Applicant tracking for nonprofits
Nonprofits hire carefully and not very often. You need a real process for the next program director or development hire, without paying for software built for corporate recruiting teams.
Why most hiring software is a bad fit for nonprofits
Big applicant tracking systems are priced per seat and per month, and built for recruiters who hire every week. A nonprofit that hires four times a year ends up paying for a tool nobody remembers how to use, or falls back to email and spreadsheets.
What you get with SealedApply
- Pay per hire, not per seat. Your first search is free, and every plan includes unlimited reviewers, so your board chair and program staff can all weigh in. See pricing.
- A professional apply page. One link with your job description and the fields you choose. Applicants do not need an account.
- Applications kept private. Files are encrypted and only the people you invite can open them.
- Decide together. Ratings, notes, stages, and split-vote flags keep everyone on the same page.
- An AI hiring advisor. On paid searches, get a summary and fit score for every applicant and know who to call first.
- Fair by design. Blind review hides names and personal details in the first pass, and the AI is told to ignore protected characteristics. Learn how blind review works.
Hiring an executive director?
When the board is hiring the organization's top leader, the search committee needs extra confidentiality. See how SealedApply works for board search committees.
Common questions
How much does it cost?
Your first search is free. After that you can pay per hire or choose a monthly plan. See the pricing page for current prices, and email us if cost is a barrier for your organization.
Can volunteers and board members help review?
Yes. Invite anyone by email. Every plan includes unlimited reviewers, so you never pay per seat.
We only hire a few times a year. Is this overkill?
SealedApply is built for exactly that. There is nothing to maintain between searches. Open a search when you need one and close it when the role is filled.
