Useful for cross-platform job posting and mornitoring. It was easy to try the app out with two free job posting.

Pros

With JOIN, we were able to create job ads with AI and the feature was not that bad. It also integrates easily with personio and recruitee.

Cons

The domain name join.com seems to have gotten lot of bad reputation of fake job listings on reddit and we are worried this could be tied to our company.

Für einen Geschäftskunden habe ich einen Firmeneintrag bei JOIN einrichten sollen. Es wurde geworben mit einer kostenlosen ersten Stellenanzeige, doch JOIN weigert sich bis heute, den Firmeneintrag freizuschalten mit einer nicht nachvollziehbaren Begründung. Es ist wirklich schade um die verschwendete Zeit, die auf das Einpflegen der ganzen Daten nun sinnlos draufging. Diesen Vorgang finde ich ungeheuerlich und meine Kunden und ich wissen nun, dass JOIN nicht empfehlenswert ist.

Pros

Leider kann ich im Moment keine positiven Worte zu JOIN finden.

Cons

Die Freischaltung des Firmeneintrags meines Kunden wude zunächst verzögert und dann aus fadenscheinigen Gründen nicht gestattet.

Mit dem Support hatte ich schön öfter negative Erfahrungen... in der Regel wollen Sie Anfragen innerhalb von 48h beantworten - was an und für sich schon sehr lange ist - aber immer dann wenn es wichtig war, wurden diese 48h deutlich überschritten, dafür gabs dann ein vorgefertigte Standardantwort die mein Problem nicht gelöst hat... es ging v.a. um Bugs bezüglich Inserate, welche zu Teil abgebucht wurden - aber nicht geschaltet wurden, oder ab die falsch kategorisiert wurden. Habe schon vorher überlegt zu wechseln - werde es jetzt aber definitiv tun sobald die laufenden Rekrutierungen abgeschlossen sind.

Pros

Ganz ok, wenn der Zugang denn funktioniert.

Cons

Mein Konto wurde gesperrt wegen angeblich "fehlender Zahlungen" - netterweise wurde auch gleich in Link zur Rechnungsübersicht an die Information angehängt... allerdings sind selbst im System von JOIN selbst ALLE Rechnungen als bezahlt markiert.

I was scammed by a "company" that Join shared in LinkedIn. Allegedly, they do not check the reliability of the job offers that they post. I wrote to the company and they think it is a serious thing. I am very disapointed.
