Start with the careers page, not the feature grid. A native page builder, job widget and branded application flow can save website work, but only if marketing or HR can update pages without filing tickets every week.
Check the brand controls before you buy. Logos, colours, images, video, portal language and custom domains matter, but multi-brand setups can move you into higher plans or paid add-ons.
Do the candidate-experience test on a phone. Mobile-friendly applications, auto-fill, reminders and surveys reduce drop-off, but long screening forms can still make a polished careers site feel like a slog.
Price the communication layer separately. Texting, AI screening credits, onboarding modules and candidate-agent credits can become material once a better careers page increases applicant volume.
Be careful with quote-only platforms. Teamtailor and Greenhouse can make sense for brand-led or enterprise hiring, but you need the vendor quote to include divisions, job boards, analytics and support expectations.
Match the tool to hiring complexity. Breezy HR is easier to justify for a small team, Workable fits sourcing-heavy growth teams, Teamtailor suits brand-first recruiting, and Greenhouse is stronger where structure and governance matter more than no-code page design.
