Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Harry, the developer behind Hire Gnome. After years working with recruiting data systems and platforms like Bullhorn, I kept seeing the same pattern: small recruiting agencies were forced into expensive, complex ATS platforms that were clearly designed for much larger organizations. Many teams just wanted something simple. So I started building Hire Gnome — a lightweight, open-source ATS designed for small recruiting agencies and independent recruiters. The idea is straightforward: • keep the core recruiting workflow simple • allow teams to self-host and own their data • avoid the complexity of enterprise recruiting software Hire Gnome is still early and evolving, but the goal is to build a practical alternative for smaller recruiting teams. If you run a recruiting agency or work in staffing tech, I’d love to hear what features matter most to you. Thanks for checking it out!
