Pricing

Free for members. Employers pay when it works.

Everything that gets you matched and meeting is free. Employers pay only when a hire is confirmed, and project fees only when work is awarded. Verifications are optional, at about what they cost us.

No subscriptions for members. No boosts. Nobody can pay to rank higher.

How we think about money

Locked when it goes live

The hire fee is shown on your listing preview and locked when you publish. A later change in the salary table doesn't move it.

Typical salary, not your offer

The fee comes from public typical-salary figures for the role and city, so it never depends on what you offer.

No pay-to-play

Fees and verifications never change ranking. Matches come from fit and evidence.

Questions

Is it free for job seekers?

Yes. Getting hired costs nothing. Verifications are optional.

Is networking free?

Always: mentoring, peers, trade partners, co-founders and circles.

Is there a subscription?

Not for members. Employers pay $19/month per user after the first, and nothing else until a hire.

Can anyone pay to rank higher?

No. Nothing you buy changes who you're matched with or where you show. Verified badges are shown on cards but never scored.

Why are verification fees what they are?

They cover the vendor's cost of the check. Background checks and license checks add $20 to the vendor's price. If a license check can't find your license, it's refunded.
