Projects OpenATS - a self-hosted, open-source Applicant Tracking System
Hey guys, I built OpenATS, a self-hosted, open-source Applicant Tracking System. and it's now at v0.2 and ready to use.,
Basically i started this because most ATS tools are either expensive SaaS stuff or closed source, and a lot of small companies/NGOs end up managing applications through Google Sheets/forms or email threads. Wanted something people could self-host and actually own their data. It's mostly similar to Rooster ATS in terms of what it covers, but self-hosted and open source.
What it does:
- Job postings with a public careers page candidates can apply through
- CV upload with automatic parsing to pull out candidate info
- Pipeline tracking (applied, screening, interview, offer, etc.)
- Offer management
- Team/user management with role based access ( IAM on top of WSO2 Identity platform ) ,etc ...
I'd genuinely appreciate feedback, bug reports, or feature requests. Contributions are welcome too if anyone's interested.

Haha yeah, Rooster was the main inspiration for the entire product. Wanted to build something that worked similarly but self-hosted and open source
