The data layer ChatGPT doesn't have
The most important variable when evaluating HR tools isn't the feature list — it's whether the tool actually connects to your HRIS. Here's what that means in practice:
Works out of the box
Built-in integration. Data syncs automatically. No setup, no middleware, no ongoing cost. This is what you want.
Example: Ashby ↔ Workday
IT team sets it up once
A developer needs ~1–3 days to configure. Reliable once done, no ongoing subscription cost. Acceptable trade-off.
Example: Lever ↔ Workday
Requires ongoing subscription
Works via Zapier middleware. No coding needed but requires a Zapier subscription (~£20–100/mo) and is limited to available triggers.
Example: Pinpoint ↔ Slack
We track this for every tool in our database. Your shortlist shows the integration quality for every tool against your stated HRIS.
This is what you'd receive
Full output. Real data. No blur gates. Scroll through it — then decide if it's worth £99 to get one built for your exact stack.
Executive Summary
Our top recommendation is Ashby. For a 200-person UK SaaS company with an existing Workday HRIS, Ashby offers the strongest combination of native Workday integration, GDPR compliance, and analytics depth. Greenhouse is the closest alternative with broader enterprise support. Lever suits teams prioritising candidate experience with slightly lower implementation overhead. See the full comparison below.

- 3Request data processing agreements (DPAs): Required for GDPR. Both Ashby and Greenhouse provide these — ask for them before signing.
- 4Run a 30-day pilot: Both tools offer pilots. Prioritise testing: candidate intake → Workday sync → GDPR consent workflow.

How we know this data is right
Every tool in our database was researched using a 4-step verification workflow. Here's what that means for the data in your shortlist.
Integration quality — verified
We test and classify every integration as Native, API, or Zapier — not based on vendor marketing copy, but based on documentation review and, where possible, vendor confirmation.
Compliance certifications — sourced
GDPR, SOC2, HIPAA, ISO27001, EEOC status is sourced from official certification registries and vendor trust pages — with a confidence flag (Confirmed / Estimated) on every data point.
Pricing — cross-verified
Pricing bands are cross-referenced across multiple sources and flagged with a confidence level. 'Estimated' means verify with the vendor before budgeting. 'Confirmed' means it's from a public pricing page.
Vendor-independent
Vendors can verify their own data (and earn a Verified badge). They cannot change our recommendations, scoring methodology, or what appears in buyer shortlists. Sponsored placement only affects category page position.
