Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 9 of the 14 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade
Homerun is an applicant tracking system with a light HR side for small and mid-sized teams. Job posts and a career page carry the company's own story, candidates move through a visual pipeline with shared feedback, email templates and interview scheduling, and the HR side keeps employee profiles, time off, sick leave and documents. Plans are sold by job slots on a yearly contract.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Homerun, taken from its own pages and our grades.
The posts and careers page are meant to tell your team's story, and writing that takes time.
- 1
Best for small European teams hiring a few roles
Homerun makes your job posts and careers page look good and keeps hiring on one tidy board, with a light HR side for time off and records.
- 2
Paid plans start at about $122.15 a month
As its pricing page puts it: €109 per month for 3 job slots, paid annually (€139 paid monthly).

Web.
- 5
Job posts and career page
Job posts and a career page that tell the team's story, published to LinkedIn, Indeed and Google for Jobs.
- 6
Hiring pipeline
Candidates, team feedback and progress on one board, with email templates and interview scheduling linked to Google or Outlook calendars.
- 7
Structured hiring
A structured process that judges candidates on skills and potential rather than first impressions, to reduce bias.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 9 of 14
That is against the other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Homerun you would be making jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for small European teams hiring a few roles
Homerun makes your job posts and careers page look good and keeps hiring on one tidy board, with a light HR side for time off and records. There's a 15-day trial with no card. But prices are in euros, Core holds only 3 open jobs, and both plans tie you in for a year.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Core is €109 a month paid annually (€139 monthly), in euros, for 3 job slots, and a ten-person team pays that. It buys branded posts, tracking, scheduling and the HR side. That's between this category's middle and its dearer quarter, on a 12-month contract. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, but a 15-day trial with almost all of the hiring and HR features and no card. |
| Features | B | Branded job posts and a careers page sent to LinkedIn, Indeed and Google for Jobs, a shared pipeline, scheduling and structured hiring, plus an HR side with time off, sick leave, records and documents. The whole job for a small team. |
| Ease of use | C | No App Store rating on record. The posts and careers page are meant to tell your team's story, and writing that takes time. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with LinkedIn, Indeed, Google for Jobs, Google and Outlook calendars, Meet, Teams and Nmbrs linked. No phone or desktop app on record. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Homerun is for
- Great if you want your job posts to look like your brand, not a form
- Handy when you hire for two or three roles at a time
- Good for small teams that want hiring and time off in one tool
Who it is not for
- Tight if you have more than 3 roles open, as Core holds 3 job slots
- Skip it if a 12-month contract that renews unless you cancel 30 days ahead puts you off
- Not for you if you want a US dollar price, as it's euros or pounds only
Good to know
Good for
- Small European companies hiring for a few roles at a time
- Teams that care about how their job posts and career page look
- Companies that want hiring and basic HR in one tool
Worth knowing
- Prices are in euros, or pounds for UK buyers (Core is £99 a month paid annually); no US dollar price is shown.
- Both plans need a 12-month contract, paid monthly or annually, which renews unless cancelled at least 30 days before.
- A job slot holds one live job post at a time, so Core caps you at 3 open roles.
- The page's comparison table lists other plans (Light, Basic, Plus) at other prices than its plan cards; this listing uses the cards.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Homerun you would be making jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $1,465.74 a year.
What you could make
- Applicant tracking, employee records, time off and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board.
- It plugs into other products, LinkedIn, Indeed and Google for Jobs among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Homerun’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
