The Softgarden alternative for companies that need more than basic recruiting
Softgarden gets you out of spreadsheets. Tellent Recruitee gets you powerful reporting, automations, career sites, and an easy expansion to a full HR platform, when you're ready.
For companies that want more from their hiring processes
Softgarden feels like a win for companies just starting to professionalize their hiring. But what happens when your hiring starts scaling?
With Softgarden, you can’t:
-
Customize your workflows to match your hiring processes — unless you reach out to support
-
Create your own reports to show the metrics leadership actually wants to see
-
Expand beyond DACH, as Softgarden only works in German and English
-
Add performance management, or time tracking on the same platform, with the same interface.
Modular expansion
Start with recruitment today. When you need core HR and performance management, you can add our Tellent HR Manage and Grow modules.
New releases every month
Get access to new features and AI capabilities throughout the year. Improve your workflows as Tellent Recruitee gets more powerful.
Go international
We’re strong in DACH, Benelux, and France. Work with local experts who understand local regulations and speak your language.
Build reports with the metrics that matter to you
Add predefined reports to a board or create custom reports from scratch. You choose your own metrics, filters, chart types, and control who sees what. You can even build custom diversity reports.
No more email ping-pong to book interviews
Tellent Recruitee's event scheduler integrates with Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple iCal. Send candidates a link with your availability, they pick a time… and done.
Create and update your processes whenever you need to

Reach candidates wherever they are
Candidates can apply via WhatsApp. You can send them interview scheduler links, updates, and questions directly, to speed up communication during hiring.
Unlike Softgarden, ours is a native integration. You don’t have to go through a 3rd party vendor to use WhatsApp.
