Datapeople AI features and pricing (September 2026)

Datapeople is an AI platform that helps talent acquisition and compensation teams write, review, and standardize job postings for compliance and consistent employer branding. It is used by enterprise hiring teams, now as part of compensation software vendor Payscale.

Datapeople centers on a Smart Editor for drafting and revising job postings, backed by a repository of templates and brand style guides. Its Insights module tracks compliance and diversity metrics across active job ads, while a browser extension and API connect the editor to existing applicant tracking and HRIS systems. According to the vendor, its guidance draws on outcomes data from more than 100 million job postings across 80 countries.

The company is based in the US and was acquired by compensation software vendor Payscale in September 2025, which now markets it as Datapeople by Payscale. Reference customers named on its site include Allianz, Conagra, Electronic Arts, DoorDash, and Twitch, spanning enterprise talent acquisition, compensation, and legal teams.

• Drafts a first version of a job postingThe First Draft Writing AI generates an initial job description inside the Smart Editor based on role details entered by the recruiter or hiring manager. This gives writers a starting point to edit rather than a blank page for every requisition.
• Checks postings for compliance and toneGuidance and Compliance AI reviews job ad text against legal requirements such as pay transparency rules and against the company's own language guidelines as it is written. Talent teams catch missing salary ranges or off-brand phrasing before a posting goes live instead of after.
• Flags bias-prone languageThe platform scans job postings for wording patterns associated with narrowing the applicant pool, such as gendered or exclusionary phrasing, and suggests alternatives. This helps recruiting and legal teams reduce a source of bias before candidates ever see the ad.
• Surfaces performance data across active postingsInsights aggregates metrics such as views, applies, and drop-off across all live job ads, so recruiting leaders can see which postings underperform. Teams get a basis for prioritizing rewrites instead of guessing which requisitions need attention.

• Now linked to Payscale's compensation data following the September 2025 acquisition, aimed at connecting pay benchmarking directly to job posting content.
• Focuses specifically on the job posting and job description stage, rather than covering sourcing, screening, or interviewing.
• Compliance checks cover pay transparency law requirements across multiple jurisdictions, relevant for employers posting in several US states or countries at once.
• Native ATS/HRIS integration is described by the vendor as a one-day setup rather than a longer implementation project.

Reference customers named on the vendor's site, including Conagra, Electronic Arts, DoorDash and Twitch, are all headquartered in the US.

Before buying, ask directly about pricing, since Datapeople quotes its Comply, Architect, and Attract tiers individually. Customer data is hosted on AWS servers in the United States only, so EU customers need a data processing agreement under Article 28 GDPR with standard contractual clauses. The tool reviews job posting text rather than evaluating individual candidates, so it does not fall under the EU AI Act's high-risk hiring category; pay transparency claims still need checking under local law.

• No federal employee privacy law, a state patchwork instead
• NYC requires bias audits for AI hiring tools
• Illinois bans discriminatory AI in employment decisions
