If you need help choosing
We look at how your team actually operates, not a generic applicant tracking software feature list, and narrow the real options down to the ones that fit. No commission on applicant tracking software, no vendor bias.
Applicant Tracking Software
Looking for Applicant Tracking Software? Here's How to Actually Pick One.
Greenhouse is the name that comes up first in almost every applicant tracking software search, and for a lot of companies it earns that spot. Lever, Workable, iCIMS, and Ashby compete for the rest of the field, each fitting a different hiring volume and structure better than the others.
Finding the right fit, not the best-reviewed option
This is a crowded, well-reviewed category, and we're not going to pretend n-frames can out-rank Greenhouse on brand recognition. What we actually help with is picking the ATS that fits your actual hiring volume and structure instead of defaulting to whichever name is biggest, implementing it correctly, and connecting it to the rest of your hiring stack, job boards, background checks, your HRIS, so candidates don't fall through the cracks between systems.
We're not tied to any one applicant tracking software vendor, so our job is finding what actually fits how your team works, not pushing whichever platform we know best. We'll narrow the field, help you implement whichever applicant tracking software you pick, and connect it to the rest of your business once it's in.

If you've picked something and need it set up
Implementation, data migration, and connecting your applicant tracking software to the rest of what your business runs on, so it's working on day one instead of half-configured for a month.

If nothing on the market actually fits
We build it. Applicant tracking software built around your actual operational style, not one you adapt your business to, with no learning curve for staff because it already matches how they work.

How do you pick the right applicant tracking software for us?
We start with how your team actually works, not a generic applicant tracking software feature checklist. We'll ask what the day-to-day looks like, what's non-negotiable, and what's broken a different way in every applicant tracking software option you're considering, then narrow it down to the ones that genuinely fit instead of the ones with the best marketing.
Do you get a commission or kickback from the software you recommend?
No. We're not an affiliate for any applicant tracking software vendor, so there's no reason for us to steer you toward one option over another except whether it actually fits how you work.
What if nothing on the market actually fits our operation?
That happens more than people expect with applicant tracking software, especially for businesses with a workflow that doesn't match how most off-the-shelf options assume a business like yours runs. When that's the case, we build a applicant tracking software replacement custom around your actual process instead of asking your team to adapt to someone else's.
Is custom software harder for staff to learn than something off-the-shelf?
The opposite, usually, with applicant tracking software specifically. Off-the-shelf applicant tracking software has a learning curve because it's built for a generic version of your business, not yours specifically. We pick or build applicant tracking software around how your team already works, so nobody has to learn a new way of doing their job, it matches the one they already have.
Is the quote really free with no obligation?
Yes. Tell us where things stand with applicant tracking software, we'll tell you what it takes and what it costs, whether that's picking something off-the-shelf, implementing it, or building something custom. The decision on applicant tracking software stays yours either way.
Isn't Greenhouse just the obvious choice at this point?
For a lot of companies, yes, and we'll tell you that honestly instead of talking you into a platform you don't need. Where we actually help is the implementation and integration work most companies underestimate: connecting your ATS to job boards, your HRIS, and background-check vendors so hiring data doesn't get re-entered by hand three times.
