Factorial

A modular HR platform where every plan includes Factorial Core and recruitment is one of the modules that can be added to a tailored plan.

HR suite

When to consider it

Consider it when you want applicant tracking, onboarding, and employee records in one EU-hosted HR platform and your hiring volume does not need a dedicated recruiting tool.

What to weigh up

The price depends on the modules chosen and the per-user basis, and the published pages do not state job or user allowances for recruitment. Confirm how candidate-facing content is localised before you rely on it for multilingual hiring.

Facts before the demo

Hosting

Factorial's privacy policy states that the data it processes is hosted and processed in the EU, and that its service providers are generally in the EEA or in countries with an adequacy decision. It also says some data may be transferred to processors in third countries under standard contractual clauses.

It accepts API keys or OAuth 2.0, and non-admin credentials see a narrower set of candidates. Confirm that your plan includes API access.apidoc.factorialhr.com (opens in a new tab)Checked Oct 2026
