Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 13 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“I'd recommend starting with hireEZ or Metaview due to their balance of functionality, mid-market pricing, and B2B relevance” MiniMax M2.5 · Talent intelligence · direct prompt · first choice
“HireEZ is the most frequently recommended talent intelligence / sourcing platform for that segment in 2026 buyer guides.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Talent intelligence · direct prompt · first choice
“Top tools for your size (per 2026 reviews): HireEZ (AI/multi-source), SeekOut (diversity), Gem (ATS-native).” Grok 4.1 Fast · Recruiting CRM · scale prompt · first choice
“the strongest overall candidate sourcing tool is HireEZ if your priority is *dedicated sourcing*” Perplexity Sonar · Recruiting CRM · direct prompt · first choice
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“Platforms to Avoid on a Tight Budget: HireEZ - Starts at $494/month” Kimi K2 · Talent intelligence · budget prompt · hard negative
“HireEZ has faced severe backlash regarding privacy and data hygiene.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Talent intelligence · negative prompt · hard negative
“In recruiting/talent sourcing tools (e.g., LinkedIn Recruiter, HireEZ, SeekOut): Be cautious of platforms with outdated/stale data” Grok 4.1 Fast · Recruiting CRM · negative prompt · soft negative
“the pattern of complaints is why many teams audit consent, data residency and opt-out workflows before using hireEZ for sourcing” Muse Glimmer 30B · Recruitment marketing · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named hireEZ. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 185 of the 191 answers that named hireEZ and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page hireez.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.
Names read as hireEZ
What the judge wrote, as written, with how often. The vendor table decides that these count as hireEZ; a claim can dispute any of them.

Is this your product?
Claim this page
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when hireEZ's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as hireEZ, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for hireEZ by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where hireEZ is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
- the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
- its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
- who was chosen in the answers that did not name hireEZ, and every reason the record gives;
- a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
- one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
