Which one fits you
Choose Workable if you hire continuously across many roles, want sourcing and integrations in a mature product, and $299 USD a month is fine.
Choose Staffkin if you hire a handful of people a year, want a scored interview guide and reference checks without add-ons, and want onboarding paperwork (TD1, WHMIS, probation) in the same tool.
