The best ATS for small teams
Under 50 employees? You shouldn't be paying for your ATS.
Small teams get the worst deal with traditional ATS pricing. You need the same features as enterprise teams — pipeline management, candidate tracking, email templates — but you're paying enterprise prices on a startup budget. KiteHR was built for small teams: full-featured, free, and simple.

Why teams choose KiteHR
Built for teams of 1–50
KiteHR doesn't require an implementation project or a dedicated recruiter to run. It's simple enough for a founder, powerful enough for a hiring manager.
No per-seat penalty
Small teams wear many hats. The person who posts jobs, reviews resumes, and schedules interviews might be 3 different people — or just one. Either way, add them all for free.
Set up today, hire tomorrow
Create an account, post a job, and start reviewing applicants in under 10 minutes. No onboarding call, no implementation timeline.
Upgrade when you need AI
When you're hiring fast, AI resume parsing and candidate scoring save hours per week. Pro is $49/mo — less than most tools charge per seat.
What's included — free, forever
Pro — $49/mo per workspace
Unlock AI resume parsing, candidate scoring, job description generation, skills gap analysis, and more. One flat price for your whole team.
Frequently asked questions
What ATS features do small teams actually need?
Job posting, a way to track candidates through stages, team collaboration, and communication templates. KiteHR includes all of these free — plus a kanban board, resume storage, and custom pipelines.
What if our team grows beyond 50?
KiteHR scales with you — no user cap means you can grow without switching tools or renegotiating pricing. The free plan stays free as your team grows.
Can we use KiteHR for only one or two hires per year?
Absolutely. There's no minimum usage requirement. Use it for one hire and come back next year — no cost, no account expiration.
