Bottom line
Circa is still sold as Mitratech Circa for OFCCP-style job distribution, ESDS posting, veteran outreach documentation, and diversity recruiting. Pricing is sales-quoted. Mitratech has owned Circa since 2023.
Stands out for: It automates state ESDS job-bank postings and documents good-faith outreach across a claimed 15,000-plus community organizations. Dashboards track applicant flow and outreach for audit files.
Watch out for: US OFCCP affirmative-action rules were rolled back in 2026, so the compliance pitch has changed even though the product is still on the price list. There is no self-serve rate card. Ignore Capterra's $600/mo starting price.
Overview
Circa distributes jobs, documents outreach, and keeps an audit trail that federal contractors historically used for OFCCP. It posts to state employment service delivery systems, logs protected-veteran outreach, and reaches community partners. Analytics cover applicant flow and diversity metrics.
Mitratech acquired Circa (with Trakstar) in 2023. The product remains in the Mitratech HR portfolio as Mitratech Circa. Capterra rates it 4.4 from 29 reviews. Path to buy is sales. The 2026 OFCCP rollback means many US buyers will use it as diversity distribution and documentation rather than a mandate checkbox.
Who it's for
Best for
- Federal contractors that still need ESDS posting and outreach files
- HR compliance teams documenting veteran and disability recruiting efforts

Not ideal for
- Companies that only need a cheap job board with no compliance archive
- Buyers who need a published monthly price before a sales call
