What Compono Hire is
Compono Hire is a web-based applicant tracking and recruitment system that profiles candidates against an organisation’s culture and top performers. It ranks candidates using skills, qualifications, experience, culture alignment, work motivation, and behavioural profile. Hiring teams can post roles to multiple job boards, connect sourcing channels, and search pre-profiled candidates in an internal talent pool for future roles. The pipeline includes candidate tracking, tagging, and task management, with visibility into sourcing performance and pipeline health. Candidates may receive personalised work personality insights after applying. Interview tools include candidate self-scheduling, panel scheduling, two-way calendar sync, and integrated video interviews. Listed assessment methods include online education, online testing, and interactive scenario-based learning; development plans, competency gap analysis, and role competency mapping are also supported. Compono says single sign-on can be configured for each customer’s identity provider and security requirements. Pricing is on request, and there is no free plan. Employer pricing is indicative, excludes GST, and excludes separately scoped onboarding and customer success packages.
