Frequently asked questions
Which HR tool should I choose as a small business without an HR department?
Manatal and Flatchr set up in minutes and are enough to post a job, screen CVs, and track candidates without special training. Personio is good if you also want to manage time-off and payroll in the same tool.
Do these tools replace a recruitment agency?
Not entirely, but they cover the core of traditional recruitment (posting, CV screening, interviews) at a much lower cost than an agency, like Recruitee or Tellent offer.
You work as business owner / sme and want to automate “recruiting without complicated hr software”?
We help you choose and set up the right tool for how you work.
