HireHive review
A feature-rich ATS for small teams that need referrals and recruiter portals.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
HireHive is a cloud-based applicant tracking system for small and growing organisations and recruitment agencies. It brings together job-board and social-media posting, a hosted branded careers page, candidate and source tracking, AI-powered resume parsing, interview scheduling, scorecards, feedback, analytics, custom application forms, employee referrals and external recruiter collaboration. The platform is available on the web and through an API, with subscriptions based on active jobs.
The paid structure starts with Starter at $120 per month, covering three active jobs, a branded careers page, job-board integration, interview scheduling, unlimited users, an unlimited candidate database and chat support. Super costs $280 per month and adds multilingual application forms, an agency portal, Jobs API access, two-factor authentication and EEO data collection. Mega costs $500 per month and adds integrations and an AI Assistant. Enterprise includes all Mega features and a dedicated account manager. A 14-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
HireHive fits teams that want referral collection and external recruiter collaboration alongside core applicant tracking. Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar support the scheduling workflow, while API access and hosted pages, widgets and APIs support website connections. The product is a stronger fit when branded career presentation, candidate sourcing, structured feedback and recruiter access matter together. Teams hiring beyond three active jobs would need to move beyond Starter, and organisations seeking a lower-cost entry point should consider a different ATS. Smaller teams that need those portals and recruiting features in one system are the clearest match.
