Overview
Homerun is an Amsterdam-based recruiting and HR software vendor. Its ATS brings job posts, candidate applications, interview scheduling, and team reviews into one web application.
The product also includes branded career pages and application forms. Homerun introduced Homerun HR in 2025, extending its offering to employee-management workflows. The vendor describes its target audience as growing companies.
Its main operational constraint is plan sizing: ATS subscriptions limit active job slots, while HR tiers use employee-seat limits. The free trial also restricts candidate volume and live communications.
Homerun Decision Snapshot
A quick way to understand who this product may suit, where its limits matter, and which facts are most relevant before you compare alternatives.
Best suited to
Growing small and midsize organizations seeking a shared recruiting workflow, branded career pages, and interview coordination without an enterprise-focused system.
Look elsewhere if
Teams needing extensive enterprise recruiting controls, unlimited active job postings, or API access during the free trial should verify plan fit before adopting Homerun, and should evaluate alternatives such as Teamtailor or Tellent Recruitee instead.

Homerun Gotchas & Operational Limits
These are documented constraints or practical friction points that may matter before you adopt the product.
ATS subscriptions are annual commitments; cancellation notice must be sent at least 30 days before renewal.
Buyers should plan procurement and renewal decisions around a yearly contract rather than assume monthly cancellation.
Evidence source ↗Published ATS plans limit active job slots, and publishing another active role at the limit requires closing a job or upgrading.
Recruiting volume and overlapping vacancies can affect plan fit even when older jobs are archived.
