Best Applicant Tracking Systems for Remote Teams
Applicant tracking systems for companies hiring home-based staff, compared on scorecards, interview scheduling, candidate experience and whether hiring managers will actually use the tool from their own desks.
What this audience should prioritize
Remote hiring runs almost entirely through the ATS. Interviews, feedback and offer approvals happen in the software rather than in a hallway, so hiring managers have to adopt it. Research on this category names hiring manager enablement as the implementation step companies most often skip and later regret.
Greenhouse suits remote teams that want every interviewer scoring against the same scorecard, which keeps scores comparable when panels never sit together. The cost is high: Greenhouse is quote-based, with its mid-tier Plus plan estimated at $17,000 to $36,000 a year for companies of 101 to 250 employees. Ashby bundles interview scheduling, a candidate CRM and recruiting analytics, with a Foundations plan at $400 per month for companies of up to 100 employees.
Pinpoint is built for employers with 100 to 1,000 staff who treat employer brand and candidate experience as a hiring advantage, useful when the careers site is a candidate's main view of a home-based company. For smaller remote teams where hiring is a side job, JazzHR's Hero plan costs $1,000 a year billed annually or $99 a month billed monthly, and Workable starts at $299 a month billed annually for companies with 1 to 20 employees. Neither JazzHR nor Workable includes a candidate CRM.

Frequently asked questions
Does a remote team need an ATS with built-in sourcing?
Only if recruiters reach out to passive candidates rather than waiting for applications. Lever pairs its ATS with CRM functionality for teams with three or more recruiters doing outbound work. Pinpoint relies on integrations such as LinkedIn Recruiter or Gem for sourcing, and JazzHR has no sourcing tools at all.
