Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Breezy HR
- The free Bootstrap plan allows one active position or candidate pool at a time
- Unlimited positions, EEOC reporting and video interviews all require Startup at $157 a month
- Scorecards, interview guides and e-signatures need Growth at $273 a month
- HRIS integrations, offer management and custom roles are Business tier at $439 a month
- API access and advanced reporting are only on Custom Pro, which is quote-based
Indeed
- Search ranking is influenced by which employers pay for sponsored placement, so prominent listings are not purely a match to relevance or seeker preference.
- It shares the same parent company, Recruit Holdings, as Glassdoor, so treating the two as fully independent sources of employer information overstates their independence from each other.
- Listing quality varies widely since postings are aggregated from many sources, and duplicate, expired or low-quality listings are a common complaint.
- One-click apply can encourage high volume, low-tailoring applications, which employers increasingly filter out with their own screening tools regardless of Indeed's reach.
- Resume and application data uploaded to Indeed is used across its own products and shared with employers a user applies to, which is the trade for the free service.
