Join vs. Teamtailor

Last updated on

SL

Teamtailor and Join are very different ATS's. Teamtailor is the superior choice for growing companies prioritizing candidate experience and requiring rich functionality, offering best-in-class careers pages, comprehensive workflow automation, and extensive integrations.

Join, however, is better suited for small businesses with basic hiring needs and budget constraints, providing an intuitive interface, excellent LinkedIn sourcing capabilities, and built-in assessments at a far more accessible price point.

Advantages of Join

JOIN is cheaper for low hiring volumes
JOIN is free for multiposting up to 2 job ads simultaneously on 10+ job boards. Teamtailor's entry pricing starts at $3K per year for 10 employees, with a minimum 12 month contract.
Join has superior LinkedIn candidate sourcing compared to Teamtailor
Join's Chrome Extension allows seamless one-click importing of candidate profiles from LinkedIn, Github, and email, which is particularly valuable for teams doing high-volume sourcing. In contrast, Teamtailor's extension only allows manual data entry or PDF uploads of LinkedIn profiles.
Join offers native candidate assessments while Teamtailor relies on integrations
Join provides over 1,000 pre-built assessments directly within the platform, making it easier to evaluate candidates comprehensively. Teamtailor requires third-party integrations for assessment functionality, adding complexity and potential cost.
Join is significantly more user-friendly than Teamtailor
We found Join to have the gentlest learning curve of any ATS we've tested, making it perfect for teams new to recruitment software. While Teamtailor is also user-friendly, Join's streamlined interface and intuitive workflows make it exceptionally easy to master.

Advantages of Teamtailor

Teamtailor offers significantly better workflow automation
Teamtailor provides comprehensive workflow automation capabilities, allowing teams to automate various actions when moving candidates across stages, including emails, interview scheduling, and task assignment. Join only offers basic email automation for application confirmations and rejections.
Teamtailor is far superior at creating engaging careers pages
Teamtailor offers best-in-class careers page customization with a drag-and-drop builder, allowing companies to create highly engaging career sites with features like team stories and instant candidate chat. Join, in contrast, offers very limited customization options unless you're willing to use their API and write custom CSS.
Teamtailor offers reporting capabilities

Teamtailor provides rich analytics including candidate source tracking, time-to-hire metrics, and equality monitoring, which is particularly valuable for companies wanting to optimize their hiring process. Join doesn't even have any analytics functionality.

Teamtailor has far better integration capabilities
Teamtailor offers 350+ pre-built integrations with key HR tools and job boards, making it much more versatile for companies with existing HR tech stacks. Join only integrates with a handful of tools and lacks key integrations like background checks and e-signature.

Join is best for

  • Businesses with a low hiring volume (1-2 open positions at a time)
  • Who need a highly intuitive ATS with multi-job board posting and built-in candidate assessments
  • And/or who want efficient candidate sourcing through LinkedIn with one-click Chrome extension imports

Teamtailor is best for

  • Businesses with low to high hiring volumes (1 to 10 open positions at a time)
  • Who are looking for a powerful yet easy-to-use ATS
  • Or who particularly value employer branding and candidate experience

Join is less good for

  • Businesses with a moderate to high hiring volumes (>2 open positions at a time)
  • Who need advanced workflow automation and reporting capabilities
  • And/or who need deep HRIS integrations and customizable approval flows

Teamtailor is less good for

  • Business with very high hiring volumes (>10 open positions at a time)
  • Who want a powerful ATS with advanced analytics functionality

Functionality

Functionality

6/10

<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.

However, it does lack some core functionality such as interview scheduling, CV parsing, and reporting functionality.&nbsp;</p>

Functionality

9/10

<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>
