In the recruitment ecosystem, names get mixed up. ATS, consulting firms, screening platforms, and there are those who sell everything and even add payroll management and other human resources services. It is natural for misunderstandings to arise, and we have even been called various names because of this confusion. We've heard it all: "Oh, so you're just another ATS?" or "Do you operate as an outsourced consulting firm?"

The answer is simple: we are none of those things. But to explain what we are, we must first clarify what we are not.

‍

What is an ATS—and what it doesn't do

The ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is a registration system. It organizes resumes, centralizes information, and tracks stages of the process. It is essential for structuring high-volume hiring, but its logic is documentary and administrative.

- ATS does not interview candidates.

- He does not evaluate skills.

- He does not interpret behaviors.

- It only stores and manages data.

If Artificial Intelligence is used in ATS, it is to filter applications and reevaluate resumes, in a sort of tireless search for keyword matches versus job descriptions.

What is consulting — and how Solu stands out

Recruitment consultancies offer specialized human services: a consultant who researches, interviews, and recommends professionals. This model can be effective, but it depends on manual scaling, consultant hours, and often becomes expensive and not very scalable.

Solu does not sell consulting hours. We offer technology. Our platform is the engine that interviews, qualifies, and transforms information into actionable data for recruiters. We only add services in very, very specific cases for customer support.

What is Solu — and who is Solu?

• Solu is the recruitment technology platform that uses AI to scale interviews and neuroscience to improve qualification through behavioral analysis.
• Sol is the AI agent within the platform. She interviews candidates, analyzes behavior, and assesses reasoning and skills.
  

Therefore: Solu ≠ Sol ≠ ATS ≠ consulting.

Solu can work on its own (for companies that do not have ATS) or as an add-on to ATS (as in the case of integrations with Gupy), improving the quality of screening.

Why clarity matters

When Solu is confused with ATS or consulting, there is a loss of perceived value.

• Those who think we are ATS expect only a repository of resumes.
• Those who think we are consultants imagine the hourly cost of a headhunter.
  

What we deliver is different: an intelligent screening layer that interviews all candidates and generates standardized, auditable, and decision-ready data.

It is this clarity that allows companies to see Solu for what it is: the best screening tool on the market, ready to reduce hiring time, increase assertiveness, and eliminate bias.
