Frappe HR

People ops you host. Frappe HR is GPL-3.0 — BambooHR and Greenhouse without the employee or applicant seat.

The problem

BambooHR is the rented HRIS: employees, leave, and a handbook. Greenhouse is the rented ATS: jobs, applicants, and interview kits. Frappe HR (GPL-3.0) covers employee records, leave, attendance, payroll, and recruitment (requisitions, openings, applicants, offers). It sits on the Frappe stack and wants ERPNext. This is not BambooHR's benefits marketplace or Greenhouse's sourcing network.

FAQ

BambooHR or Greenhouse?
Same box. BambooHR is the employee record. Greenhouse is the applicant record. Frappe HR has both. A sales CRM stays on /replace/hubspot.
Why ERPNext?
Frappe HR is built on that stack. You host the framework plus the HR app. It is more moving parts than a single binary.
