Traditional recruiting agencies charge 15–25% of annual base salary for every placement — often $15,000 to $30,000 per role. Employers AI delivers the full recruiter lifecycle (sourcing, screening, scheduling, pipeline tracking) without placement fees. Current plan pricing lives on our pricing page.
External staffing agencies work on commission, incentivize transactional candidate pushes, and take their candidate relationships and pipeline knowledge with them as soon as their contract concludes.
With Employers AI, your company builds permanent in-house recruiting assets. Ava sources, screens, and engages candidates continuously under your brand, with all candidate data, scorecards, and historical outreach securely stored in your own workspace.
