Build vs. buy
Custom ATS vs. off-the-shelf
Rigid SaaS makes you bend your business to their fields. A custom ATS is built around how you actually work.
Fit
Off-the-shelf SaaS (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday)
You force your hiring process into their fixed stages and forms.
Kleap custom ATS
Built to your exact hiring flow — your pipeline stages, your scorecards, your fields.
Data
Off-the-shelf SaaS (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday)
Candidate data is locked inside their cloud.
Kleap custom ATS
Your candidate records live in your own per-app database — exportable anytime.
Cost
Off-the-shelf SaaS (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday)
Per-recruiter or per-job pricing that climbs as you scale hiring.
Kleap custom ATS
Flat — add every recruiter and hiring manager, no per-seat tax.
Changes
Off-the-shelf SaaS (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday)
Wait for their roadmap, or pay for a higher tier to unlock a field.
Kleap custom ATS
Ask the AI in plain language and the pipeline changes in minutes.
Lock-in
Off-the-shelf SaaS (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday)
Exporting your candidate history is painful the day you switch.
Kleap custom ATS
Export the code and your data to GitHub anytime — no lock-in.
Skip the $25k custom-ATS build — the AI builds it.
A custom ATS is one of the internal tools you can make with Kleap's AI internal tool builder. Add sign-in so only signed-in users can open it; ask Kleap to limit access to your team's accounts and test it with a second account before sharing.
Ownership
Your ATS, your data
It's a real app that belongs to you. the code, the database, and the domain. not a rented seat in someone else's platform.
You own the code
Your ATS is a real app you can export to GitHub. not a config trapped inside someone else's platform.
Your own database
Records live in your app's own database, not pooled in a vendor's cloud with everyone else's.
Your own domain
Publish on your custom domain so it's your ATS, on your brand. not a subdomain of theirs.
No per-seat lock-in
Add your whole team without per-seat pricing, and leave anytime with your data intact.
Why it works
An ATS shaped like your hiring, not a fixed funnel
Kleap builds around how your team actually hires instead of forcing you into someone else's stages. Here's what that means in practice.
Your stages, not theirs
Describe how you actually hire and Kleap builds the pipeline stages — not a fixed applied → hired funnel that fits no one.
Candidates that fit your roles
The fields and tags match what you screen for — skills, seniority, location, work authorization.
Structured, fair decisions
Scorecards capture each interviewer's feedback so you hire on evidence, not whoever spoke loudest.
Every résumé in one place
Résumés, notes, and links stay on the candidate, searchable, instead of buried in an inbox.
Refine by chatting
Add a stage, a field, or a scorecard question just by saying it — no config screens.
Your candidate data, owned
Records live in your own database, exportable anytime, with no per-recruiter pricing.
Illustrative preview
A real app, not a spreadsheet
Your ATS runs like software your team already knows. a clean dashboard with your records and your stages. This is an illustration; the AI shapes the real layout around how you work.
- Your data and your fields. nothing generic
- Live on the web, on any device
- Refine it by chatting. no config screens

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is an AI ATS builder?
An AI ATS builder turns a plain-language description of how you hire into a custom applicant tracking system — the pipeline stages, job postings, résumé storage, scheduling, and scorecards you need — without rigid templates or setup. With Kleap you describe your hiring flow and the AI builds the app.
Is it free to build an ATS with Kleap?
Yes. You can describe your hiring flow and generate a working ATS for free, preview it live, and keep refining it in chat. Advanced options like a custom domain are available on paid plans.
Can I tailor the ATS to how my team hires?
That's the point. Kleap builds around your actual process — a fast pipeline for a recruiting desk, a hiring committee for a nonprofit, candidate-and-client tracking for a staffing agency — instead of a one-size-fits-all funnel.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe your stages, roles, and scorecards in your own words and Kleap builds it. You refine it by chatting, not by writing code or configuring databases.
Should I build a custom ATS or buy one off the shelf?
Off-the-shelf systems like Greenhouse, Lever, or Workday give you fixed stages and per-seat pricing you adapt to. A custom ATS is built around your exact pipeline — and you own the code and candidate data, with no lock-in. Kleap builds one from a plain-language description.
How much does it cost to build a custom ATS?
A traditional custom-ATS build with a dev agency can run tens of thousands of dollars. With Kleap you describe what you need and the AI builds it — free to start, so you skip the agency invoice entirely.
Can it schedule interviews and store résumés?
Yes. Résumés, notes, and links stay attached to each candidate, and you can wire in Google Calendar so interview rounds, times, and interviewers are tracked without double-booking.
Do I own the ATS and its candidate data?
Yes. Your ATS is a real app: the candidate data lives in your own per-app database, you can publish on your own custom domain, and you can export the code to GitHub anytime. There's no per-recruiter lock-in.
Can experts build and run the ATS for us?
Yes — that's Kleap Enterprise. Our team scopes, builds, and maintains the ATS for you with custom integrations, SSO, dedicated support, an SLA, and a custom plan priced to your organization.
