Free recruiting and HR tools
Free tier here means a permanent $0 plan you can keep using — not a timed trial that flips to paid. We tag tools ourselves from public pricing pages, and this list is editorial: sponsorship never boosts a card into Free. Trials are useful, but they are not free software, so they live in a separate strip below. Browse by category for permanent free options across recruiting and HR stacks, or open the full directory filter for free-tier listings.
