A Freshteam alternative for Indian companies

Freshworks stopped selling and renewing Freshteam in 2026, pointing customers to Freshservice for Business Teams. If you used Freshteam for hiring, you need a new home for your candidates. HireZeta imports your export in an afternoon and gives you a deeper pipeline than Freshteam had.
