Consider switching to Greenhouse: Offers similar ATS features with a focus on integration and analytics.
Workable publishes prices on its website (Starter $149/mo, Standard $299/mo, Premier $599/mo with a 15-day free trial), while Tellent Recruitee is quote-only with an 18-day free trial and annual contracts. Workable charges per active job slot, which can inflate costs for teams with many simultaneous open roles, whereas Tellent Recruitee gives you 5 jobs on Start and unlimited jobs from Advance up. Tellent Recruitee leans toward European hiring with stronger localization in Dutch, French, and German, while Workable is stronger in North American sourcing and integrated AI screening at the Premier tier.
Greenhouse is the structured-hiring standard for North American mid-market and enterprise companies, with deeper interview kits, stronger DEI funnel analytics, and OFCCP compliance support that Tellent Recruitee does not match. Greenhouse pricing typically starts around $5,000 per year and scales to $25,000 or more, with separate implementation fees, so the total cost of ownership is several times higher than Tellent Recruitee's quote-only annual plans. Tellent Recruitee suits European SMBs and mid-market teams that want collaborative hiring without the enterprise overhead, while Greenhouse fits larger US teams with mature recruiting operations.
BambooHR bundles ATS, HRIS, onboarding, time tracking, and basic benefits into one contract starting around $10 per employee per month, while Tellent Recruitee is an ATS only and requires a separate Tellent HR contract for HRIS functionality. For teams under 100 employees who want one platform for the full employee lifecycle, BambooHR is usually cheaper and simpler. Tellent Recruitee is the better fit when hiring is the primary workflow that needs depth, with a kanban pipeline, 1,450+ job board reach, and the AI Screening Assistant that BambooHR's lighter ATS module does not match.
Yes. Tellent Recruitee supports the LinkedIn Recruiter System Connect (RSC) integration, which syncs candidate data in real time between the two platforms and lets you export candidates from LinkedIn Recruiter to a Tellent Recruitee job in one click. The integration is available at no additional cost from Tellent Recruitee, but requires an active LinkedIn Recruiter seat to use. Setup happens through the Tellent Marketplace under Sourcing integrations and requires admin permissions on both systems.
No. Tellent's AI Statement, last updated 11 February 2026, explicitly states that customer data is not used to train AI models or for any secondary purposes beyond providing the service. The AI Screening Assistant, AI-generated emails, and AI translation features run on customer data only for the customer's own workflow. Tellent is SOC 2 Type II audited annually and ISO 27001 certified, with EU data residency through the Amsterdam-based legal entity Recruitee B.V.
Yes. The interface and candidate-facing pages support English, Dutch, French, and German, and the AI assistant translates job postings between languages with one click. Multi-location and multi-language posting is available from the Advance plan up, including support for European job boards like France Travail, Jobteaser, and other regional platforms via the marketplace. Tellent Recruitee is Amsterdam-headquartered and has the deepest job board coverage in Western Europe rather than North America.
Yes. Tellent Recruitee has direct integrations with BambooHR, Personio, Workday, and several other HRIS platforms via the marketplace, plus 1,500+ additional connections through Zapier. Hired candidate records can be pushed automatically once they're moved to the hired stage, eliminating duplicate data entry. If your HRIS is not in the marketplace, the open API on the Start plan and full API support on Optimize let you build a custom sync.
Tellent Recruitee offers an 18-day free trial that does not require a credit card, accessible via the Start free trial link on the pricing page. The trial gives you most Advance-tier functionality including unlimited job posts, AI-powered email drafting, candidate self-scheduling, and the marketplace integrations. Reviewers on Capterra and GetApp consistently describe the trial as generous enough to genuinely evaluate the product, though some advanced Optimize features like the full AI Screening Assistant and BI integrations are not included.
Yes, but agencies should request a custom quote rather than buying a standard plan, as Tellent's pricing page directs agencies to contact sales for tailored pricing. The AgencyHub add-on, launched in Q3 2025, centralizes communication with multiple external recruitment agencies in one workspace, which is useful both for in-house teams managing agency relationships and for agencies themselves managing client requisitions. AgencyHub is available as a paid add-on on all three plans.
Tellent Recruitee supports CSV import for candidates and jobs, and Tellent publishes a guided migration path specifically for teams switching from Teamtailor and other ATS platforms. Outbound, you can export candidates and jobs as CSV at any time as part of the GDPR data portability rights enumerated in the privacy policy. Cleaning and structuring legacy data is usually the longest part of the work, not the technical export or import itself.
