What is Factorial?

Factorial is an all-in-one HR platform for small and mid-sized businesses, spanning recruiting and onboarding, time tracking and shift management, document handling, payroll, performance reviews and HR analytics. Its applicant tracking module covers job posting, pipeline management and handoff to onboarding without a separate system, which is the main appeal: one platform rather than an ATS plus an HRIS plus a time tracker. Two points for evaluation. Pricing is modular and per employee, reported from around $8 per user monthly with a free tier and trial available, but the total depends heavily on which modules you enable, and reviewers note the price has risen more than once. And breadth comes at the usual cost: the ATS is adequate for steady hiring rather than high-volume recruiting, so agencies and fast-scaling teams will find dedicated recruiting platforms stronger on sourcing and screening.
