Pricing questions
What's a Hiring Credit?
A prepaid $3,900. Use it on a RecruiterOS job, or as the start payment on a SearchOS or Executive search. It's worth $3,900 however little you paid for it.
Can I use credits on different products?
Yes. Use them on any mix of RecruiterOS jobs, SearchOS starts and Executive Discovery. FlexWorkforceOS works differently and doesn't use credits.
How do packages and monthly plans work?
When you approve a Hiring Kit and don't have any credits, you can choose a package and how to pay: in full, over 3 months (+5%) or over 6 months (+10%). Agree to the terms in HiringOS, and your Hiring Credits are added to your account: one for the role you're approving, and the rest for the roles ahead.
On the 3-month plan, they're all ready from day one. On the 6-month plan, half are ready from day one and the rest after month 4, as long as payments are up to date.
What happens to credits I don't use?
Credits are valid for 12 months from your agreement date. After that, unused credits expire, so choose a package that matches the roles you expect to fill this year.
Can I get a refund on credits?
Credits aren't refundable. You can use them on any mix of RecruiterOS jobs, SearchOS starts and Executive Discovery, so they're rarely left unused.
When does SearchOS cost 20% instead of 15%?
When the person must already have specific industry or technical expertise. An accountant is 15%; an accountant who must have oil and gas experience is 20%. We agree which applies at your intake, before you pay anything.
What if I stop partway?
- RecruiterOS: if the right people aren't applying, upgrade to SearchOS between day 14 and day 90, and your $3,900 comes off the fee.
- SearchOS: the $3,900 covers the work already done.
- Executive search: stages already paid are kept, and later stages aren't charged.
How does this compare with a recruiting agency?
Agencies commonly charge 15–25% of first-year base salary, paid when the hire starts. On a $100,000 hire, that's $15,000 to $25,000. RecruiterOS is $3,900 per job. SearchOS starts at 15%, and for that a named recruiter owns the whole search, with live metrics, published promises and a replacement guarantee.
