Hiring pipelines
Set the stages for each role and move candidates across a shared board. A move can send the next test or task by itself.
Run your hiring with software you control.
OpenATS keeps jobs, candidates, assessments, interviews and offers in one place, on your own servers. No per-seat pricing, and your candidates’ data never leaves your hands.

Everything your hiring team needs
The core of a hiring process, built in. AI CV notes are optional and off by default.
Candidate scores
Answers, assessments and interview scorecards add up to one score, with every part shown.
Assessments
Timed tests with a server-side clock, graded automatically. Written answers wait for a person.
Take-home assignments
Send a brief and a hand-in form by private link, handed in once before the deadline.
Interview scheduling
Candidates pick an open slot. The interviewer gets a calendar entry and a Meet link.
Offers
Send the offer letter, see when it is opened, and record the answer when it arrives.
Hiring teams
Super admins see every job. Managers and interviewers see only the jobs they are on.
CV search
CV text is read on your own server, with no outside service, and is fully searchable.
Built on a proven open-source stack
Widely adopted tools your team already knows, so OpenATS is easy to run, maintain and extend.
