Modules

Individual modules, minimum two

Already have payroll or a basic HRIS? Add Careersome modules alongside your stack. Pricing is per module per employee per month with a minimum of two modules: see the module math box above before you bundle.

Available as standalone modules:

Onboarding, Offboarding, Performance Management, Compensation Management, Employee Engagement, Development Management, Succession Planning, Activity Tracking, Analytics and Reporting, AI Workforce Stories, Journeys, Peer Praise

Module-only pricing vs Basic

Modules are NGN 1,875 per employee per month each, minimum 2 modules.

Two modules

NGN 3,750 /employee/mo

Two modules: NGN 3,750/employee/month, same headline per-employee rate as Basic (NGN 3,750/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

NGN 5,625 /employee/mo

Three modules: NGN 5,625/employee/month, more expensive than Basic (NGN 3,750/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.

Scoped to your organization

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before signing

Straight answers, including how currency display works.

Why is pricing custom if you publish numbers?+
It isn't custom for Light, Basic, or Professional: those three are fixed, published per-employee rates, what you see above is what you pay. "Custom" applies only to Enterprise, where headcount, modules, recruiting volume, and implementation scope vary enough between large organisations that a single number wouldn't be honest. If you're on Light, Basic, or Professional, the number on this page is the number in your agreement.
What do I get on Careersome Light, and what are the hard limits?+
Light is a free people workspace for teams up to 10: recruitment, performance, time off, and onboarding on one connected record. Published limits include up to 3 active jobs per month, up to 70 applications per job, basic AI scores, Stories preview, Journeys playbooks (Stories and performance steps; Activities on Professional), peer praise with a blurred HR leaderboard preview, onboarding for up to 5 starters, and up to 4 performance reviews per year. Upgrade when you need more seats, full AI ranking, full Journeys, the company praise leaderboard, full Stories and chat, or the rest of the suite. Your data stays put.
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.
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.
