| Functionality | 6 <p>Join offers some of the functionality most SMBs will need for hiring. This includes multi-posting to 10+ job boards, native online assessments, pre-screening questions, and interview kits. It also has an excellent Chrome Extension for adding candidates from LinkedIn. However, it does lack some core functionality such as interview scheduling, CV parsing, and reporting functionality. </p> | 7 <p>Workable offers most features required for low-volume hiring, including creating job openings, posting to job boards, tracking candidates, and setting up interview processes.</p><p>It also has some additional useful features such as an integrated HRIS and native video interviews & assessments. However, for high-volume hiring, its automation, reporting, and career site/job posting features are notably weaker than competitors. </p> | 9 <p>Teamtailor offers all the functionality that most SMBs will need for hiring. In addition to core ATS features (track applicants over a pipeline, create job ad), Teamtailor allows you to compare candidates side-by-side, create highly customisable career pages with a no-code wbe builder, nurture candidates by sending them email sequences and more.</p> | 7 <p>Breezy has a strong level of functionality offering a CV parser, pre-screening questions, data analytics/reporting, interview scheduling, scorecards and reusable interview pipelines.</p><p><br></p><p>It lacks a few useful time-saving integrations that its more heavyweight ATS competitors have. Most notable of these is a chrome extension allowing users to import candidate profiles directly from linkedIn and other job boards. Breezy requires candidates from external job boards to be added manually.</p> |
| Ease of Use | 10 <p>Due to its lightweight nature, Join has the gentlest learning curve out of the ATS's we've come across. It is highly intuitive and easy to use.</p><p>The only minor quibble we have is the ability to drag and drop stages in the interview pipeline. </p> | 8 <p>Workable is straightforward and easy to use. The learning curve is gentle. An average SMB employee should be able to master key functionalities within 30 minutes with minimal guidance. However, some workflows are slightly less intuitive than competitors, such as setting up automations in a separate "Settings" section rather than within the hiring workflow. </p> | 9 <p><span style="color: rgb(9, 9, 11);">Despite its very rich functionality, Teamtailor is very user-friendly. Key workflows such as creating a job opening, customizing an interview pipeline and setting up automations are all very straightforward and intuitive. </span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(9, 9, 11);">An average SMB employee should require around an hour and minimum guidance to use the product proficiently.</span></p> | 6 <p>Breezy is easy to use once you know where to find all the relevant customisations and functionality. These feature, however, are often buried in a settings menu which can be overwhelmingly long.</p><p>That being said, once you have gained familiarity with the location of different features, these features are very intuitive to use.</p><p><br></p><p>In our experience, the average SMB employee would require one day to master all functionalities of the product.</p><p>This number would likley be higher, but the very informative 'how to' videos and other self-serve documents speed up the process greatly.</p> |
| Look and feel | 9 <p>JOIN has a modern, attractive and uncluttered interface with fast load times which makes it a joy to use.</p> | 6 <p>Workable's interface is visually acceptable but pages take 2 seconds to load, which is slower than some competitors. </p> | 10 <p>Teamtailor <span style="color: rgb(9, 9, 11);">has a vibrant, modern design and instant load times that will be an absolute joy to use, for both your hiring team and candidates. </span></p> | 5 <p>Certain features of Breezy have a somewhat dated look. The Kanban dashboard new is sufficiently sleek, however the side bar - where many of the functionalities are found - has a tired look to it.</p><p><br></p><p>Loading times are not exceptionally fast either - but acceptable. Changing between dashboards can often take 2 seconds which can become frustrating.</p> |
| Customisability | 5 <p>Join offers less customisation than more heavyweight ATS's. For example, you can't delay emails to candidates, add team members to specific roles to help with hiring, or add more than one question type to interview kits.</p><p>However, it provides standard levels of customisability for job application forms and interview pipelines. </p> | 6 <p>Workable gives you the usual customization options—like adding custom data fields, tweaking interview pipeline stages, and building your own reports.</p><p>That said, its flexibility has limits when it comes to career pages, candidate scorecards, and application forms. For example, on scorecards, you’re stuck with just three predefined scoring options: “Definitely,” “Yes,” or “No.”</p> | 8 <p>You can customise most things with Teamtailor, from interview stages, job application forms, reports to widgets on the homepage. It also offers best-in-class customisability for careers pages.</p><p>The only things missing are more advanced customisability with reports and interview scheduling.</p> | 8 <p>Breezy boasts a high level of customisation. Career pages can have customised by appearance, messaging (including language) capabilities, displaying social media, listing perks, displaying testimonials, general media and layout. Custom CSS/JavaScript can also be added.</p><p><br></p><p>Similarly, interview pipelines can be customised per position. They can be saved under a particular name or job title and reused again. As many stages as required can be added or removed to new or existing pipelines.</p><p><br></p><p>Usefully, new team members can be added to teams or an entirely new teams can be created to oversee a particular job position.</p> |
