Keep TalentLyft, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace TalentLyft you would be making jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 88 of the 101 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade. It costs $735 a year.
What you could make
- Applicant tracking: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. TalentLyft’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
