Why Choose Aurelia? | Recruitment Solutions Comparison

The problem we solve

"Aurelia isn't just another ATS. It's a copilot that guides you."

159,000 companies with 50-1500 employees in France share the same challenge: they must recruit to grow, but can't afford a recruitment agency (15-25% of salary), don't have senior recruiter expertise, and lack time to train. Result: 46% of permanent contracts end before 18 months. Each mistake costs on average 45,000€.

What existing solutions do

Comparison of available solutions

Solution	What it does	What it does NOT do
Standard ATS	Manage candidate flows	Doesn't guide decisions, no industry expertise
ChatGPT	Generate HR content	Not structured, unreliable, not GDPR compliant
Recruitment agencies	Recruit for you	Too expensive (10-15K€/mission) for recurring needs
HR training	Convey theory	No daily accompaniment
Aurelia	Guide + generate + evaluate + decide + integrate	Doesn't decide for you (deliberate choice)

What our customers say

Does Aurelia replace our current ATS?

Aurelia can work standalone or alongside an existing ATS. If you have an ATS you like for managing flows and multi-posting, Aurelia can enhance the evaluation, decision support and integration parts. The two tools complement: the ATS manages applications, Aurelia improves decision quality.

Can we test before committing?

Yes. Aurelia offers 30 days free trial, no commitment, no credit card. You have full access to all features to test on real recruitment. If after 30 days you're not convinced, you simply stop without costs. Most users launch their first recruitment within an hour of signing up.

How long to be operational?

Most users launch their first recruitment within an hour of signing up. The interface is intuitive. Guided onboarding accompanies new users. For teams, personalised support is available (Business and Enterprise plans) to configure templates and train managers.

What if it doesn't suit me after the trial?

Cancel in one click, no fees, anytime (monthly plan). You can export all your data before leaving. We also offer annual pricing (2 months free) if you're convinced, but there's no obligation to commit before testing.
