Tellent RecruiteeATS scope, costs and alternatives

Where this ATS fits

Start is capped at five active job posts. Advance documents unlimited postings, multi-language/multi-location support and a branded multi-page careers site, so its published scope is closer to this European scenario.

Advance lists candidate self-scheduling, structured evaluation forms, offer generation, custom dashboards and workflow triggers/actions. Optimize adds requisition approvals, conditional workflows, onboarding support, a dedicated customer-success manager and a test environment.

Price the proposed plan

The current page routes buyers to a demo without publishing a usable numeric Advance price. SSO is optional on Advance; Optimize includes it. Texting, Journeys, AgencyHub, WhatsApp Hiring and Tellent HR are separately listed add-ons.

What changes the decision

The retention clock starts at application. When profiles merge, the latest application determines retention; manually specified periods can take precedence through the furthest date. Support states GDPR automation is available on Advance and Optimize.

• No signed or scenario-specific quote; implementation and migration costs unknown.
• Public integration availability does not verify synchronization fields or error recovery.
• Jurisdiction-specific retention periods remain a buyer policy decision.

What to demonstrate before buying

Use twelve roles across the actual three locations in the demo. Have two hiring managers evaluate the same applicant, test the proposed approval chain, merge a repeat applicant and inspect retention. Compare Advance plus SSO against Optimize as complete annual packages.

• Teamtailor: Compare its included SSO and country privacy controls, while pricing premium approvals.
• Greenhouse: Compare when structured interviews and more formal process governance dominate.

Country-specific connections and plan limits

Germany/UK: Stepstone confirms connector workflow, including German Stepstone and UK Totaljobs/Jobsite/Caterer. Personio handoff is separately documented.

Which alternatives belong on your shortlist?

• Teamtailor

  A European employer with 12 live roles can use the documented unlimited jobs/users model without a five-job entry-tier constraint. Country-specific privacy settings are relevant to the three-country scenario; they still require an administrator to configure the account.

  Trade-off: the most recent application can change the candidate's applicable location policy. When an application spans several locations, the strictest applicable setting wins. Flagged records are removed after a one-week delay; hired candidates can be excluded.

• Greenhouse

  Core documents interview kits, scorecards, scheduling, reporting and SSO. A European employer adding brands or offices should compare Plus, while audit requirements may justify Pro.

  Trade-off: current documentation supports automatic anonymization if enabled; with it disabled, action is manual. Moving a candidate back into consideration can reset the timer. Activity Notes require explicit inclusion to remove names from that field; selected anonymized data also disappears from reports.
