Starting price

CareerArc

$167/mo 30 day free trial

CareerArc HireSocial turns jobs into branded social posts. Starter is $167/mo billed annually ($196/mo month to month) for 10 jobs and one user. A 30-day trial needs no credit card.

Where CareerArc fits

  • TA teams that want jobs auto-posted to company and recruiter social profiles
  • Retail, healthcare, and hospitality brands hiring where candidates already scroll
  • Recruiters who will approve AI-generated captions instead of writing every post
  • Teams that can live on Starter's 10-job cap or will jump to Growth for unlimited jobs

Recruitics

Sales-quoted

Recruitics is programmatic job advertising plus hiring analytics for enterprise TA. Pricing is quoted. The pitch is verified, interviewed, and screened finalists, not just clicks, across 400-plus enterprise customers.

Where Recruitics fits

  • Enterprise TA teams that want programmatic ads and hiring analytics in one vendor
  • Recruiters who care about qualified applicants by channel, not click reports
  • Orgs that will let AI verify and screen before the req owner touches the queue

Where they pull apart

CareerArc

Stands out: Unlimited publishing to LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and Instagram from ATS or career-site sync. AI generates the posts. Growth at $834/mo annual adds unlimited jobs, unlimited profiles, and ATS/XML autosync.

Watch out: Starter is one user, one profile, and 10 jobs. This is organic social recruiting, not programmatic media buying. Enterprise campaigns and a dedicated CSM are custom and annual-commit.

Not the right fit for

  • Enterprises that need a full career-site CMS, CRM, and programmatic stack (see Radancy)
  • Buyers who want pay-per-applicant job-board media rather than organic social

Recruitics

Stands out: Live visibility by channel, market, and role, with a Predict feature for labor intelligence and a Convert path that verifies and screens applicants before a recruiter opens the file.

Watch out: This is a sales-quoted media-and-analytics suite. Teams that only need a self-serve job-board blender will overbuy. There is no public CPM or per-applicant table.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that need a published monthly job-ad SKU
  • Teams that only want organic social posts (see CareerArc HireSocial)
