"Good Experience Overall!"
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.

"Horrible customer service experience"
What do you like best about JOIN?

Improves hiring efficiency, makes it easy to cross-post job ads and manage hiring pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

"Very nice. with some missing features"
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.

Hard to believe, but I really have nothing against join. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

"Join saves our HR team a lot of time"
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.

"Multiposting at the most important jobboards - FOR FREE"
What do you like best about JOIN?

No costs! With JOIN we were able to publish our jobs at the most important job boards and professional networks (e.g. LinkedIn and XING) for free. The response to our jobs right now is overwhelming with many candidates seemingly qualified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JOIN?

We couldn't find a convenient way to transfer the applicants to our internal Recruitment tool, yet. However, I see lots of improvement throughout the past year and see JOIN growing more and more into a potential ATS replacement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
