How our pricing works.
- The type of role (professional vs hourly/blue-collar)
- The complexity and seniority
- The talent market in your location
Two simple hourly rates
Professional & skilled roles
Hourly & blue-collar roles
Initial funding & auto-replenishment
- You choose an initial payment / replenishment amount (often under $500).
- That amount is added as a usable balance in your TRS account and converts directly into recruiter hours.
- As we work, your balance auto-replenishes in that same increment you selected — never exceeding your Instant Pricing Estimate for that role.
You control the pace and scope.
We cap the hours upfront, so there are no surprises — ever.
What you pay for (and what you don’t)
You Pay For
- The hours your recruiter actually works
- Sourcing, outreach, and screening
- Interview coordination & scheduling
- Market feedback and candidate pipelines
You Don’t Pay For
- Finder’s or placement fees
- 20–30% of salary just to make a hire
- Job postings & sourcing tools
- Long-term retainers or locked-in contracts
Recruiting shouldn’t be a gamble. Only pay for the hours you need.
We bill by the hour for the recruiting work required to fill your role. The number of hours depends on the complexity of the position, seniority level, and the talent market.
You control the pace and scope. We cap the hours upfront and guarantee not to exceed your estimate, so there are no surprise invoices — ever.
