What is JOIN?
JOIN is an applicant tracking system for small and midsize hiring teams, mainly in German-speaking Europe, France and Spain, that posts jobs to more than 250 job boards at once and uses AI to draft job ads and propose a hiring pipeline for each role.
JOIN is an applicant tracking system operated by JOIN Solutions AG, registered in Pfaffikon, Switzerland, with further offices including Berlin, and founded in 2018. The platform centers on posting a vacancy once and distributing it to more than 250 paid and organic job boards, then managing applications, interview scheduling and team communication from one shared inbox.
JOIN reports more than 20,000 customer companies and is built for small and midsize hiring teams rather than large enterprise HR departments, though its customer list also includes larger names such as Zara and Accenture.
JOIN AI features and use cases
- Drafts complete job ads from a short briefJOIN's AI turns a short brief into a structured job ad with company, responsibilities, requirements and benefits sections, available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch. A recruiter can draft once and translate to other hiring markets in one click instead of writing each version separately.
- Suggests salary bands from market dataWhile building a job ad, the AI proposes a salary band based on market data for the role, giving a starting point for a compensation range instead of requiring separate benchmarking research.
- Flags biased or exclusionary languageThe job ad generator flags gendered, age-coded or ableist phrasing while drafting a job ad and proposes inclusive alternative wording in its place. JOIN states that final review of the text always stays with the recruiter.
- Proposes a hiring pipeline for each roleFor a new vacancy, JOIN's AI can propose a stage flow for the hiring pipeline instead of a recruiter building one from scratch, and the result can still be adjusted or replaced with a saved template.
What sets JOIN apart
- Prices per active job posting per month rather than per user or a flat organizational fee.
- Distributes a single job ad automatically to more than 250 paid and organic job boards.
- AI job ad generator drafts, translates and checks wording for biased language across six languages in one workflow.
- Names Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and Spain as its explicit core markets rather than positioning as a global tool.
Where JOIN is strongest
JOIN is legally headquartered in Switzerland as JOIN Solutions AG, but Germany is where the company originated and remains its largest market, accounting for about 45 percent of the site's traffic according to Similarweb and named as a core DACH market on JOIN's own homepage.
Questions to ask before you buy JOIN
Before adopting JOIN, confirm the per-job pricing against your typical number of open roles, since cost scales with active postings rather than staying flat, and check how the AI-proposed pipeline and screening questions fit an existing hiring process. Data is processed in Switzerland, the EU or the EEA under a GDPR Article 28 data processing agreement, and JOIN states on its website that it is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022.
Using JOIN in the EU: GDPR and AI Act

- EU AI ActAI in this area can count as high-risk (Annex III) when it is used for hiring, promotion or performance decisions. The high-risk obligations apply from December 2, 2027 (Digital Omnibus). Our guide to the AI Act in HR
- Works councilIn Germany, software that can evaluate behavior or performance usually requires works council approval (§ 87 (1) no. 6 BetrVG).

Questions about JOIN
How does JOIN's pricing work?
JOIN charges per active job posting per month rather than a flat company fee: the Standard plan costs €17 per job per month and Advanced €34 per job per month when billed annually, with Enterprise priced individually. A 14 day free trial is available on the Advanced plan.
Where does JOIN process candidate data?
JOIN states that data is processed exclusively in Switzerland, the EU or another EEA treaty state. Subcontractors used for this include AWS in Luxembourg and Google in Ireland, under a GDPR data processing agreement.
Does JOIN's AI screen or score candidates automatically?
No. JOIN's screening step uses knockout questions on the application form to filter obvious mismatches, and a human still reviews the results; the AI in JOIN is used for drafting job ads and proposing a hiring pipeline, not for scoring candidates.
