When you are choosing tools to hire tech talent in Latin America, you may be comparing Get on Board with a standalone applicant tracking system (ATS). This article is for companies and recruiters. It explains what you get with Get on Board — a talent marketplace, a first-party Talent Database, a free ATS, and salary data — compared with a product that only tracks the applicants you already have.
What a standalone ATS does, and what it leaves to you
A standalone ATS organizes candidates once they are in your pipeline: stages, notes, evaluations, and team collaboration. It does not bring you candidates. You still source talent elsewhere, pay separately for sourcing tools, and find your own salary references. The ATS starts empty, and filling it stays your job.
What comes with Get on Board
Get on Board includes an ATS, and it arrives with the pieces a standalone ATS leaves out:
- A talent marketplace. Post a job and start receiving applications from active tech professionals across Latin America.
- A first-party Talent Database. Search and reach opted-in candidates who keep their own profiles current. See What is Talent Database?.
- Superpower AI. It ranks and summarizes applicants so you shortlist faster, on plans where it is enabled. See What is Superpower AI and what does it include?.
- Salary data through Insights Pro. Benchmark LatAm tech compensation by role, stack, and seniority. See How to benchmark tech salaries in Latin America.
Get on Board vs a standalone ATS
| Get on Board | A standalone ATS | |
|---|---|---|
| Candidates | Comes with applicants — post a job and receive active tech talent | Empty pipeline; you bring your own candidates |
| Sourcing | First-party Talent Database of opted-in LatAm tech professionals | None; integrate and pay for sourcing separately |
| AI screening | Superpower AI ranks and summarizes applicants | Add-on or absent |
| Salary data | Available through Insights Pro | Not included |
| Pricing | Flat plans, no success fees, unlimited team members | Per-seat licenses plus add-ons |
| Setup | Hosted and ready to use | Integration and configuration overhead |
What is free and what you pay for
The ATS comes with your Get on Board account at no separate license fee, and you can receive and organize applicants right away. To unlock a candidate’s full contact information you need a pay-as-you-go unlock or a subscription plan. Searching Talent Database is open to every company; unlocking a profile to contact it uses monthly credits included with subscription plans. Insights Pro is a separate product, not part of a recruiting plan.
When each option fits
Get on Board fits when you want sourcing, applicants, screening, and salary data in one place, without stitching tools together or paying per hire. A standalone ATS may be enough when you already have a steady candidate flow and only need somewhere to track it — though you will still source talent and benchmark salaries elsewhere.
