Overview
Giig Hire is a recruiting CRM and ATS for small agencies. Free Forever is $0 for one user, with unlimited candidates, jobs, clients, pipelines, email, and a careers site for three jobs. Starter is $16.70 per user per month and adds CV parsing credits, CSV import, a custom domain, and extra seats. Plus is $49.20 per user per month with a LinkedIn Chrome extension, API access, bulk email, custom fields, and 5,000 parse credits. Giig AI is $65.03 per user per month.
Small agencies pick Giig to start free and pay only when they need parsing, branding, or team seats. The USD site shows up to 17 percent off those figures. GBP Starter is £12.50 per user per month plus VAT. Giig AI adds MCP access for Claude, matching, job-ad drafting, and email drafts, and is request-only. Sign-up needs no card. Data export is available even on Free Forever.
