Two different products

Teal perfects the hunt. ScoutJobs runs it.

Both can end in a tailored application and a tidy pipeline. The work to get there looks very different.

A week in the life

One seeker, one week, two outcomes.

A typical Monday-to-Friday for Marcus, a mid-level product designer hunting across time zones. Illustrative, not a real customer.

Which one is right for you?

If your situation looks like the left, Teal is a genuinely great choice. If it looks like the right, that's why we built ScoutJobs.

  • You value an ATS score and keyword-gap check before you hit submit.
  • You apply to a handful of carefully-chosen roles and enjoy the manual craft.
  • You want a generous free plan and don't need anything applying for you.
Pick ScoutJobs if

You want an agent.

  • You're employed and want to hunt without burning evenings and weekends.
  • You want more applications out the door each week without adding hours to your day.
  • You're hunting across countries / time zones and can't watch every board.
  • You want the applying done for you, with a board that fills itself.

FAQ

Things people ask before switching.

Short, direct answers. We don't sell against Teal. We describe two different products.

We tried hard to be. Teal is genuinely one of the best resume builders and ATS analyzers available: the designer controls, the 0–100% resume score, and the polished Chrome extension are all excellent, and the free plan is generous. The point of this page isn't that Teal is bad. It's that Teal and ScoutJobs solve different problems: Teal helps you run a better hunt; ScoutJobs runs the hunt for you.
