How to choose a plan without overpaying

Pricing pages are usually optimised to push you up a tier. We've tried to do the opposite. The honest answer for most teams is: start on the smallest plan that fits the role volume you actually have this quarter, run two or three live openings on it, and only move up once a real constraint shows up. Buying more capacity on hope is one of the easier ways to waste budget on hiring software.

Start with Core if you hire in bursts

Core is built for teams that fill openings in clusters: a few engineers in Q1, a sales role mid-year, an ops hire when something breaks. You get the full assessment, the candidate dashboard, and the success-profile editor. What you don't get is multi-team workflows or candidate comparison across campaigns. If your hiring rhythm is "a handful of openings, hands-on involvement from one person," this is the level the platform was designed for.

Move to Growth when comparison becomes the bottleneck

The signal that you've outgrown Core is usually a hiring manager asking "how does this candidate compare to the last three we shortlisted?" Once cross-campaign comparison and role versioning matter, you save more time on Growth than the price difference. Growth also adds collaborative review notes, which become valuable the moment more than one person needs to see a candidate's profile and form an independent view before a calibration meeting.

Pick Scale only when governance, not features, is the driver

Scale exists for teams with audit, retention, and access-control requirements that come from above the hiring function: legal, security, or a regulated industry context. The features you get on Scale are the same shape as Growth's, with stronger controls around who sees what, how long data is retained, and how changes are recorded. If those are not active requirements yet, you can come back to Scale when they become one.

What the assessment fee really pays for

The per-assessment cost covers the questionnaire infrastructure, response-quality checks, scoring against role-specific success profiles, and the candidate report. It does not cover an interview. We say this because some buyers expect a hiring assessment to do the whole filtering job. It will not. It will give you a structured signal alongside your resume review and interview process. Used as one input among several, the evidence is reasonable. Used as the only input, you'll miss strong candidates and over-trust weak ones.
