Where PontaHR fits
If your team is nearer ten to a hundred people and you want unlimited seats across several hiring managers, PontaHR is a sensible fit.
PontaHR vs Rolefern.
PontaHR is an applicant tracking system aimed at companies of roughly ten to a hundred people who want to move beyond spreadsheets without taking on an enterprise suite. It offers unlimited users and listings, and more advanced features such as AI-assisted shortlisting on its higher plan. Teams with several hiring managers often appreciate its generous seat model.
Where Rolefern fits
- One flat company price with every feature included, rather than a Start and a Grow plan to weigh up.
- Candidate email threads, interview kits and scorecards are standard, not reserved for a higher tier.
- We stay focused on small teams, so there is less to set up before you review candidates.
- Free assisted migration, and data hosted in the EU on AWS Frankfurt.
