No per-candidate fees on standard recruitment packaging. Pick your country currency below to see local equivalents.
Rates are indicative (USD base, updated quarterly). Checkout and contracts may use the same currency selection when online billing is enabled.
Converted amounts are estimates for planning. Final quotes are in your agreement.
Annual billing is the default on Basic, Professional, and Enterprise. Monthly billing is available on Professional and Enterprise at a 15% premium on the listed per-employee rates.
Sanity check: 30 employees
Illustrative totals for a 30-person company at published USD list rates, converted at today's marketing FX. Use it to verify the logic before you talk to us.
Full platform Basic: $2.50/employee/month → about $75.00/month for 30 people.
Full platform Professional: $5.00/employee/month → about $150.00/month for 30 people.
Recruitment only, Starter: up to 3 active jobs at $10.00/job/month → cap about $30.00/month (always cheaper than running the full suite at the same headcount when hiring is the only scope).
Recruitment only, Growth (example: 10 active jobs at $8.00/job/month): about $80.00/month.
Module-only pricing vs Basic
Modules are $1.25 per employee per month each, minimum 2 modules.
Two modules → $2.50/employee/month, same headline per-employee rate as Basic ($2.50/employee/month), but Basic includes the broader suite (without AI Stories). Choose modules when you only need a couple of workflows alongside other tools.
Three modules → $3.75/employee/month, more expensive than Basic ($2.50/employee/month). At this point, Basic usually delivers better value unless you have a deliberate reason to stay à la carte.
Basic is cheaper per employee than three à la carte modules.
Professional monthly option: $5.75 per employee / month if you choose monthly billing (15% vs annual).

FAQ
Questions buyers ask before signing
Straight answers, including how currency display works.
What do I get on Careersome Light, and what are the hard limits?+
Light is free for up to 7 employees with one active job, 30 applications per job, basic AI scores, one recruiter seat, and one performance cycle per year. It's the real product, not a sandbox, but it deliberately stops short of full AI ranking, AI Stories, the chat assistant, and unlimited scale so there's a clear reason to upgrade.
How do currencies work on this page?+
List prices are in USD. We convert to NGN, KES, GHS, ZAR, EGP, UGX, TZS, RWF, XOF, or show USD for international buyers using indicative quarterly FX for planning. Your order and invoice follow your contract; when online checkout is enabled, we'll use the same currency selection where the payment provider supports it.
Why is pricing custom if you publish numbers?+
Published rates explain the product logic. Final annual agreements confirm headcount, modules, recruiting volume, billing frequency (including optional monthly on Professional+ at a 15% premium), and any implementation scope.
We only need recruitment right now. Is recruitment-only always cheaper than the full suite?+
Recruitment-only is billed per active job per month, so at any company size it stays cheaper than licensing the full per-employee platform for the same hiring scope. When you need HR beyond hiring, move to the suite or modules without migrating your data.
Are there per-applicant or hidden fees?+
No per-candidate fees on standard recruitment packaging. Your quote lists what's in scope; implementation or custom integration may be quoted separately when needed.
