Kula

The only AI-Native ATS, built by recruiters, for modern hiring

Visit Kula

Kula is an AI-native applicant tracking system that brings sourcing, screening, interviews, scheduling, and analytics into one platform. It is designed to replace fragmented hiring stacks where recruiters move between separate tools for sourcing, scheduling, note-taking, and reporting, keeping candidate data and context in a single workflow.

Core capabilities include a built-in sourcing and CRM module with automated outreach and talent pools, AI-powered resume scoring and candidate summaries, structured screening workflows, smart scheduling with calendar syncing and automated reminders, and an AI notetaker that auto-fills scorecards and generates interview summaries. Conversational analytics lets users query hiring data in plain language, with dashboards covering pipeline progress, EEO and diversity reporting, and team performance. The platform offers more than 100 integrations across HRIS, job boards, and background checks, along with a Kula API and Kula MCP for developer use. Security and compliance features include SOC 2 Type II, GDPR-ready data protection, SSO, role-based access controls, and ongoing fairness audits.

Kula is positioned for startups, mid-market companies, and enterprises, with workflows that scale from early-stage hiring to cross-regional, cross-functional recruiting operations. Pricing is based on company headcount rather than per-seat licensing, with all features, unlimited AI usage, data enrichment, integrations, and support included in every plan. Annual billing is the standard, with flexible payment terms available, and the platform offers migration support for teams switching from another ATS.
