Oryx review
A capable free ATS for small teams that can work within a focused web workflow.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Oryx is a web-based applicant tracking and structured hiring platform for small and growing businesses. It brings job advertising and distribution, custom application forms, candidate pipelines, applicant profiles, interview guides, scorecards, live video interviews, scheduling, email templates, and talent pools into one workflow. Unlimited team members are supported across its plans, while active searches shape the usage limits. It suits teams that want a defined hiring process without an enterprise-focused recruiting system.
The pricing structure starts with a free Starter plan that does not require a credit card. Starter includes job ads and distribution, custom application forms, candidate pipelines, interview guides and scorecards, video interview calling, and scheduling. Pro is listed at $97 per month with the same highlighted capabilities. Premium adds everything in Professional plus an account manager and premium customer support; its price is not shown here. For small teams, Starter provides a practical way to organize hiring before committing to a paid tier, while Pro appears aimed at teams that need a paid plan without a different listed feature set.
Oryx’s strongest area is structured candidate evaluation. Screening questions and document requests can shape applications, bulk actions speed up filtering and invitations, and independent interviewer scoring supports candidate comparison. Personalized booking pages and live video calling also keep interviews within the same workflow. The tradeoff is a narrower platform footprint: Oryx is web-only and does not cover integrations, a career site, or parsing. Choose it for a focused, structured hiring process with up to 10 active jobs on the free plan; choose an alternative if broader ecosystem coverage, mobile access, or more advanced recruiting infrastructure is essential.
