Recruitee has strong LinkedIn integration and a capable pipeline. But the Indeed gap, the enterprise-first development roadmap, and the support decline since the Tellent acquisition are leaving SMB teams frustrated.
Based on publicly available features and user reviews from G2 and Capterra (2025–2026).

Based on user reviews
These observations come from recurring themes in Recruitee user reviews on G2 and Capterra. They reflect real user experience, not speculation.
Recruitee has no native Indeed integration. Teams have to post manually to Indeed, then link the application back to Recruitee by hand. This is a well-documented pain point with no resolution reported in recent roadmap communications.
Following the Tellent acquisition, reviews indicate that approximately 90% of Recruitee's engineering resources are directed toward the Enterprise tier. SMB customers report slower feature development and a widening gap between what is promised and what is delivered at smaller plan levels.
Multiple reviews note that notes, comments, and structured candidate data collected in Recruitee are not recoverable on export. If your team ever moves platforms, the contextual information built up over years effectively disappears - a significant risk for data continuity.
Several reviews on G2 and Capterra specifically note the shift from live chat support to a slower ticketing system since the Tellent acquisition. Response quality and speed are described as having declined meaningfully compared to pre-acquisition experiences.
Treegarden
Fill in your job posting once and publish to Indeed, LinkedIn, Adzuna, ZipRecruiter, Jooble, Trovit, BestJobs, eJobs, and Talent.com in a single action. No manual posting, no copy-pasting, no linking applications back by hand.
Treegarden does not reserve its best tools for enterprise customers. AI match scoring, AI Recruiter, bias detection, auto-reject rules, and the full HR module are available to all users - not gated behind the most expensive tier.
Export everything - candidates, notes, activity history, evaluation scores - to Excel at any time. Your data does not disappear when you move platforms. Treegarden is GDPR compliant, ISO 27001 certified, and maintains a complete audit trail.
The Indeed issue was a dealbreaker. We were manually posting to Indeed and linking back every single time - for every single job. Treegarden posts to Indeed, LinkedIn, Adzuna and six others in one go. The time saving alone paid for the switch.
Recruitee's Starter plan starts at approximately $270/month. The Business plan - where most of the grown features live - runs $700–$1,000+ per month. Treegarden offers transparent pricing without putting the best features behind the most expensive tier.
