Corporate in-house hiring (Greenhouse/iCIMS/Ashby better), tech-forward companies (Greenhouse/Ashby better), or budget-conscious solo recruiters (Workable/JazzHR cheaper).
Staffing agencies, recruiting firms, executive search, RPOs (5-500 recruiters) needing CRM-first ATS optimized for high-volume placement workflows.
