Frequently Asked Questions

Does Breezy HR offer a free plan?

Yes. The Bootstrap plan is free forever and includes one active position, a branded career site, distribution to 50+ job boards, resume parsing in 20+ languages, and GDPR compliance tools. It provides access to candidates added within the last 30 days and one candidate pool. A separate free tier exists for Breezy Perform (performance management) covering up to 9 employees. Breezy also offers a 14-day free trial of all paid features with no credit card required.

How does Breezy HR handle pricing for growing teams?

All paid Breezy HR plans include unlimited users, unlimited candidates, and unlimited open positions. This means the monthly price stays flat regardless of how many hiring managers, recruiters, or open roles you have. Startup costs $157/month on annual billing ($189 monthly), Growth costs $273/month ($329 monthly), and Business costs $439/month ($529 monthly). Annual billing saves the equivalent of two months. The pricing model makes Breezy particularly cost-effective for companies with large hiring teams or many simultaneous openings.

What AI features does Breezy HR include?

Breezy Intelligence is an optional AI add-on starting at $30 per 100,000 credits. It includes three tools: Applicant Insights, which scores candidates against job requirements for skills alignment and experience relevance; Activity Summary, which uses NLP to condense interview notes and assessments into conversational overviews; and Resume Audit, which detects AI-generated fakes, copy-pasted tailoring, and low-quality resumes. New accounts receive 100,000 free Breezy Intelligence credits to start.

What HRIS and payroll integrations does Breezy HR support?

Breezy HR integrates with Gusto, ADP Workforce Now, and Namely for HRIS and payroll data sync. Export new hires directly from Breezy into these systems or import employee data from them into Breezy Perform. For background checks, Checkr is natively integrated. Breezy also connects with Slack, Google Calendar, Outlook, Indeed, and Bryq (assessments). A Zapier integration and REST API (Custom Pro plan) extend connectivity to hundreds of additional apps.

How does Breezy HR compare to Greenhouse for applicant tracking?

Greenhouse targets larger organizations with deeper analytics, a structured hiring methodology, and over 500 native integrations. Breezy HR targets small to midsize companies with a simpler interface, faster setup, and flat pricing that includes unlimited users and positions. Greenhouse charges per employee or per job, which scales costs with headcount. Breezy's Growth plan at $273/month (annual) includes scorecards, interview guides, and video assessments at a fraction of what enterprise ATS platforms charge. Greenhouse has stronger compliance tools for regulated industries.

Does Breezy HR support GDPR compliance?

Yes. GDPR compliance tools are included on all plans, including the free Bootstrap tier. Breezy provides EU data centers for EU and UK customers, automatic candidate consent collection, configurable data retention periods, and the ability to process candidate deletion requests. The platform supports multi-language configuration for career pages and the candidate-facing interface to meet localization requirements. Over 17,000 companies across 72 countries use Breezy, with GDPR features designed specifically for European hiring.

Does Breezy HR include onboarding features?

Onboarding is available as a paid add-on starting at $49/month, separate from the core ATS plans. The Onboard module creates automated, role-based onboarding workflows that sync with Breezy's ATS to guide new hires from offer acceptance through their first days. For businesses that need onboarding as part of their existing HRIS, Breezy's integrations with Gusto, ADP Workforce Now, and Namely can pass new hire data directly into those systems for onboarding there.

Who owns Breezy HR?

Breezy HR was founded in 2014 by Darren Bounds and is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina. In April 2019, Learning Technologies Group plc (LTG), a UK-listed education and talent management company, acquired Breezy HR. The acquisition integrated Breezy's ATS with LTG's existing talent products, including PeopleFluent. Breezy HR operates as a standalone product within LTG's portfolio. The company's security and privacy policies are managed through LTG's trust center at ltgplc.com/trust-center/.
