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.
“iCIMS Talent Cloud is good for mid-market to enterprise organizations ... wanting a trusted ATS backbone with incremental AI sourcing layered on top” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Talent intelligence · direct prompt · alternative
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.
“Heavy implementation costs, difficult to configure, and often requires a dedicated team to maintain.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Staffing agency tools · direct prompt · soft negative
“treat them cautiously if you expect a full standalone talent-intelligence platform” Perplexity Sonar · Talent intelligence · negative prompt · soft negative
“enterprise competitors like Phenom or iCIMS, which can cost $10K–$35K+ per year” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Talent intelligence · budget prompt · soft negative
“iCIMS's three-year total cost of ownership can easily exceed $750,000” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Talent intelligence · negative prompt · soft negative
