Tools that connect systems and automate recruiting workflows: workflow automation platforms, integration layers and the products that sit between the systems you already run.
Between the other categories rather than inside one. This is what you buy once you have several systems and the work has become moving information between them by hand.
Choosing a automation & integration tool is mostly a question of which trade-off you can live with. The list below is ordered by how squarely each tool sits in this category, then by how much of its pricing and positioning we can back with a primary source.

Stop a person being the integration between two systems that should talk to each other.
This category runs alongside the whole process rather than occupying one step of it.

Make (Integromat)General visual automation platform used in recruitment as glue between systems. Free gives 1,000 credits a month, 2 active scenarios and a 15-minute minimum interval; Core at USD 9 a month for 10,000 credits makes scenarios unlimited and drops the interval to one minute. Pro USD 16 adds priority execution and log search, Teams USD 29 adds roles and shared templates, Enterprise is quoted. Around 3,000 connectors. It ships connectors and control flow, not recruitment logic.
A polling trigger spends a credit on every empty check, and an action module spends one per bundle, so scenario design decides the bill more than the price list does

Every plan includes unlimited users, unlimited workflows and every integration, and executions are counted regardless of how many steps each one runs.
