Six Months to Build an ATS? Maybe. A Good One? Not a Chance.
When we started building Candidly, we thought we could create a game-changing ATS in six months for under ￡300,000. Spoiler: we were wildly wrong.
Fast forward a few years (and over millions later), and we’ve learned that building an ATS that recruiters trust, candidates love, and hiring teams rely on isn’t just about throwing together some forms and a database. It takes AI, automation, deep integrations, and constant evolution—none of which happen overnight.
Yet, HR tech providers still claim they can build one in a few months. Maybe they can build something. But a powerful ATS that actually makes hiring easier? That’s a whole different story.

I wonder why more don't consider working with a company that white labels their tech?
