JOIN Reviews

“connects well with others”

Pros

We used it to produce AI-generated job postings and honestly the results were pretty decent as it captured the tone and key details we needed. It also connects smoothly to Personio and Recruitee without any technical headaches which made integrating it into our workflow super smooth.

Cons

I am worried that JOIN has a bad reputation on Reddit due to fake job posts and I am concerned that might hurt our company's image.

“Company listing was delayed”

Pros

Right now I do not have anything positive to say about this tool.

Cons

My client's company listing was delayed at first then blocked for reasons that seemed pretty weak.

“account locked despite paid invoices”

Pros

It will be okay when I can actually log in.

Cons

They locked my account because they said I had missing payments and they included a link to my invoices. But when I checked the software's own system, every single invoice was marked as paid.

“Misled by unverified job posts”

Pros

Honestly I do not have any positives to mention about this.

Cons

I feel like I was misled by a company that was promoted on LinkedIn. It seems they don't check whether the jobs they post are trustworthy. I contacted Join about it and they said they take it seriously. Still I am very disappointed with how they handled it.

“Hiring and tracking made simple”

Pros

This program really helps me with hiring, tracking candidates and managing job boards that too properly.

Cons

Well I haven't found any real downsides as it's quite useful so go ahead and use it.

“truly a pleasure to use”

Pros

JOIN is a very useful tool and is pretty simple to use. Overall it is truly a pleasure to work with.

Cons

I don't really notice any specific problems. It's simple and pretty easy to operate.

“easy job posting experience”

Pros

The software is really easy to use when I am posting job offers.

Cons

Personally I did not like the interface change as the previous version felt simpler and more structured.

“Quick setup with everything needed”

Pros

To be honest I'm impressed by the quick setup and I enjoy the smooth user experience. Overall it really has everything I need in a single spot.

Cons

One thing I noticed is that the fees on certain job portals can be pretty high.

“Easy use with integrated portals”

Pros

JOIN platform is very easy to use and I also like the integrated portals.

Cons

Overall it is pretty amazing but I feel it could handle CV management a bit more efficiently and streamline that part of the workflow.

“simple tool with a clear layout”

Pros

I really like that this online tool is defined by its simplicity and clear, easy to follow layout.

Cons

At the moment I can't think of any real downsides or issues.

“No prior experience needed”

Pros

The software is really easy to use as you do not need any prior experience when using it.

Cons

There is nothing for now that needs improvements as per me.

“clear snapshot of job status”

Pros

JOIN interface is really user friendly and it gives me a clear, fast snapshot of a job posting's current status.

Cons

What frustrates me is that I can't easily tell which automated emails have already been sent to applicants and which are still waiting.

“Free listings help small businesses”

Pros

Being able to publish free listings is a lifesaver for my small business and I depend on them to get noticed.

Cons

I am restricted to only two free ads which limits how much I can promote.

“Perfect candidate matching with reach”

Pros

As per my experience the candidate matching done by it is pretty perfect and the overall reach is excellent too.

Cons

To be honest I haven't noticed any downsides so far as the different plan levels all meet our needs.

“easy setup just works best”

Pros

I had no trouble setting it up and it just works the best.

Cons

To me the dashboard is a little cluttered and hard to navigate.

“publishes across multiple portals”

Pros

Once I set it up, my listings are published across several portals and I've experienced very friendly customer support.

Cons

I have noticed that account managers change pretty often but right now everything is working fine for me.

“Everything is organized in one place”

Pros

The application process is well organized and I can manage everything in one place which saves me a lot of time. Plus it is much simpler and easier to keep track of than LinkedIn or similar sites so posting to LinkedIn Jobs through it works better.

Cons

It is frustrating that with free job posts, I don't get a direct link to the listings the software creates. That makes it hard to know exactly where my job has been posted. I am not sure how big a deal that really is.

“candidates are stored in place”

Pros

It is fast and really simple to use. Also everything is stored in one central place means I can always locate my candidates.

Cons

Honestly I haven't noticed any downsides as everything seems complete and I can't find any disadvantages.

“Free listings for small budgets”

Pros

We are a social enterprise with nearly 200 employees. But like many organizations in the social sector, we basically have no budget for recruiting staff or for marketing. Here it has been a huge help because it lets us save, publish and pause our job postings whenever needed, all with just a few clicks which fits our limited resources perfectly.

Cons

Because we have only been using the free plan up to now I have not noticed any clear or meaningful downsides.

“Highly recommended easy tool”

Pros

JOIN interface is really easy to manage and very user-friendly. Overall I would highly recommend this tool.

