Why switch
Trello has no careers page, no application forms, no candidate portal, and no email capabilities. Every resume arrives via email, gets manually added to a card, and every status update must be sent separately. hire.page automates the entire candidate journey.
A Trello card can hold a name and some attachments, but it doesn't track application data, portfolio links, team reviews, or communication history. hire.page treats each candidate as a rich profile with full context — from application to offer.
Trello Standard costs $5/user/month, Premium $10/user/month. A 5-person team on Premium pays $50/month — for a tool with zero hiring features. hire.page gives you a complete ATS for $49/month flat.
