The open-source edition is the complete recruiting workflow: ATS, CRM, database search, sourcing projects, outreach sequences, interviews, advanced offers, reporting, and provider adapters on your servers and Postgres. Use your own services, or add Source Connect to Source ATS without moving the database.
