Built for the way small teams actually work

One Monday brief. Four engines feeding it. All free on Light.

Most free HR tools are demo ware that show you the same chart on every screen. Light is the real product, with the operational tools running underneath your weekly brief, capped to fit a team of ten.

01

Your Monday Story, written for you

Every Monday, Careersome reads your live data and writes a short paragraph in plain English about what changed in your team this week. Hires, leavers, time off, overdue reviews, all of it. The full brief unlocks on Pro, the preview is yours on Light.

Plain English, not pivot tables
02

Recruitment that feeds your Story

Post a role, share the application link, and Careersome groups every applicant into Best Fit, Potential, and Others before you open your inbox. Each hire, decline, and ghosted candidate becomes a line in Monday's brief.

67% fewer junk applications to wade through
03

Reviews and probation that feed your Story

Run review cycles with templates so HR and managers follow the same process, not five different Google Docs. Probation workflows track each new hire through their first 90 days, and every overdue check in surfaces in Monday's brief.

Up to 4 review cycles per year, included
Plus the rest of the engines, and the essentials your Story leans on:
  • Team directory
  • Org chart
  • Time-off requests and approvals
  • Onboarding playbooks
  • Role-based access
  • Reporting and insights

Sign-up takes five minutes. Your first job goes live the same afternoon.
