Included for all subscribers at $150/month per seat

Your ATS Wasn't Built for Executive Search
Generic applicant tracking systems were designed for high-volume recruiting, not retained search. You've been adapting tools built for a different workflow — and the gaps show up in every search.
“Where's the latest candidate list?”
Spreadsheets emailed back and forth with no single source of truth
“What did the client say about this candidate?”
Interview feedback buried in email threads and meeting notes
“Can you put together a board deck?”
Hours of copy-pasting from multiple systems into PowerPoint
“Did we document the search process?”
Compliance documentation assembled retroactively under time pressure

For executive search mandates, yes. Verata's mandate management is purpose-built for retained search — not a generic applicant tracking system adapted for executive placement. If you're using Invenias, Thrive, or spreadsheets to track searches, this replaces all of them.
AI evaluates each candidate against your mandate's scorecard using data from their Verata profile — work history, financial outcomes, tenure at relevant companies, industry experience. Every score includes cited evidence so you can verify the assessment.
We integrate with Thrive, Salesforce, and other common platforms. But the goal is to reduce your tool count, not add another integration. Most search firms using Verata's mandate management find they no longer need a separate ATS.
