HERP
HERP is the most popular ATS among Japanese startups, designed for referral and team-based hiring. It auto-aggregates applicants from 30+ job boards (Wantedly, Green, Indeed, etc.) and brings the whole team into the hiring process via Slack.
Once you start hiring engineers or designers in Japan, you're posting on both Wantedly and Green, and spreadsheet tracking breaks fast. HERP's killer feature is dead-simple Slack integration — your engineering team flows naturally into hiring, feedback is shared instantly in Slack, and technical vetting accelerates decision-making.
Can it be used in Korea?
HERP is technically globally accessible, but its 30+ integrated job boards are Japan-based, making it low value for Korean hiring. For Korea, use local ATSs tied to Korean job sites like Saramin, JobKorea, or Wanted Korea.
Is there a minimum contract term?
Generally annual contracts. Specific terms are negotiated during sales conversations.
Can I migrate data from an existing ATS or spreadsheet?
Yes, CSV import is supported and the onboarding team assists with migrating candidate records and hiring history.
Does it integrate with chat tools other than Slack?
It's designed primarily for Slack. Check with the sales team about Microsoft Teams or other integrations.
