Palantrix differentiates from other AI video interview platforms primarily through the Team DNA Profile: rather than scoring candidates against generic competency frameworks or population norms, Palantrix derives the scoring benchmark from your own high-performing team. The Trait Alignment Score is therefore organisation-specific, role-specific, and directly connected to what predicts success in your context — not in the general population.
The core differentiation: organisation-specific benchmarking
Most AI video interview platforms score candidates against generic frameworks — standardised competency libraries, population-norm personality dimensions, or industry-level benchmarks. These produce scores that are consistent across all their clients, but they are not calibrated to what actually predicts success in any specific organisation.
Palantrix takes a different approach. The scoring benchmark is derived from your own team — the Team DNA Profile — through a structured process of capturing what your high performers actually demonstrate. This means the Trait Alignment Score reflects alignment with your specific context, not a generic standard.
Transcript-based analysis and EU AI Act design
Palantrix scores entirely on transcript content — what candidates say and how well their stated experience and behaviours map to the traits in the Team DNA Profile. There is no analysis of facial expressions, vocal tone, eye contact, or any physical characteristic. This is both a scientific choice (content-based analysis is more predictive and more defensible) and a compliance one (emotion recognition AI is prohibited in employment contexts under the EU AI Act).
The EU AI Act compliance architecture — candidate disclosure, explainable scores, human override, full audit trail — is built into the platform's default operation, not available as an add-on.
EU and Irish data residency
All Palantrix data is stored on EU/Irish AWS infrastructure. For Irish and EU employers with data residency requirements — or simply for organisations that want candidate data to remain within the EEA — this is a standard feature of every plan, not an enterprise-tier requirement.
See Palantrix for yourself
The best way to understand the difference is to see the Team DNA Profile process and the Trait Alignment Score in action. A live demo with the Palantrix team takes 30 minutes and shows you exactly how the benchmark is built and how candidates are scored.

Does Palantrix integrate with existing ATS platforms?
Yes. Palantrix integrates with popular ATS and HR platforms. Candidates can be sourced from your existing ATS and results fed back into it, allowing Palantrix to function as a screening layer within your existing hiring workflow rather than as a replacement for your current systems.
Is Palantrix suitable for enterprise hiring?
Yes. Palantrix offers Enterprise plans with features including multiple Team DNA Profiles for different role families, advanced audit trail and reporting, dedicated support, and custom integration capabilities. Enterprise clients also benefit from priority access to new compliance features as the EU AI Act enforcement date approaches.
Is there a free trial available?
Yes. Palantrix offers a trial period for new customers. The trial includes access to the full platform — including Team DNA Profile setup, video interview creation, and candidate scoring — so you can evaluate the tool with real candidates before committing.
