Why Enterprise ATS Doesn't Work for Startups
$15K+/year for hiring software
Greenhouse costs more than your first employee. Your hiring budget should go to people, not tools.
Weeks of implementation
You need to hire NOW. Enterprise ATS takes 2–4 weeks to set up with a dedicated implementation manager.
Per-seat pricing punishes growth
Adding team members shouldn’t cost more. Enterprise ATS charges per seat, penalizing you for growing.
Features you’ll never use
Complex compliance workflows, multi-region approval chains, 400+ integrations. You need a pipeline and AI screening.
