 50 AI shortlists
  • Core is open source and can be self-hosted

Trade-offs

  • Free plan is one active role and 50 AI shortlists per account
  • Priced by concurrent open roles, so wide hiring costs more
  • Custom domain and unbranded pages are still 'coming soon'
  • Self-hosting is unsupported and lacks cloud-only features and SSO

Pricing

Published plans and prices from Reqcore’s own pricing page.

How this score is made up

Each dimension is scored out of 100 and combined into the headline score using fixed weights.

  • MCP support

    Whether an agent can drive the product through the Model Context Protocol, and how much setup that takes.

  • API quality

    Public API surface: machine-readable spec, official SDKs, documented auth, errors, rate limits and versioning.

  • Documentation

    Publicly reachable docs — coverage, freshness, code samples and machine readability.

  • Agent friendliness

    How readable the site is to an automated client: llms.txt, structured data, server-rendered content, crawler access.

  • Pricing transparency

    Whether real prices are published, self-serve signup exists, and usage costs are knowable without a sales call.

  • Changelog

    A public, dated record of what shipped and when — the clearest signal that a product is still alive.

  • Marketing site structure

    Whether the site answers a buyer's questions: clear positioning, the pages that matter, and accessibility.

  • Page speed

    How fast the site loads for real visitors: Chrome UX Report 75th-percentile LCP, INP and CLS, with a Lighthouse mobile run standing in where a site has too little traffic for field data.

  • Operational trust

    Status page and incident history, security disclosure, compliance and data-processing documentation.

Measured, but not part of the score

Useful to know, but not a mark for or against the product — so these do not affect the ranking.

  • Openness

    Source availability, self-hosting, data export and open standards. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — paid SaaS is not worse for being paid SaaS.

  • Maintenance

    Release cadence and repository activity. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — it is only measurable for open repositories.

Where this comes from

The Reqcore pages BenchRank reads when it scores the product — its documentation, release notes, status and security pages, and its repository where there is one.
