Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Comeet
- The assigned-step model assumes disciplined process ownership, and in companies that hire opportunistically recruiters bypass it, which leaves the reporting describing a process nobody follows.
- Pricing is quoted rather than published and scales with company size and hiring volume, so it cannot be compared against per seat or per job slot competitors without going through a sales cycle.
- Sourcing and candidate relationship management are thinner than dedicated tools, so passive outreach still happens in LinkedIn and is recorded after the fact.
- The 2023 acquisition by Spark Hire places an independent ATS inside a portfolio company, and buyers should ask for explicit standalone roadmap commitments before signing a multi-year term.
- Support and product hours have historically followed Israeli and US eastern time, which leaves European and Asia Pacific customers with narrow overlap for anything urgent.
JobAdder
- There is no native pay and bill chain, so contract staffing agencies must buy and integrate a separate timesheet and invoicing system and reconcile two sources of placement data.
- The product is strongest inside the SEEK footprint, and buyers in North America or continental Europe get weaker board coverage while paying the same per user rate.
- Analytics beyond standard activity and placement reporting require an add-on, which turns a competitive headline price into a higher effective one for data-driven agencies.
- Pricing is per user per month by quote with annual commitment, so agencies with fluctuating consultant headcount carry licences through quiet quarters.
- Support and product hours run on Australian time, meaning European and American customers frequently wait overnight for a response to anything the documentation does not answer.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Comeet: What is elastic recruiting?
Each step of a hiring process is assigned to a named person with a defined action and deadline, and the system tracks completion rather than leaving candidates in an unowned queue.
JobAdder: Who owns JobAdder?
SEEK, the Australasian job board operator, has held a majority stake since 2016, which is why the SEEK integration is deeper than a normal partnership.
Comeet: Who owns Comeet?
Spark Hire acquired it in 2023 and sells it alongside video interviewing and assessment products.
JobAdder: Does it handle contractor timesheets and invoicing?
Not natively. It integrates with dedicated pay and bill systems such as Astute Payroll, which adds a second vendor and contract.
Comeet: How is it priced?
By quote, based on company size and hiring volume, with unlimited users rather than per recruiter seats.
JobAdder: Is it suitable outside Australia?
Yes, and it has a real UK customer base, but board coverage and support hours are calibrated to APAC.
Comeet: Is it a good fit for low-volume hiring?
Not especially. The structure pays off when several people are involved in every hire and process delay is the real problem.
JobAdder: How long is implementation?
Days to a few weeks for most agencies, which is its main advantage over the heavier agency platforms.
