Reqcore is an AGPL-3.0-licensed human resources application for organisations that want to keep their own hiring data and add users without paying per seat, and it sits in this registry under Business Software / Human Resources (HR).

What it is

Reqcore is open-source software in the Business Software / Human Resources (HR) category, published under the AGPL-3.0 licence. Its GitHub description and its tagline are identical: "Own your hiring data with unlimited seats forever." That line is the entire positioning the registry entry supplies. The entry also records no primary language, no topics, zero stars, zero forks, zero open issues, no last-push date, and an empty README excerpt, so the licence, the category, and that two-line description are the only hard facts on this page.

The problem Reqcore frames for itself has two halves, both readable from the tagline. The first is seat-based licensing, where cost tracks headcount, and the answer offered is "unlimited seats." The second is custody of hiring records, where the data lives with a vendor, and the answer offered is "own your hiring data," backed by the AGPL-3.0 licence, which requires source to remain available to users interacting with the software over a network. The facts provided do not name the specific product or products Reqcore replaces, so no direct substitution can be stated here beyond the intent those two claims describe.

Key capabilities

• Distributed under AGPL-3.0, a copyleft licence whose network-use clause covers modified versions offered to remote users.
• Seat count is not metered: the description promises "unlimited seats," so licence cost does not scale with team size.
• Hiring data is meant to stay with the operator, following from the phrase "own your hiring data."
• Scope is Human Resources (HR) hiring work, as fixed by the registry category.
• "Forever" in the description indicates a perpetual licence term rather than a recurring subscription.
• Positioning is consistent across fields: GitHub description and tagline are the same sentence.
• The entry declares no topics and carries an empty README excerpt, so no command names, file names, image names, formats, or protocols can be quoted from these facts.

Who uses it and how

• Teams whose headcount keeps growing: "unlimited seats" removes the licence arithmetic that follows every new hire.
• Organisations with data-custody or residency rules: AGPL-3.0 software run by the operator keeps hiring records in that operator's hands.
• HR and recruiting functions inside companies that already run their own infrastructure rather than buying hosted services.
• Smaller hiring teams that want the tooling without vendor contract negotiation or seat-count negotiation at renewal.
• No deployment scenario, environment, or scale figure is documented in the supplied facts; the items above follow from the description alone.

Getting started

The supplied facts include an empty README excerpt and no topics, so no package name, Docker image, compose file, hosted option, or install command is documented here. The Reqcore repository itself must be consulted for current setup instructions.

How it compares

The facts provide no list of paid products that Reqcore replaces, and they name no comparable self-hosted tools either. On the record available, Reqcore stands alone in this registry, and any comparison against named alternatives would have to wait for documentation that this entry does not contain.

When to use it — and when not to

Choose Reqcore when unlimited seats and operator-held hiring data outweigh the fact that this entry documents no installation path at all. A self-hoster must work out the whole stack alone, since nothing in the facts names required services such as a database, object storage, or mail delivery, and no release history or activity date appears. Teams that need a documented setup, published releases, support arrangements, or a visible user community should look elsewhere — zero stars, zero forks, zero issues, and no topics are weak signals of maintenance. The AGPL-3.0 copyleft also matters if the plan is to modify the software and offer it to others as a network service.
