"Effortless Hiring with a Simple Interface"

5/5

What do you like best about JOIN?

I use JOIN as an applicant tracking system, and it simplifies our hiring process. I can create and publish job ads to relevant platforms very easily, and all applications get accumulated inside JOIN, making it easy for our team to manage applicants. I can manage the hiring pipeline from screening to hiring, view complete candidate profiles, send emails, and schedule interviews, all without switching tools. I appreciate the simple interface, which means I don't need tech onboarding, and everyone in the team quickly figured out how to use it to simplify our processes. The product is good value for money, providing access to many useful features that help me hire efficiently. The initial setup was very easy; I could sign up and create a company account myself and then invited my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JOIN?

It works very well as an ATS but it would be even stronger with advanced reporting and hiring analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Experience Overall!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about JOIN?

Join.com is a very useful solution for recruiting. The platform is intuitive, and posting job ads across multiple job boards works seamlessly. It’s especially helpful for smaller companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JOIN?

One small area for improvement: some features could be more flexible, and occasionally, it takes a bit of time for changes to be applied. Still, it’s a recommendable platform with great potential! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JOIN solving and how is that benefiting you?

Join helps simplify the recruiting process by allowing job postings to be shared across multiple job boards from one platform. This reduces the effort of posting manually on different sites. The interface is straightforward, and the application management features help keep the process organised. Overall, it makes handling job postings and applications more efficient.

What do you dislike about JOIN?

Platform has many bugs and during the last pricing migration, JOIN accidentally downgraded our account, leading to data loss and a total disruption of our hiring pipeline. Customer support was not helpful at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Service and communication"

2/5

What do you like best about JOIN?

It is easy to manage job advertisements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JOIN?

Communication with the customer service. No transparency and feedback Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JOIN:

Join is easy to use platform but not very flexible or customer-friendly to adapt to needs. You easily get stuck with a plan that is not needed as the software does not require Admin approval for upgrades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JOIN solving and how is that benefiting you?

It does not solve my problems as it is not very flexible in adapting to the needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very nice. with some missing features"

5/5

What do you like best about JOIN?

Pros:

- super easy to create job add + career page.

- can automatically post the job add in various channels (linkedin + glassdoor + google)

- have all applicants in one place and manage them as a kanban board.

- Goes fast to review an applicant (nice UI)

- workflow setup. I.e., automatically send emails at certain stages.

- the pricing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JOIN?

Cons:

- You can't customize the application form that much. Would prefer that the applicants can insert LinkedIn + GitHub link rather than only a CV + cover letter.

- requires the applicant to create a join account. This is a huge bummer I think. As it creates friction.

- No integration to google calendar (as far as I know). This would be nice to seamlessly schedule interviews

- The ATS I don't really see. I haven't used ATS before though. And for our stage is not a killer feature. I guess its more relevant with 100+ applicants Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"perfect tool to manage your job offers in one place. great usability and easy integration."

5/5

What do you like best about JOIN?

i can easly invite all deparatments and responsible persons to share their job offers. they manage the first screening and quality check. that saves us a lot of time.

furthermore it is perfect to have everything in one place and you can easily boost your job posting via different platforms as LinkedIn, GitHub, Stackoverflow and this with a cheaper rate the directly. perfect! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JOIN?

so far nothing special. maybe the posibility to integrate every single job posting through a widget. so far you can only integrate all job listings with one widget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering JOIN:

Just try it out, it's total free. :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JOIN solving and how is that benefiting you?

It saves us time and money instead of boosting every job posting one every platform. here you can manage everything in one place, directly via join.com.

All deparmtens can easily join the applicaton process with full transparency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Join saves our HR team a lot of time"

5/5

What do you like best about JOIN?

With Join we don't have to log in via different portals anymore to upload the jobdescriptions each time.

We can easily create it once via the join login and automatically post it to various portals free of charge and decide if we want to use additional budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JOIN?

A direct connection to our ATS would be even better, but the bulk import currently also covers this well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
