Bringboard is a free, web-based applicant tracking system for software development agencies and technology companies. It follows hiring from a branded careers page through candidate pipelines and interviews. Teams can customize stages, candidate fields, filters, notes, tags, and archived outcomes for multiple positions. Careers portals support custom domains, automatic SSL, and Google Jobs structured data. Candidate communication includes email threads, templates, merge fields, custom sending domains, and bounce handling. Google Calendar connects interview scheduling with availability rules, candidate self-booking, and Google Meet links. Workflows can respond to candidate or application events by sending emails, moving stages, or updating fields. Enrichment can use LinkedIn experience, education, and skills, while GitHub data can show repositories, technology stack, and contributions. Position dashboards report applications, sources, geography, interviews, and campaigns. Roles, access controls, and a tamper-proof audit log support administration. Bringboard says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is restricted and logged, and associated data is deleted within 30 days after account closure, subject to legal retention. It is in open beta, with public API and webhooks in progress.
