What Team Engine is
Team Engine is recruiting and retention software for field-based, deskless, and multilingual workforces. It distributes job postings through multiple channels, screens and tracks applicants, and automates text confirmations and interview scheduling. For workforce communication, it handles SMS and WhatsApp messages, group announcements, surveys, and translation for Spanish and other languages. Automated workflows cover applicant follow-ups, onboarding and exit surveys, milestone notices, and employee referrals. HRIS and payroll connections synchronize details such as hires, terminations, shift groups, and supervisor assignments; most connections are one-way, while Inova supports two-way syncing. Web, Android, and iOS access are available. The mobile app focuses initially on messaging and push notifications rather than every desktop action, while employees can receive messages without installing it.
