An in-house ATS and an agency platform do different jobs
Recruitee and Teamtailor are excellent ATSs for companies hiring for themselves. Hirō is built for recruitment agencies hiring for many clients: client CRM, placements and outreach at the core. If you run an agency desk, here is how they differ.

This is not really a head-to-head. Recruitee and Teamtailor are built for internal HR teams hiring for their own company: one employer brand, a careers site, job ads, colleagues collaborating on the same vacancies. At that job they are genuinely good, and if that is your job, you should probably keep them.
A recruitment agency does a different job. You work for many clients at once, sell placements, prospect for new business and get paid on deals. That takes a client and candidate CRM, placement and offer revenue, and outreach at volume: the things Hirō is built around. Here is how the two shapes compare.
Where Recruitee is strong: Recruitee and Teamtailor are excellent in-house ATSs: branded careers sites, multi-board job posting and collaborative hiring workflows that internal HR teams genuinely enjoy.
An in-house ATS has one employer: you. An agency desk needs companies, contacts, addresses, sectors and outreach history, a real client CRM tied to candidates through interviews, offers and signed revenue.
Internal teams receive applicants; agencies go get the market. Hirō runs place-a-candidate, find-a-profile and prospection campaigns with mass email and funnels, to clients and candidates alike.
An agency runs on signed placements, pipeline revenue and per-recruiter performance, with gamified targets to keep the desk moving. That is the dashboard Hirō ships, not time-to-hire for one company.
One flat seat price with everything included, next to a typical Recruitee setup.

Only if you run an agency. If you hire for your own company, Recruitee and Teamtailor are excellent in-house ATSs and probably the right choice. If you place candidates with clients and bill for it, Hirō is built for that job: client CRM, placements, revenue and outreach in one platform.
A client side to your database (companies, contacts, deals and outreach history, not just vacancies), placement and offer revenue tracking, and outbound campaigns with mass email. We also import your existing candidates and clients for you, free, during your trial.
Not yet, it is on the roadmap. Today Hirō focuses on sourcing, your own database and direct outreach, which is where most agency placements are actually won.
