Don't take our word for it.

Talent-dense teams already trust Needle to run their hiring.

Finally an ATS that's built for agents, not humans to click around. We plugged in via MCP and made our first three hires in weeks.

With Needle, we always know exactly where every candidate stands - right from Slack. It helped us grow the team from 12 to 30+ in weeks. Absolute game-changer.
