If you're evaluating a Factorial alternative specifically for recruiting, the key question is: do you need a full HR suite, or a specialized ATS to close positions faster across multiple clients?
Factorial is an HR management suite — time off, payroll, documents, performance reviews, and recruiting in one system. It's the right choice when you want to centralize a company's entire HR operation. The recruiting module is functional, but it's not the core of the product.

Factorial is an HR management suite — time off, payroll, documents, performance reviews, and recruiting in one system. It's the right choice when you want to centralize a company's entire HR operation. The recruiting module is functional, but it's not the core of the product.
Klyver is the option for multi-client recruiting agencies, RPO operations, and TA teams that need a real-time client portal, multi-currency invoicing, and pipeline by requisition. Built for the agency model — not internal HR.
Choose Klyver when your main need is closing positions faster — a recruiting agency, a multi-client TA team, or an RPO process. Choose Factorial when you need to manage your entire HR operation: payroll, time off, documents, and recruiting in one system.
Factorial's recruiting module lets you post jobs and manage candidates at a basic level. However, it lacks agency features: no real-time client portal, no per-position invoicing, and its AI parsing is more limited than a specialized ATS like Klyver.
