Ashby** - My default recommendation for most remote-first startups and scaleups (roughly 20-500 people). It's one system for ATS, CRM, scheduling, and analytics, and the scheduling engine is genuinely the best at the thing that breaks remote hiring: coordinating panels across time zones without a recruiting coordinator. The analytics are the deepest of any modern ATS, so you can actually see where candidates stall by stage, source, and region. Starts around $400/mo, so it's not the cheap option. > > **2. Greenhouse** - The pick if structure and consistency matter more than speed. Interview kits and scorecards force every interviewer to assess the same things, which is disproportionately valuable when your panel never meets in a hallway to compare notes. Strongest integration ecosystem and the best built-in EEOC/DEI reporting. Quote-based pricing, and it's the heaviest to implement. > > **3. Lever** - Best if a lot of your hiring is outbound. ATS and CRM are native to the same system rather than bolted together, so nurturing a pipeline of passive candidate ## Brands named, in the order the engine gave | Position | Brand | How it was named | |---|---|---| | 1 | Ashby | recommended | | 2 | Greenhouse | mentioned | | 3 | Lever | mentioned | | 4 | Workable | mentioned | | 5 | Teamtailor | mentioned | | 6 | Manatal | mentioned | | 7 | Breezy | mentioned | | 8 | Breezy HR | mentioned | | 9 | AI-powered | mentioned | | 10 | SmartRecruiters | mentioned | | 11 | Deel | mentioned | | 12 | Remote | mentioned | | 13 | Oyster | mentioned | | 14 | Remotely Talents | compared | ## Sources the engine cited - https://www.remotelytalents.com/blog/applicant-tracking-systems-comparison (vendor) - https://www.lever.co/insights/best-remote-hiring-software (vendor) - https://index.dev/blog/greenhouse-vs-lever-vs-ashby-ats-comparison (other) - https://ashbyhq.com/compare/ashby-vs-greenhouse (other) - https://www.mokahr.io/articles/en/compare/ashby-vs-greenhouse (other) Permanent address of this answer: https://bikoosh.com/answers/s/applicant-tracking-systems-remote-teams-2026-10-22 ## Sources cited across the 22 recorded answers to this question Alphabetical; a domain with a record links to it. - 100hires.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/100hires.com) - arc.dev (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/arc.dev) - ashbyhq.com - augtal.com - authencio.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/authencio.com) - avahr.com - blog.easyhireai.com - checkr.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/checkr.com) - checkthat.ai (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/checkthat.ai) - compono.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/compono.com) - costbench.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/costbench.com) - deel.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/deel.com) - dover.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/dover.com) - dupple.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/dupple.com) - equip.co - fantastic.jobs - g2.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/g2.com) - gem.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/gem.com) - ghost.pin.com - greenhouse.com - grouglobal.com - gusto.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/gusto.com) - hireinsouth.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/hireinsouth.com) - hrtechsaas.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/hrtechsaas.com) - index.dev (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/index.dev) - jugglehire.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/jugglehire.com) - juicebox.ai (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/juicebox.ai) - leonstaff.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/leonstaff.com) - lever.co (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/lever.co) - mokahr.io (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/mokahr.io) - noon.ai - outsail.co (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/outsail.co) - peoplemanagingpeople.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/peoplemanagingpeople.com) - pin.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/pin.com) - pinpointhq.com - pitchnhire.com - pluralcareers.com - recruitee.com - remote.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/remote.com) - remotelytalents.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/remotelytalents.com) - resources.rework.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/resources.rework.com) - rippling.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/rippling.com) - selectsoftwarereviews.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/selectsoftwarereviews.com) - softwarefinder.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/softwarefinder.com) - spotsaas.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/spotsaas.com) - stackscored.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/stackscored.com) - technologyadvice.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/technologyadvice.com) - theundercoverrecruiter.com - treegarden.io (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/treegarden.io) - trustradius.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/trustradius.com) - ventureharbour.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/ventureharbour.com) - weworkremotely.com - workology.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/workology.com) - worktechdesk.com - yardstick.team - zapier.com (https://bikoosh.com/answers/source/zapier.com) Alerts and membership: Answer Watch Pro, 79 USD per month: https://bikoosh.com/answers.
