Mindsight is a Brazilian people analytics and assessment platform owned by the Sankhya group. Its Mindmatch assessment scores candidates against profiles of high performers, and its AI predicts attrition and builds HR processes for employers in Brazil.

Key functions

• Mindmatch uses machine learning to compare test results with profiles of successful employees and gives a fit score
• Predictive alerts on attrition risk from engagement, profile and absence data
• Forecasts the success of new hires in sales roles from performance and behavioral data

Compared with Coodesh

• Strong in the same markets as Coodesh: Brazil.

Check before buying: Mindsight works in Portuguese and targets employers in Brazil, where LGPD governs personal data. No hosting location, certificates or subprocessor list is published, so request them together with the data processing agreement. Personality testing and automated candidate scoring are high risk under the EU AI Act from December 2, 2027 when used for EU hiring, and Brazilian employers should also check how the test results are explained to candidates.

Applied is a UK recruiting platform for skills-based, bias-reduced hiring that combines automated AI screening, task-based skills assessments and a job description bias checker, and has been part of Phenom since February 2026.

Key functions

• Applied SIFT for skills-based performance prediction
• JDAT job description bias analysis

Compared with Coodesh

• Offers a free trial; we found none for Coodesh.
• Headquartered in United Kingdom, Coodesh in Brazil.
• Strongest elsewhere: United Kingdom.

Check before buying: Applied's privacy policy states that AWS hosts the applicant and hirer databases on servers, some of which are in the USA, so confirm the hosting location and transfer safeguards directly. Check which recruiting systems it needs to connect to; prices are not published and are quoted after a demo. Because Applied screens job applicants, it falls under the EU AI Act's high-risk category for recruitment, with obligations phasing in from December 2, 2027.

Codility is a technical skills assessment platform for hiring and evaluating software engineers, offering automated coding tests, live technical interviews and AI-specific tasks such as prompt engineering, used mainly by engineering and technical recruiting teams.

Key functions

• Configurable per-assessment AI access with a reviewable activity log
• AI-native task library covering prompt engineering and AI-code evaluation (COMPASS benchmark)

• Offers a free trial; we found none for Coodesh.
• Can store data in the EU; Coodesh states no EU option.
• Headquartered in United Kingdom, Coodesh in Brazil.

Check before buying: Confirm which data hosting region applies to your contract: Codility offers data centers in both the US and Frankfurt, Germany, chosen per customer. Because Skills Intelligence can score a company's own engineers rather than only external candidates, this use can fall under German works council co-determination on monitoring systems (section 87(1) no. 6 of the Works Constitution Act) and needs a GDPR Article 28 processing agreement. Hiring-related use counts as high-risk under the EU AI Act from December 2, 2027.

Compared with Coodesh

• Publishes a price (from $1,990 per year); Coodesh quotes on request.

• Names 2 security certificates, Coodesh 0.

Check before buying: Confirm data hosting before buying: HackerRank uses AWS and Google Cloud with geo-redundancy and contractual clauses for international transfers.

If test scores drive hiring or promotion decisions in New York City, Local Law 144 requires an independent bias audit and a published summary.

Compared with Coodesh

• Can store data in the EU; Coodesh states no EU option.

• Strongest elsewhere: United States.

Check before buying: Because the AI Interviewer and predictive scoring evaluate real candidates, ask for the latest independent bias audit, which New York City requires under Local Law 144. For Illinois applicants, give notice and get consent before AI analyzes video interviews. Colorado's SB 26-189, which replaced its 2024 AI Act and covers automated hiring decisions, takes effect on January 1, 2027. HireVue says it is co-located in the US and Europe and holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certification, so confirm in the contract which region will hold your candidate data.

• Names 3 security certificates, Coodesh 0.

Check before buying: Before buying, confirm which hosting region applies to your contract, since the vendor offers AWS hosting with optional local storage in Europe, China or India. Pricing is quote-based, and a free trial is available through self-service sign-up. Because SecureProctor and the psychometric tools assess people, ask how the vendor will support consent and privacy notices under India's DPDP rules, fully in effect from May 13, 2027. India's voluntary MeitY guidelines also recommend bias testing across gender, caste, religion and geography before such tools shape employment decisions.

Check before buying: Before buying, clarify where interview and exam recordings are stored for your account; Talview states that EU client data is hosted within the EU. Pricing is unit-based with a minimum commitment of about 150 to 200 candidates, so request a quote against expected numbers. Because Ivy scores recorded interviews, Illinois requires notice and consent before AI analyzes video interviews, and New York City requires an independent bias audit. Alvy verifies identity by face, and India's IT Rules 2011 treat such biometric data as sensitive, requiring documented security practices.

Dutch talent-assessment and sourcing platform for recruiters and HR teams, combining a library of more than 350 skills tests with AI resume scoring, AI-led interviews, and new AI-fluency assessments, aimed at hiring based on demonstrated skills rather than resumes or degrees.

Check before buying: Before buying, note that paid plans require an annual commitment even though they are billed monthly, and that ATS integrations and full AI-interview customization only unlock on the Plus tier and above. Confirm the data processing agreement and hosting details with TestGorilla for your contract. Because AI interviews and resume scoring evaluate candidates, German employers should involve the works council under Section 87(1) No. 6 BetrVG and treat hiring uses as high-risk under the EU AI Act from December 2027.
