What is the difference between HR software and a job board?

Answer

A job board is a marketplace where postings compete for attention. HR software is your system of record for hiring: where applications land, how your team evaluates people, and how you communicate with candidates.

You may still advertise on job boards, but applications should flow into your HR software so nothing lives only inside a third-party inbox. That is how you keep candidate experience consistent and reporting accurate.
