Bottom line
Recruitment module of the OrangeHRM HR suite for teams that want hiring inside their HR system rather than a standalone ATS. Job posting and a company website integration are free in the open-source Starter edition, while Advanced adds e-signatures and custom forms at a per-employee quote with a 30-day trial.
Stands out for: Basic hiring costs nothing, because the open-source Starter edition includes job posting and a company website integration. Advanced adds offer e-signatures, custom application forms and questions, and an interview assistant with predefined questions.
Watch out for: Advanced is priced per employee per month with no published rate, and the recruitment tools come as part of the wider HR suite. The free Starter edition stops before e-signatures, custom application forms and interview assistant automation.
