Our Mission
Recruitment is one of the most consequential business processes - yet most teams still manage it through spreadsheets and email threads. Treegarden exists to change that.
We build recruitment and HR software that is fast to implement, genuinely intuitive to use, and designed for hiring teams across markets - including GDPR compliance, local job board integrations, and support in multiple languages.
Our goal is simple: make the path from job opening to great hire as short and frictionless as possible, then seamlessly transition the new employee into a well-managed HR lifecycle.
Founder
Treegarden was co-founded by Calvin Botez, a recruitment professional with 12+ years of international experience hiring for high-growth technology organisations across Europe, North America and APAC.
His specialism is Applicant Tracking System (ATS) selection, implementation and operations. Calvin has implemented or operated production ATS environments on eight platforms: Treegarden, BambooHR, Teamtailor, iCIMS, Paycor, SAP SuccessFactors, Taleo and Workable. The day-to-day reality of working across that many disparate platforms, each with its own gaps in GDPR compliance, jobboard distribution, candidate experience and reporting, is what led him to co-found Treegarden.
Past recruitment work includes Docker, AlphaSense, BCG Digital Ventures, Ve Global and Harte Hanks. Connect on LinkedIn.

How to Evaluate Treegarden
We do not publish an aggregate customer rating on this page. The best way to evaluate whether Treegarden fits your hiring environment is to review the product, its published commercial terms and security information, then validate the workflow against your own requirements.
- Review current Treegarden pricing, including active-job tiers, annual commitments and monthly instalment options.
- Review Treegarden security and privacy information before assessing data, access and compliance requirements.
- View Treegarden's public product profile on GetApp.
Implementation timing depends on data migration, integrations, team size and rollout scope.
