“Can a design-led ATS become the full HR platform of choice for European SMBs (21-250 employees) that value brand and culture?”
Homerun is a Dutch SMB-focused HR SaaS founded in 2015 as a design-led applicant tracking system, built on the insight that most job posts look identical while every company has a unique culture. Over a decade the company iterated on ATS features and, in 2025, launched Homerun HR to serve the full employee journey (absences, files, headcount). It has ~30 employees across 3 European offices and ~1,400 customers. Homerun is not an embedded finance company — it is a pure HR SaaS that charges subscription fees via Stripe.
