Hiring tool's ATS functions are also minimal. It lacks CV parsing, analytics/reporting and email automation functionality.</p><p>This being said, the email integration (via Gmail and Microsoft Outlook) allows businesses to send emails to candidates efficiently, without leaving the Hiring tool website.</p><p>Hiring tool's AI candidate scoring function also provides some time-saving benefits to employers with too many application forms to review manually. However, this is not the kind of employer that the rest of the Hiring tool product is aimed at.</p> | 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.

| Integratability | 1 <p>Hiring tool has no integration aside from email functionality (via Gmail and Microsoft Outlook) and background checks (via Zinc Work).</p><p>The lack of job board integration makes it difficult to advertise positions and costs employers time - should they wish to manually upload adverts to job boards.</p> | 3 <p>Join only has pre-built integrations with 2 of the key HRISs (Personio and Factorial) and has no integrations with any e-sign or background check tools.
