JazzHR

Cheapest credible SMB ATS at $49-$359/month.

By Employ Inc. · Founded 2009 · Pittsburgh, PA · private

JazzHR is the cheapest credible SMB ATS, owned by Employ Inc. (parent of Lever, Jobvite). The product's strengths: lowest pricing in category at $49-$359/month, simple subscription model, and strong fit for very small companies (1-50 employees). Trade-offs: feature depth limited vs Workable, post-Employ stagnation similar to Lever, and Support response times vary.
