Hire as a team,
not in silos.
Scattered feedback across email, Slack and spreadsheets. Hiring managers who never log into the ATS. Interview notes buried in personal notebooks. When your hiring process is spread across six tools, good candidates fall through the cracks and bad decisions go unchallenged. Treegarden brings your entire hiring team into one workspace — with team chat, structured feedback, controlled sharing and integrations with the tools they already use.
The collaboration problems that slow down every hiring team
These are not edge cases. They are the default experience when your hiring process lives in email threads, chat apps and shared drives instead of one system.
Feedback scattered across email, Slack and spreadsheets
The recruiter sends a CV by email. The hiring manager replies with two lines. A colleague comments in Slack. Someone else adds notes to a shared Google Doc. Three weeks later, nobody can reconstruct what was actually said about the candidate or why they were moved forward.
Hiring manager delays stall the pipeline
The hiring manager needs to review five candidates but never logs into the ATS. The recruiter chases by email. A week passes. The best candidate accepts another offer. The role stays open another month because the feedback loop was too slow.
No audit trail on hiring decisions
A rejected candidate asks why they weren't selected. The recruiter checks the ATS — no notes. The feedback was in a Slack thread that's since been archived. Nobody can confirm who made the decision, when or on what basis. Compliance risk increases with every undocumented rejection.
Candidate information trapped in silos
The recruiter has the full candidate profile. The hiring manager has a forwarded CV. The interviewer has handwritten notes from a call. Nobody has the complete picture. Every handoff loses context, and candidates notice when they're asked the same questions twice.
One workspace for your entire hiring team.
Seven collaboration capabilities that replace scattered conversations with structured, auditable hiring teamwork.
Team chat with AI commands
Every candidate profile has a built-in team chat. Post messages, share observations and use AI commands to generate interview questions, summarise CVs or draft rejection emails — all without leaving the candidate's page. Conversations stay attached to the candidate, not lost in a Slack channel.
@mentions and threaded discussions
Tag any team member with @mentions to pull them into a discussion about a specific candidate. Threaded replies keep conversations organised. Mentioned users receive real-time notifications in the ATS, by email or via Slack — depending on their preference.
Slack and Microsoft Teams integration
Push new application alerts, stage change notifications, interview reminders and @mention notifications to specific Slack channels or Microsoft Teams channels. Hiring managers who live in Slack or Teams stay in the loop without ever opening the ATS.
Candidate sharing with controlled access
Generate secure, time-limited sharing links for candidate profiles. Control exactly what the recipient sees — CV only, CV plus interview notes, AI match score, or full profile. External stakeholders can review and leave feedback without an ATS account.
Hiring manager portal
A simplified view designed for hiring managers who don't need the full ATS. They see only their jobs, their candidates and the actions they need to take — review, provide feedback, approve or reject. No training required, no feature overload.
Structured interview feedback collection
After each interview, interviewers receive a structured feedback form with configurable criteria — technical skills, communication, cultural fit and role-specific competencies. Each criterion is scored on a consistent scale. Feedback is collected independently to prevent anchoring bias, then aggregated into a scorecard.
Everything your hiring team needs to collaborate.
Fourteen collaboration features included as standard — no add-ons, no per-seat collaboration fees, no third-party tools required.
What hiring teams say
Before Treegarden, getting feedback from hiring managers was like pulling teeth. I'd send CVs by email, chase on Slack, then manually copy their replies into the ATS. Now they get a notification, open the candidate profile, leave structured feedback and I see it instantly. We cut our average time from interview to decision from nine days to three. The team chat alone has probably saved me an hour a day in back-and-forth messaging.
No per-seat fees for hiring managers.
Every Treegarden plan includes unlimited hiring manager and collaborator seats. Team chat, structured feedback, candidate sharing and Slack integration are included as standard — not gated behind enterprise pricing. Your whole team collaborates from day one.

Everything you need to know before getting started.
How does team chat work inside Treegarden?
Every candidate profile has a built-in team chat thread. Recruiters and hiring managers can post messages, @mention colleagues, attach files and use AI commands to generate summaries or interview questions — all without leaving the candidate's page. Conversations are tied to the candidate record, so context is never lost.
Can I connect Treegarden to Slack or Microsoft Teams?
Yes. Treegarden integrates with both Slack and Microsoft Teams. You can configure notifications for new applications, stage changes, interview reminders and team chat mentions to be delivered to specific Slack channels or Teams channels. Hiring managers who live in Slack or Teams never need to log into the ATS to stay informed.
How do I share candidate profiles with hiring managers who don't use the ATS daily?
Treegarden generates secure, time-limited sharing links for candidate profiles. You control exactly which information is visible — CV, interview notes, AI match score, or full profile. Hiring managers can review candidates, leave feedback and approve or reject — all from the shared link, without needing an ATS login.
What roles and permissions does Treegarden support?
Treegarden supports five distinct roles: Super Admin, Company Admin, Recruiter, Hiring Manager and Collaborator. Each role has granular permissions controlling access to jobs, candidates, reports, settings and team management. You can also configure agency or external recruiter access with restricted visibility scoped to specific job openings.
Is there an audit trail for hiring decisions?
Yes. Every action in Treegarden is logged with a timestamp and user attribution: stage changes, feedback submissions, interview scheduling, offer letters, rejections and team chat messages. The full audit trail is available on each candidate profile and can be exported for compliance or legal review.
How does structured interview feedback collection work?
After each interview, interviewers receive a feedback form with configurable criteria — such as technical skills, communication, cultural fit and role-specific competencies. Each criterion is scored on a consistent scale. Feedback is collected independently to prevent anchoring bias, then aggregated into a scorecard visible to the hiring team.
