Ask HN: Demand for Open Source Applicant Tracking System?
Hi y'all,
I was wondering if companies would use a simple open-source Applicant Tracking System.
Right now, the only open-source-ish Applicant Tracking System is OpenCATS. However, OpenCATS is not on an OSI-approved license, and hasn't been updated too much in the last few years.
Thanks!
- brudgers 6y agoDoes the OpenCATS license create substantial business problems? Is OpenCATS missing important business requirements?
- rhc2104 6y agoI personally find OpenCATS's interface confusing. Also, it seems to rely on having the applicant enter structured data, rather than embedding the resume on the candidate's page, which is a worse experience for both the candidate and resume evaluation. As far as the license, this clause is limiting for some businesses: "You may not use the Licensed Software to operate in or as a time-sharing, outsourcing, service bureau, application service provider or managed service provider environment."
