Hiring manager/employee licenses can be purchased only in packs of 10, and several add-ons are either billed annually or billed monthly depending on the item.

Hidden and indirect costs

Worth budgeting for
⚠  Some costs are not fully public and may vary by usage or region. The official pricing page states that local taxes such as VAT and GST are charged in addition to listed prices, and that some items like Premium Support, data migration services, Jumpstart, additional storage, and certain add-on packs are priced separately or are not fully disclosed in the supplied documents. The plan comparison also indicates there are caps and package-based add-ons for employee licenses, portals, job openings, APIs, webhooks, workflow alerts, mass mail, and video interviews, which can increase the total spend as teams grow.

Pricing FAQ

Yes. The official pricing page says there is a 15-day free trial, and the main product page says you can start your 15-day free trial without a credit card. During the trial, users can access all Enterprise features. After the trial ends, users are moved to the Free Plan unless they upgrade.

Both monthly and yearly billing are publicly shown on the official pricing page. The page also says yearly billing can save up to 16%. The comparison page presents a billed annually and billed monthly structure for the per-recruiter plans.

The supplied documents do not show a general minimum seat requirement for the Standard or Enterprise plans. They do say that hiring manager or employee licenses can be purchased only in packs of 10, and several add-ons are pack-based as well. So the public minimum appears to depend on the specific add-on rather than the core plan.
