What VIVAHR does

VIVAHR, doing business as AvaHR, is a Phoenix-based SaaS company that provides an applicant tracking system and recruiting automation platform aimed at small and medium-sized businesses that need to hire without enterprise-scale HR infrastructure. The platform is organized around four interconnected modules — Recruit & Engage, Evaluate & Qualify, Collaborate & Hire, and Insights & Analytics — and bundles features including native job syndication to 100+ job boards, visual hiring pipelines, customizable candidate scorecards and questionnaires, automated email and SMS candidate communication, an employee referral program, Culture Profiles for employer branding, and real-time analytics such as time-to-hire reporting. Underlying technology is a cloud-based ATS with native integrations to major job boards (Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor) and downstream workflow automation via Zapier; the company claims 5,000+ SMB customers, a 92% customer satisfaction rate, and a 4.9/5.0 average customer rating.

The business model is a subscription-based SaaS with monthly or annual billing and a 7-day free trial that drives a product-led growth motion via self-serve sign-up on the website, supplemented by a sales-assisted inside-sales motion with demo scheduling for larger SMB or mid-market buyers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is primarily direct (self-serve website, demo scheduling, G2 marketplace), augmented by content marketing (blog, Hiring Toolkit, job description and interview question templates, ebooks), HR conference presence, weekly group coaching and demo webinars, and an Ecosystem Partners / referral / affiliate program. Customer segmentation is verticalized, with dedicated go-to-market pages for Healthcare, Trade Services (including HVAC, Roofing, Painting), Hospitality, and Retail, plus additional emphasis on dental practices. The company is privately held, was founded in 2020, and operates with 11–50 employees under founder and CEO Ryan Naylor; no funding rounds, revenue figures, or ownership structure are disclosed in the available data.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Breezy HR: Breezy HR is an SMB-focused applicant tracking system with job board posting, pipelines, and team collaboration. It competes directly with AvaHR for the same small business hiring budget, feature set, and PLG/self-serve motion.
• Workable: Workable is a cloud-based ATS and recruiting platform serving SMB to mid-market employers with job posting to 200+ boards, AI candidate matching, and structured interviews. It is a direct SMB/mid-market competitor to AvaHR with overlapping core ATS capabilities.

Emerging players

• ZipRecruiter: ZipRecruiter is a job marketplace that has expanded into ATS and hiring software for SMBs. As both a distribution partner of AvaHR (via job board integration) and a competing ATS vendor, it is a key adjacent player in the SMB hiring space.
• Indeed Hire: Indeed is the largest job marketplace and a core distribution partner for AvaHR (logo on homepage). Indeed's bundled ATS/recruiting products compete for the same SMB hiring budgets and represent both AvaHR's largest channel and a direct competitive threat.
• Ashby: Ashby is a modern all-in-one recruiting platform combining ATS, sourcing, analytics, and CRM. Though often focused on growth-stage tech companies, its PLG-friendly model and product breadth make it an emerging competitive threat in adjacent SMB/mid-market segments.

Broad incumbents

• BambooHR: BambooHR is a leading HRIS for SMBs that includes applicant tracking and onboarding. As a broader incumbent with established SMB distribution and bundled HR functionality, it is a likely expansion threat to AvaHR's ATS-only positioning.
• Greenhouse: Greenhouse is an enterprise-focused ATS increasingly expanding downmarket. It competes with AvaHR on core recruiting workflows and could pressure AvaHR's pricing as it adds SMB-tier offerings.
• Lever: Lever is an established ATS and talent CRM serving mid-market and enterprise. It overlaps with AvaHR's product capabilities (pipelines, scorecards, automation) and represents the downmarket expansion risk AvaHR faces from incumbent vendors.
• SmartRecruiters: SmartRecruiters is a global talent acquisition suite spanning ATS, CRM, and onboarding for mid-market and enterprise. It competes with AvaHR on the core ATS layer and signals broader incumbent capability in the recruiting automation category.
• JobVite: Jobvite is a long-standing talent acquisition platform offering ATS, CRM, and employee referral solutions. As an established incumbent with SMB and mid-market reach, it represents a comparable competitor in the same ATS/recruiting automation category as AvaHR.
