We’re chuffed to share that Tribepad has been named a Core Leader in the 2026 Fosway 9-Grid™ for Talent Acquisition, in our furthest-right position yet – a measure of exceptional performance.
This comes with an outstanding low cost of ownership, proving our commitment to customer value. Our placement proves we consistently deliver real impact where it matters most – to make hiring fairer, faster, and better for everyone.
Cutting through the noise to power better tech decisions
The talent tech landscape is more saturated than ever, with fast-moving innovation and endless new tools promising to solve today’s most urgent hiring challenges.
But that also means it’s increasingly challenging for leaders to choose which software to invest in. Everyone everywhere has a million good reasons to take your money.
In this context, benchmarks from independent expert analysts like Fosway are invaluable. They help leaders cut through the noise, to make better technology decisions that drive stronger ROI.
That’s also why Tribepad are proud founding members of the Association of RecTech Providers (ARTP) – a standards body that will help make the recruitment tech market easier to navigate and more transparent for everyone.
And it’s also why we’re the first UK ATS to become Warden AI Assured. Because we fundamentally believe in trusted, third-party assurances that help leaders navigate buying decisions better.
Our latest placement within the 2026 Fosway 9-Grid™puts us our furthest-right yet – and the furthest-right possible on the grid, a marker of our exceptional performance.
We’re thrilled to see our platform – homegrown by a small team in Sheffield – outperforming landmark competitors and competing successfully against Silicon Valley giants.

Even better, our total cost of ownership remains extremely low – showing the best performance-to-cost ratio on the grid.
That’s something our team are especially thrilled to see, because value has always been a huge priority for us. Our customers have achieved exceptional results over the years, like:
- doubling fill rate
- slashing time-to-offer 75%
- increasing hard-to-hire applications 150%
- reducing compliance time 62%
- increasing diverse hires 122%
- reducing cost-per-acquisition by 47%
- saving £80K in the first year
The fact that those results – and many more – happen without the eye-watering price tag is something we’re enormously proud of.
This latest recognition comes on the back of another big moment for Tribepad, winning both the Best ATS for Enterprises and Best ATS for SMEs (yes, on the same night; yes, the only ATS to have done it…) at the IHR Supplier Awards.
We’ve spent nearly twenty years helping organisations build recruitment systems that stand up to the complexities of high-volume, often highly-regulated hiring. We’re thrilled to be recognised for everything we do – and help our customers do.
But we also take this as a line in the sand. Tribepad has always stood for continuous innovation. We never rest on our laurels and we’re excited to continually raise the bar for what’s possible.
That means we’re continually investing in our people and our platform – with even bigger things on the horizon, so our customers can stay at the cutting-edge for years to come. Watch this space.
Who knows? Fosway might need a new quadrant for us… ;)
Tribepad is the trusted tech ally to smart(er) recruiters everywhere. Combining ATS, CRM, assessment, video screening, compliance, onboarding, analytics and a fully-integrated AI assistant, our talent acquisition software is a springboard for fairer, faster, better recruitment for everyone.
