Hire someone
Recruitment creates context from the moment you start hiring. Post a role, share one application link, and keep that context in the same workforce record after they accept.
▸ The story starts before day one
Hiring, onboarding, time off, activity and a weekly AI team brief in one place. Free forever for up to 10 people. No card needed.
One connected workforce record.
Most free tools give you a collection of features. Careersome Light gives you a connected foundation. Hire someone. Onboard them. See their activity. Follow their journey. Manage time off. Every part contributes to the same workforce record, so when your team grows, your understanding grows with it.
Employees log meaningful work against projects and tasks. Those contributions help build a clearer picture of what is moving, what has stalled, and where attention may be needed. That context powers your weekly Workforce Story and Journey checkpoints, with no keystroke logging, screen capture, or surveillance.

Every Monday, Careersome reads hiring, activity, journeys, time off, and people changes. The result is a clearer starting point, not another dashboard or report. The story your team is already creating.
Light is the free plan for teams of up to 10.
