Where they pull apart

HeyJobs

Stands out: HeyAssessment screening is included in the budget, reviewing applications and using live chat to check qualifications, interest and reachability. Ads run on Google, Meta, TikTok, Xing and 50+ other channels, backed by a talent pool of more than 4.5 million people.

Watch out: HeyJobs is not an applicant tracking system, so pipelines and offers stay in another tool. The €400 HIRE entry still carries a €1,200 minimum budget use, and prices are published in euros only.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams looking for an ATS or HRIS
  • Employers hiring outside DACH
  • Buyers wanting per-user software pricing

Workable

Stands out: A hosted MCP at mcp.workable.com, with sourcing and assessments inside the ATS.

Watch out: Texting and video interviews are add-ons on the entry plan rather than included.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies that need a staffing CRM
  • Enterprise HCM selections

Pros and cons

  • Not an agency staffing CRM
  • Price steps up sharply to Premier
