Big.Jobs review
A free, AI-assisted ATS for startups, with recruiting services available as a paid add-on.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Big.Jobs is a web-based applicant tracking system for early-stage startups and growing teams. Its free ATS includes career-site creation and hosting, job-board publishing, candidate management, employee referrals, AI candidate matching and ranking, interview scheduling, offer management, preboarding, analytics, and an AI Copilot. The Free Forever plan supports unlimited users and jobs, making it suited to teams that want a broad recruiting workflow without a recurring ATS subscription.
The product’s strongest point is the breadth of its free recruiting toolkit. Teams can move from attracting candidates through career sites, job boards, and referrals to managing pipelines, scheduling interviews with reminders, approving offers, and handling preboarding. AI matching and ranking add candidate-screening support, while the AI Copilot is included in the free plan. Slack is the listed integration, so Big.Jobs fits most directly with teams already working in Slack and comfortable managing the core system through a web interface.
The paid option is different from a conventional higher ATS tier. On-demand recruiter costs $999 per job per month and adds direct sourcing, targeted outreach, screening calls, assessments, coordination across interview stages, and expert guidance throughout the hiring process. That makes it relevant when a team wants recruiting assistance alongside the ATS rather than only additional software capacity. Big.Jobs is a strong choice for startups seeking a free, wide-ranging ATS with AI features and optional recruiting support. Teams that need a broader integration ecosystem, a non-web platform, or a lower-cost paid recruiting service should consider alternatives.
