Hiring softwarebuilt for developer teams
Most ATS tools were designed for HR departments. Reqcore is open source, self-hosted, and built with a stack you already know.

Why Reqcore
Built different. Built for devs.
Hiring tools shouldn't require a procurement process. Deploy on your own infra, extend the source code, and scale without per-seat fees.
Your infra. Your data.
Your Postgres database, your MinIO storage. Cancel anytime — your candidate data stays with you forever.

Self-hosted storage with MinIO. Candidate PII never has to leave your private network.
Built with tools you already know. Easy to deploy. Easy to extend.
Why we're building this
Hiring software was built for HR.
We're rebuilding it for developers.
I'm building this because I needed an ATS that felt more like Linear than Workday.
Most recruiting software is built for enterprise HR departments — bloated UIs, per-seat pricing, vendor lock-in. As an engineer, I wanted something I could docker compose up, read the source code of, and extend when I needed to.
Reqcore is 100% AGPL-3.0 open source — in the same spirit as PostHog and Supabase, but for hiring. It's an early release. Not everything is built yet. But the foundation is solid, and it's improving every week.
If you're an engineering team that wants to own your hiring stack the same way you own your infrastructure — this is for you.
