TalentHR
Simple HRIS for small businesses with applicant tracking and AI candidate scoring, free up to 10 users, paid from $2/user/mo.
From $2/user/mo Free tier 14-day free trial API
Bottom line
Low-cost HR system from Epignosis, the company behind TalentLMS, that bundles core HR, time off, onboarding and a simple applicant tracker. It is free for up to 10 users and $2 to $4 per user per month above that, so it suits small businesses where one person handles HR and hiring together rather than teams needing a dedicated recruiting tool.
Stands out for: Few HR systems put an ATS with a career page, CV autofill, AI job descriptions and a talent pool on a free plan, and Premium adds AI suitability scoring against each opening for $4 per user. It is rated 4.8 on Capterra across 64 reviews.
Watch out for: Paid plans require at least 15 users, so a 12-person company pays for 15, and candidate scoring, performance reviews and time tracking are Premium only. The vendor does not list job board multiposting; openings publish to its career page and can sync to a WordPress site.
