aperture vs ribbon.
Ribbon runs AI voice screens and returns transcripts and summaries for your team to read. aperture returns a ranked, scored shortlist with confidence intervals so you don't have to read anything to know who's top of the pool. If you want transcripts, ribbon is simple. If you want decisions, aperture is sharper.
Pick ribbon if
- you want a tidy transcript handed back to you, and you're fine being the one who turns it into a decision.
- your idea of progress is reading every interview yourself, just faster.
Pick aperture if
- you want scored shortlists, not a pile of transcripts to read through.
- you need applicant tracking and pool-relative ranking alongside interviews.
- you want confidence intervals on scores so ties don't get forced into a ranking.
