The answer, as recorded
# Best ATS for remote teams Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd recommend looking at them: **1. Ashby** - My default recommendation for remote-first startups and scaleups (roughly 20-500 people). It bundles ATS, CRM, sourcing, scheduling, and analytics in one tool, and the native scheduling handles multi-timezone interview panels without bolting on a third-party scheduler (Greenhouse needs an integration for this). Seat-based, transparent-ish pricing. Best analytics in the category if you care about pipeline data. **2. Greenhouse** - The pick if structured hiring matters more than speed. Interview kits and scorecards enforce consistent, written evaluation, which is exactly what you want when you never meet candidates in person and panels review async. Deep configurability (custom fields, conditional workflows, approval chains) and the widest integration ecosystem. Heavier to set up and pricier. **3. Workable** - Best for small teams that want to be hiring next week. One-click posting to a large set of job boards, AI-assisted sourcing, fast implementation, and - notably - pricing published on the website. Less sophisticated than Ashby or Greenhouse, but the lowest-friction honest choice under ~50 employees. **4. Lever** - Worth it if sourcing passive candidates is a big part of your motion. True ATS+CRM in one, with nurture campaigns that re-engage past applicants. Opaque pricing and a real learning curve on the CRM side. **5. SmartRecruiters** - The enterprise/global option. Strong multi-country compliance tooling and AI candidate matching, which matters once you're hiring across many jurisdictions. **6. Teamtailor** - If employer branding is your bottleneck rather than process. Strong career-site builder alongside the ATS; popular with European teams. **7. Manatal or JazzHR** - Budget tier. Fine, functional AI-assisted ATS for small businesses where the alternative is a spreadsheet. **Two things that aren't an ATS but matter more than your ATS choice for remote teams:** - **Deel** or **Remote.com** for employer-of-record and global payroll. If you're hiring people in countries where you have no entity, this is the actual hard problem; all the above ATSs integrate with one or both. - **Async video screening** (HireVue, or the native async video in Workable/Teamtailor) plus **GoodTime** for cross-timezone panel scheduling. Async recording is the single biggest lever on remote hiring speed - it removes the timezone negotiation entirely. **Short version:** remote-first startup → Ashby. Need rigorous structured interviews or already past ~300 people → Greenhouse. Small and want it running immediately → Workable. Hiring across many countries → SmartRecruiters plus Deel.
