For startups & scale-ups

Hire your first 100 people. Without the enterprise ATS budget.

Most ATS tools were built for companies with 10,000 employees and a dedicated HR team. Treegarden was built for the company you are right now - and the company you're becoming.

The startup hiring problem

Sound familiar?

These aren't edge cases. They're what startup hiring looks like before you put a real process in place.

01

You've tried three tools. One was a spreadsheet. One cost more than a junior salary. One took three weeks to set up and you gave up halfway through the configuration wizard.

02

You're posting the same job to four different boards manually. Every. Single. Time. Copy, paste, reformat, repost. Then manually check each one for applications.

03

You hired three engineers this month. Onboarding was a mess of Notion docs, Slack DMs, and things that got missed. Two of them still don't have all their tool access after week two.

Why startups choose Treegarden

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Designed to give a team of two the hiring power of a team of ten.

Serious from day one

Full ATS features from day one. Career page, pipeline, job board distribution, candidate management. No 6-month implementation. No "upgrade to see your own data." Just the tool.

Set up in 15 minutes, not 3 months

Create your account, add your company details, publish your first job, and start receiving applications. That's it. No implementation consultant needed. No kickoff call with a vendor. No 47-page setup guide.

One platform that grows with you

Start with ATS. Add HR when you need it - onboarding, performance reviews, leave management, compensation tracking. No data migration to another system. No new tool to learn. No switching costs.

AI does the heavy lifting

AI generates your job descriptions with keyword optimisation, scores every applicant, detects bias in your JDs before you post, and lets you search your candidate database in plain English. One person can hire like a team of five.

9 job boards, one form

Post to Indeed, LinkedIn, Adzuna, ZipRecruiter, Jooble, Trovit, BestJobs, eJobs, and Talent.com with a single form submission. Applications from all boards land in one pipeline. No logins. No reformatting.

Built for every stage

From first hire to Series B+, without starting over.

The platform grows with your headcount. You never outgrow it, and you never need to migrate.

Real startup, real outcome

"We tried three tools before Treegarden. One was literally a spreadsheet dressed up as software. The others were either priced for a Fortune 500 or took weeks to configure. Treegarden took 20 minutes and we hired 14 people in our first three months on it. We're still on it at 60 people - and the HR module just unlocked everything we needed at this stage."

When you're ready for HR

Your early employees deserve a real onboarding. Not a Notion document.

When a candidate accepts your offer, their employee profile is created automatically. No copying data from your ATS into a separate HR tool. No "did anyone send them the onboarding doc?" Slack message two days later.

An AI-generated onboarding checklist is assigned immediately. Leave management, performance reviews, and compensation all live in the same platform your recruiter was using yesterday.

  • Zero re-entry - accepted offer instantly creates the employee record
  • AI onboarding plans - generated for the specific role, automatically assigned
  • Leave + performance - built-in, no separate tool needed
  • 360° performance reviews - when you're ready to run them

No Google Sheet handoffs. No migration projects. The tool you started hiring on is the same tool that manages your team.

Your next great hire is out there. Go find them.
