Top Echelon
Stands out: Split and network deals with partner recruiters handled inside the ATS.
Watch out: No MCP, and it only makes sense if splits are part of how you work.
Not the right fit for

Stands out: A published per-user price for staffing front office plus reporting, rather than a quote.
