What You Get

A Full Hiring System, Small-Business Simple

Priced for a Small Business

Start free, then $200/mo when you are ready - not the $6K-$45K/yr enterprise ATSes quote a 10-person team. No per-seat tax, no module upgrades, no annual lock-in.

Live in Minutes, Not Months

Sign up, describe your first role, and the agent gets to work. No implementation project, no onboarding fee, no admin to train.

Run Hiring Without a Recruiter

Owners, office managers, and hiring managers - the agent does the recruiting legwork. You stay the decision-maker and approve who moves forward.

One Tool, Not Six

Applicant tracking, AI screening, candidate sourcing, scheduling, scorecards, and a careers page - all native. One login, one bill, nothing to stitch together.

Scales as You Grow

The same system works at 5 people and at 200. Add roles, hiring managers, and departments without re-platforming or a migration project.

Why VScout

Why Small Teams Choose VScout

An applicant tracking system that does the recruiting work, so a lean team can hire well without a dedicated recruiter.

AI

An Agent, Not Just a Database

Most small-business ATS tools only store applicants. VScout's agent writes the job description, sources candidates, screens every resume, and schedules calls - then hands you a shortlist.

$0

No Setup Cost, No Admin

Enterprise ATSes need implementation specialists and a full-time admin. A small business has neither. VScout needs neither - sign up and start hiring the same day.

Moving off spreadsheets and an inbox? Start here. VScout gives a small team a real applicant tracking system without the enterprise overhead.

How It Works

From Open Role to Shortlist

1

Describe the role

Tell VScout what you are hiring for in plain language. The agent drafts the job description and publishes a careers page in minutes.

2

The agent does the legwork

Candidates are sourced and every resume is screened and scored against the role - so a small team never wades through hundreds of applications by hand.

3

You decide who advances

Review a ranked shortlist with the reasoning behind each score, schedule interviews, and make the call. The agent assists - you hire.

Pricing

Free to Start. $200/mo When You Grow.

Free plan

Enterprise ATS: $6K-$45K/yr

$0/mo to start

Applicant tracking, AI screening, scheduling, scorecards, and a careers page - built in. Upgrade to Starter at $200/mo any time.
