Alternative
A simpler Google Sheets alternative for small teams
Google Sheets is solid for solo recruiters, founders, anyone starting out. If you're a small team that wants the pipeline without the overhead, Recruit Flow is the calmer alternative.
Why people switch from Google Sheets
- No board view
- No timeline of changes
- Two people edit the same cell
What Recruit Flow does instead
- Sheets is the right starting point. Recruit Flow is what you graduate into.
- Upload your sheet and we'll map the columns automatically — your stages become a board, your notes get timestamped.
- You keep your CSV. We don't lock your data in.
