What Recruit Flow does instead

Is JazzHR an ATS?
JazzHR is smb ats. It usually includes a light hiring module, but the pipeline, scorecards, and candidate tracking are not the primary product. Teams making more than a hire a month typically pair it with a dedicated ATS.
How much does JazzHR cost vs RecruitFlow?
JazzHR is priced per-employee (or per-seat), so cost scales with your headcount. RecruitFlow is a flat $149/month — every hiring manager, every job, every candidate included. For a 20-person team, RecruitFlow is usually 3–6× cheaper if hiring is the pain.
Can I use JazzHR and RecruitFlow together?
Yes — that is the recommended setup. Keep JazzHR for payroll, records, and PTO. Use RecruitFlow for pipeline, scorecards, and candidate follow-up. They don't overlap.
Who should not use RecruitFlow?
Teams that need payroll, benefits enrollment, PTO tracking, or an HRIS. RecruitFlow is a hiring/ATS product — it doesn't try to be HR software. If those are your primary needs, use JazzHR (or Gusto, Rippling, BambooHR).
