Overview
JazzHR is an applicant tracking system (ATS) built for small and mid-sized business hiring teams, positioned by its owner, Employ Inc., as a simpler and more affordable alternative to enterprise ATS platforms. It covers the recruiting workflow from job posting through offer letters: automated resume parsing, customizable hiring workflows, interview scheduling, candidate evaluations, structured assessments, and built-in reporting. JazzHR reports serving 10,000+ hiring teams.
Employ Inc. also owns Lever and Jobvite, positioning JazzHR as its entry-level product for smaller teams while Lever and Jobvite target larger, more complex hiring organizations. JazzHR's own AI feature, TalentFit, surfaces candidate-to-job skills-match recommendations inside the applicant tracking workflow.
JazzHR does not integrate directly with traditional financial ERPs such as SAP, NetSuite or Oracle. Instead, its documented integrations run through its Marketplace and connect to HRIS, payroll and PEO platforms -- including BambooHR, UKG, Gusto, PrismHR, Justworks, Greenshades and GoCo -- plus job boards, background-check providers, assessment vendors and sourcing tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter and Indeed.