Cons

I can only publish two job listings for free which I find a bit limiting.

“simple and uncomplicated interface”

Pros

I like how easy it is to use. In short everything seems simple and uncomplicated.

Cons

There are no real downsides as it works fine.

“Reaches a larger candidate pool”

Pros

Using it I've been able to reach a much larger pool of people with appropriate profiles and it also frees up extra time so I can spend more attention on the candidates I've shortlisted.

Cons

Honestly I have not managed to get full value from all of the features because I simply haven't had enough time to explore them properly.

“Highly visible staff selection”

Pros

It is very visible and highly effective when I am choosing staff.

Cons

I'd like to see more filtering options such as being able to filter by men, women or nationality.

“completely free to use”

Pros

What I like most is that I can use it completely free of charge.

Cons

Well I am not sure because for now everything about it works well.

“Posts ads across platforms”

Pros

I like that it places job ads across a lot of different platforms for me.

Cons

Having a link to the application tool I already use would have been really helpful.

“simpler job posting process”

Pros

Posting job ads is simple and I have definitely seen the application process get much better over time.

Cons

The ability to store email templates in multiple languages so I can select them as reply options would be great.

The thing I like most about JOIN is how well it helps me find every kind of staff.

Cons

At the moment I don't have any complaints to mention as everything it provides me right now seems suitable.

“free posts with a small fee”

Pros

JOIN is very user-friendly and easy to use. Also you don't need a subscription as two job posts are free and you can buy more for a small fee.

Cons

In our HR team we use Hansalog as our HR software. So it would be great if applications could be imported there directly.

Its value for money is excellent and I really like how easy it is to use.

Cons

For now I do not have any complaints or issues to report.

“automatically posts to multiple boards”

Pros

I am really impressed by how user-friendly the tool is and I like its modern, polished look. Also automatically posting to multiple job boards saves me a lot of time and hassle. I haven not yet tried the ad marketplace but the offers look interesting and worth checking out.

Cons

Sorting and filtering in lists could be better and I wish there were more flexible customization options. Also the number and control of automated emails need improvement.

“Reaches a wide audience with ease”

Pros

The thing I like is that I can view applicants resumes and it is really easy to use. Also I able to reach a very wide audience with it.

Cons

At times I notice knockout criteria for candidates are not taken into account.

“Two free job postings included”

Pros

JOIN is pretty easy to use and user friendly. Plus it includes everything I need to manage a position well. They even give two free job postings so if I do not hire often it helps me cut costs and it lets me post on LinkedIn and other job boards for free.

Cons

It is clear the software is improving very quickly but what bugs me most right now is that I cannot tag candidates for future searches or set reminders to follow up properly.

“simple and easy layout”

Pros

Overall I find the entire layout very simple and easy to use.

Cons

The thing that frustrates me most is that I cannot edit entries afterward so unfortunately I have to recreate them from scratch.

“Quickly shares across platforms”

Pros

The interface is user friendly and I can quickly share job postings across other platforms with ease.

Cons

Having to log in every time just to view things like my resume and cover letter is really frustrating and slows me down.

Well I am not unhappy with the product but it would help if suggested channels were provided for each area.

Cons

The application process through social media feels a bit complicated to me.

“broad visibility across multiple outlets”

Pros

I am impressed by how broadly JOIN shares job openings as it does not limit them to its own site or social media. So yes I'd definitely recommend it if you want to increase visibility. And because it brings something new such as posting vacancies across multiple outlets and portals which I find particularly useful.

Cons

Everything about this tool is good and I have not noticed anything that I can call an issue.

“Trial includes two job postings”

Pros

One thing I really like is the simple, user-friendly layout and the trial version that includes two job postings.

Cons

For me there is no downside as I only see benefits and nothing to lose.

“one-time entry posts everywhere”

Pros

The service gives you two free job posts and I find it really quick and easy to use. It also publishes listings to major job boards so I don't have to enter everything more than once.

Cons

On my dashboard archived applicants sometimes still show up with the active candidates which is confusing. I feel like there should really be a separate archive section or maybe I just missed it?

“Brings best qualified candidates”

Pros

Not only is the software easy to use but it also brings me the best candidates.

Cons

Sometimes candidates don't submit a clear CV which isn't the tool's fault really..

“automatically pushes to recruitment sites”

Pros

It is really easy to use and I appreciate that job openings are automatically pushed to recruitment sites. I also like the option to allocate ad budget for extra visibility.

Cons

So far I have not found any real drawbacks though I wish there were a simple way to share CVs with colleagues. For example a view-only link so people can see documents without needing to create an account.
