VONQ
Programmatic job ad platform across 5,000+ channels, sold by quote per subscription or screened applicant.
Quote-based pricing API
Bottom line
VONQ suits high-volume employers, staffing firms and ATS vendors that want programmatic job advertising across 5,000+ channels, run from inside the ATS. It is sold by quote, either as the Recruit+ annual subscription or as CPA+, a fixed price for each applicant who passes AI screening.
Stands out for: VONQ's Hiring API is embedded in 85+ ATSs and distributes 3.3 million jobs a month across its EQO network. CPA+ charges only for applicants who pass AI screening, sold as a bundle of 20 pre-screened applicants or a Shortlist of 10.
Watch out for: Neither Recruit+ nor CPA+ has a published price, so the fixed per-applicant fee cannot be compared until you get a quote. VONQ is a Rotterdam company with no US-specific pricing, and contracts can be invoiced in USD, GBP or EUR.

Spend can run on cost per click or cost per applicant, with budget caps and live shifts toward the channels that perform. VONQ says its Hiring API is embedded in 85+ ATSs and distributes 3.3 million jobs every month.
