JazzHR

JazzHR is an AI-powered applicant tracking system (ATS) built primarily for small and mid-sized businesses that want a straightforward way to manage hiring without heavy enterprise complexity. On its website, JazzHR positions the product as a recruiting platform that helps teams move from job posting to offer more efficiently by centralizing sourcing, applicant tracking, collaboration, and reporting. Formerly known as The Resumator, JazzHR was founded in 2009 by Don Charlton in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company raised $24.7M in venture funding (including $6.6M Series C led by Volition Capital with Salesforce Ventures and Birchmere Ventures in October 2017) before being acquired by Jobvite/Employ Inc. in April 2021. JazzHR now operates as part of the Employ Inc. portfolio (backed by K1 Investment Management) alongside sister brands Lever and Jobvite, with 150-250 employees in the JazzHR unit out of Employ Inc.'s 785+ total employees. The current CEO of parent company Employ Inc. is Steve Cox (note: some sources may reference Dara Brenner). At the core, JazzHR supports job posting and syndication to 20-50+ boards (including Indeed, LinkedIn, Monster, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter), applicant tracking, and workflow automation to reduce administrative work during hiring. The pricing page highlights plan-based packaging organized into Hero, Plus, and Pro tiers with transparent public pricing starting at $49-110/month. Entry plans start with a limited number of active jobs and allow customers to add additional jobs for approximately $9 per job per month. A key differentiator is unlimited users included across all plans, making it particularly attractive for SMBs. Higher tiers include AI-powered candidate matching (via spring 2025 'Rapid Recruiting' update), AI-generated job descriptions and interview questions, automated candidate ranking and screening, task automation helpers, and reporting capabilities (60+ dashboards in some descriptions) intended to make it easier to prioritize candidates, keep processes consistent, and understand pipeline performance. The Pro tier includes custom/visual reporting builders, offer letter generator, and eSignature integration. JazzHR also promotes recruiting add-ons such as Candidate Texting (Text-to-Hire), which enables SMS-based engagement with job seekers and is priced by monthly conversation volume. Features include embedded texting in JazzHR, workflow helpers, a mobile companion app, SSO, and usage reports, suggesting a product strategy that combines core ATS functionality with optional, consumption-aligned extensions. Additional capabilities include customizable recruitment workflows, candidate scorecards and collaborative feedback, JazzHR Crowd (benchmark analytics for hiring), recruiting performance reporting with compliance tools (EEOC/OFCCP support), interview scheduling, background check integrations, onboarding checklists, and career page hosting. For compliance and security, JazzHR publishes legal documentation including a GDPR Data Processing Addendum, and an Employ Inc. Security Exhibit that references maintaining SOC 2 Type II certification, CCPA compliance, and lawful data transfer mechanisms for EU personal data transfers. The company is headquartered at 1501 Reedsdale St #403, Pittsburgh, PA 15233. JazzHR offers verified integrations spanning job boards (LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, Monster, ZipRecruiter), HRIS/payroll (BambooHR, ADP, Namely, Zenefits, Paylocity, UKG), communication tools (Slack, G Suite, Outlook), background checks (Checkr), assessments (HackerRank), and recruiting tools (LinkedIn Recruiter). The platform maintains high user ratings (4.4 on G2, 4.3 on Capterra) and provides award-winning US-based customer support. Pricing is published for standard plans with Hero starting at $49-110/month, Plus at $229-350/month, and Pro at $349-420/month (with variations between annual and monthly billing). A 14-day free trial is available. The platform serves SMBs, mid-market companies up to 500 employees, HR teams of one, and non-profit organizations.
