Live siteA full-featured ATS for small teams: hiring pipeline management, candidate profiles, job posting dashboard, and recruiter collaboration tools.
Enterprise ATS tools are overbuilt and priced for HR departments with six-figure software budgets. padats.com is built for a team of 2–10: a clean kanban pipeline for moving candidates through stages, structured profiles that stay consistent across roles, and public listing pages that auto-generate per job without extra configuration.

The Problem
Enterprise ATS tools are overbuilt and expensive for small hiring teams. Spreadsheets are the de facto alternative, but they break down quickly when you have more than a few open roles and multiple reviewers. There was a clear gap for a clean, affordable ATS for teams of 2-10.
The Process
Focused on the pipeline kanban as the primary interaction: drag candidates between stages (Applied → Screened → Interviewed → Offered → Hired). Built the candidate profile with structured data fields that stay consistent across roles. Job posting dashboard generates a public-facing listing page per role.
The Solution
A clean ATS with kanban pipeline management, candidate profiles with structured interview notes, job posting with public listing pages, and multi-recruiter collaboration with role-based permissions.
What Was Built
- Kanban pipeline: Applied → Screened → Interviewed → Offered → Hired
- Structured candidate profiles with interview notes

Behind the Build
The kanban pipeline was the anchor interaction everything else was designed around. Getting drag-and-drop right without a heavy library (we used the native HTML drag-and-drop API with touch fallback) took significant iteration. The PAD ecosystem integration — candidate data flowing between padjobs, padats, and padhr without duplication — required careful API design to keep each service independently useful.
