enfue vs spreadsheets
Many teams start hiring with Excel or Google Sheets and an email inbox. enfue keeps applicants, interviews, evaluations and reports in one place, and pulls in applicants from job boards automatically.
Side by side
How Spreadsheets and enfue handle the main parts of hiring.
Built for
Spreadsheets
Any kind of list or calculation. Hiring is one of many things people use them for.
enfue
Hiring only: jobs, applicants, interviews, evaluations and reports for small and mid-sized companies.
Careers site and job posting
Spreadsheets
None. Jobs are posted on each job board by hand and applications arrive in different inboxes.
enfue
A personalised careers page and jobs listing, sharing to LinkedIn, Facebook and Threads, and an application form you can embed on your website.
Pipeline and collaboration
Spreadsheets
A status column per row. Feedback lives in comments, chats and emails, and two people can overwrite each other's changes.
enfue
One board across all jobs with five stages you can rename, drag and drop, assignees, custom evaluation forms, tasks, notes and a history of every change.
Sourcing and talent pools
Spreadsheets
Past candidates stay in old files and inboxes, and are hard to find again.
enfue
Talent pools that the AI assistant Fil searches and ranks for new jobs, a Chrome extension to add candidates from LinkedIn, and pre-qualified TalentSpike candidates.
AI
Spreadsheets
Copilot in Excel and Gemini in Sheets can help with formulas and summaries, but they don't read CVs against a job by themselves.
enfue
An AI match score out of 100 with a summary of strengths and gaps on every applicant, a spoken AI interviewer, an AI interview recorder and an AI chat bot.
Interviews and scheduling
Spreadsheets
Scheduled by email and calendar invites, with the result typed back into the sheet.
enfue
Interviews get a Microsoft Teams or Google Meet link, and your Google Calendar or Outlook meetings show alongside them. Zoom is not supported.
Reporting
Spreadsheets
Built by hand with formulas and pivot tables, and only as accurate as the last update.
enfue
Reports that build themselves: hiring health, funnel, pipeline, recruiter activity, team performance and sources, shared as a PDF link or exported to CSV.
Integrations
Spreadsheets
Connect to almost anything through add-ons and automation tools, if someone sets them up.
enfue
Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Google and Microsoft calendars, LinkedIn and a Chrome extension, with custom integrations on request.
Vietnam and Southeast Asia
Spreadsheets
Work in any language, but applicants from ITviec, TopCV or VietnamWorks are copied in by hand.

App in English and Vietnamese, ITviec and TopCV connected through your employer login, other local boards forwarded to each job's own email, and payment by VietQR.

About Spreadsheets
Spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets are where most small teams start tracking candidates: one row per applicant, a status column, and CVs saved in email or a shared folder. They cost little or nothing, everyone already knows them, and they can be shaped to any process. The work grows with volume: copying CVs from inboxes and job boards, chasing interview feedback, and building reports by hand.
What Spreadsheets does well
- Free or already paid for, and everyone on the team knows how to use them.
- Completely flexible: any columns, any layout, any process.
- Good for a handful of roles a year with a few applicants each.
- Easy to share a quick list with a manager or a client.
Which one should you choose?
Choose Spreadsheets if
- You hire a few people a year and get only a handful of applicants per role.
- One person does all the hiring and no one else needs to give feedback.
- You don't need applicant data, reports or a careers page yet.
Choose enfue if
- Applicants come from several job boards and inboxes and you are tired of copying CVs.
- Several people interview and you need their feedback in one place.
- You want reports on your hiring without building them by hand, and a careers page candidates can apply on.
