If you work in talent acquisition, you probably already know the problems. What is harder is knowing where to start when you are looking for solutions.
I hear this all the time from recruiters, TA leaders, and comp teams. They know something needs to change. They just cannot tell which kind of tech actually helps. That creates confusion long before anyone gets to a buying decision.
I have felt this myself.
The Real Challenge for TA Teams
The TA tech landscape is crowded. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of vendors and many overlapping ideas. A lot of tools sound similar on the surface.
The challenge usually shows up earlier than vendor selection. Teams struggle to:
- Pinpoint the problem they are trying to solve
- Understand which category of tool addresses that problem
- Narrow options down to something manageable
Most lists and reviews jump straight to recommendations. They rarely help teams connect day-to-day pain to the right type of solution.
That is why TA Tech Finder is great.
What TA Tech Finder Does
TA Tech Finder is a catalogue of more than 700 TA vendors, organized around problems and use cases.
The goal is clarity.
It helps answer practical questions like:
- Which tools focus on job description quality?
- Where do compliance and inclusivity tools fit?
- What category should I even be researching?
You can browse the site freely. An email is only needed if you want to save a shortlist and return to it later.
That approach alone makes it easier to think.
A Post from Stephen McGrath at RecFest UK
This topic really clicked for me after reading a LinkedIn post from Stephen McGrath.
Stephen and I met at RecFest UK 2025. If you have been, you know it is full of smart TA people sharing real experiences from the field.
In his post, Stephen wrote about a feeling many TA teams recognize right away. You know the problems you are dealing with. What takes more effort is figuring out where to begin when you look for solutions.
That observation stuck with me.
TA teams spend a lot of time translating pain into action. Low apply rates. Inconsistent job ads. Legal reviews that slow everything down. The missing piece is often a clear map from problem to solution category.
That is where TA Tech Finder becomes useful.
Why This Matters for TA Teams
Most TA teams work hard and move fast. When something is not working, the instinct is to add a new tool or replace an old one.
I have seen teams:
- Invest in sourcing tools when job ads were the real issue
- Blame recruiter behavior when job descriptions were unclear
- Add more systems when consistency was missing
TA Tech Finder encourages a pause. It helps teams focus on the problem first and the category second.
That shift alone saves time.
Where Ongig Fits In
Ongig appears in TA Tech Finder under Job Descriptions, which makes sense based on the problems we solve.
Ongig focuses on:
- Managing job descriptions at scale
- Keeping language consistent across teams
- Supporting compliance and inclusivity
- Improving readability and candidate engagement
- Integrating with ATS and HRIS systems
When teams raise concerns about apply rates, legal risk, or messy job content, those issues often trace back to job descriptions.
TA Tech Finder helps teams see that connection earlier in the process.
A Work in Progress That Is Already Useful
TA Tech Finder is still evolving. New tools and categories continue to be added.
That shows up in a positive way. The site feels practical and grounded in how TA teams actually think and work.
If you have ever wanted help narrowing the field before talking to vendors, this is worth exploring.

Why I Wrote This
I spend a lot of time talking with TA teams who feel stuck between knowing something is wrong and knowing what to fix.
At Ongig, we see this clearly with job descriptions. Teams notice low engagement, slow approvals, and inconsistent messaging. They often do not realize how central JDs are to those issues.
Tools like TA Tech Finder help teams diagnose before they buy. When job descriptions are the issue, Ongig helps teams improve them.
If you want to see how that works, you can request a demo and see Ongig in action.
