Candidate vs Teal

Start with the work you need to do

Candidate and Teal may suit different search habits. A useful evaluation begins with the repeated work you need to manage, rather than a long checklist of labels.

Candidate's centre of gravity is the application process and its connected timeline; assess whether that matches your main friction.

A practical workflow

Use the following as a working sequence, then adapt it to the companies and conversations in front of you.

• Identify the part of the search creating friction
• Compare how role context and interview history are kept
• Choose the workflow you can keep current

Keep the system workable

The right choice is the one that leaves your important context easy to find and maintain. Test it against a real search rather than an imagined feature list.

Candidate keeps this context together so a useful update after an application, conversation or exercise does not need to be copied across several tools.
