The ATS Built for Startups Like Yours
Enterprise ATS platforms charge enterprise prices and ship enterprise complexity. CurriculoATS is built for teams of 5–200 who need speed, AI scoring, and a free plan to start.
Why Enterprise ATS Doesn’t Work for Startups
$15K+/year for hiring software
Greenhouse costs more than your first employee. Your hiring budget should go to people, not tools.
Weeks of implementation
You need to hire NOW. Enterprise ATS takes 2–4 weeks to set up with a dedicated implementation manager.
Per-seat pricing punishes growth
Adding team members shouldn’t cost more. Enterprise ATS charges per seat, penalizing you for growing.
Features you’ll never use
Complex compliance workflows, multi-region approval chains, 400+ integrations. You need a pipeline and AI screening.
How CurriculoATS Solves This
$0 to start, $50/mo to scale
Free Starter plan (3 active jobs). Pro is $50/month flat — no per-seat fees, no hidden costs.
15-minute setup
Sign up, post a job, start receiving candidates. No implementation manager, no training sessions, no onboarding calls.
Flat pricing, no seat fees
$50/mo covers your entire team (up to 10 members). Add a co-founder, a hiring manager, and your VP of Eng for $0 extra.
Signal-based AI screening
Every candidate scored 0–100 on measurable impact. Screen 50+ applicants in under 20 minutes. No keyword-stuffing games.

Do I need an ATS if I’m only making my first hire?
You don’t need one, but a free ATS eliminates the spreadsheet chaos early. CurriculoATS’s free plan costs nothing and takes 15 minutes to set up.
Is CurriculoATS really free?
Yes. 3 active jobs, AI screening, impact scoring. No credit card. No trial period. Free forever.
What happens when we outgrow the free plan?
Upgrade to Pro ($50/mo) for unlimited jobs, analytics, team collaboration, and API access. Your data stays, nothing resets.
Can a non-technical founder set this up?
Yes. CurriculoATS is designed for founders with no HR or technical background. Most are posting their first job within 15 minutes.
How is this different from just using LinkedIn?
LinkedIn is great for sourcing. CurriculoATS is for screening and pipeline management. Use both: source on LinkedIn, evaluate with CurriculoATS’s AI scoring.
