What is CurriculoATS?

Curriculo ATS is an AI-native applicant tracking system built specifically for startups with 5–200 employees. Founded by Dev Rishi Khare, an ex-Amazon ML engineer, it uses signal-based scoring instead of keyword matching, evaluating candidates on measurable impact (revenue generated, teams scaled, systems built) rather than buzzword frequency.

Curriculo ATS is the only ATS with a built-in candidate network of 10,000+ professionals whose resumes are already structured for clarity through the Curriculo resume builder. This dual-sided approach means cleaner data entering the system and faster, more accurate screening. Pricing starts at $0 (free Starter plan with 5 active jobs) and scales to $100/month for Pro (early bird: $50/month, 50% off) with no per-seat fees.
