HeyJobs vs Talent Square

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

HeyJobs

€400/mo

Performance recruiting service for German employers that need applicants quickly: HeyJobs buys job ad traffic, screens applicants with AI and passes them to your existing ATS. HIRE budgets start at €400/mo with a €1,200 minimum budget use, and REACH costs under €150 per job from 10 openings.

Where HeyJobs fits

  • German employers with hard-to-fill jobs
  • Teams with 10 or more open roles
  • Recruiters who already have an ATS

Talent Square

€149/mo 60 day free trial

Talent Square is a Slovak AI tool that writes, targets and launches job ad campaigns on Meta social media to reach passive candidates. It suits small employers and recruiters without a marketing team who want social job ads without an agency. There is a 60-day free trial, pay as you go at €159 per campaign, and plans from €149/mo, with the ad budget paid separately.

Where Talent Square fits

  • Small employers without a marketing team
  • Recruiters filling roles where candidates are not on job boards

Where they pull apart

HeyJobs

Stands out: HeyAssessment screening is included in the budget, reviewing applications and using live chat to check qualifications, interest and reachability. Ads run on Google, Meta, TikTok, Xing and 50+ other channels, backed by a talent pool of more than 4.5 million people.

Watch out: HeyJobs is not an applicant tracking system, so pipelines and offers stay in another tool. The €400 HIRE entry still carries a €1,200 minimum budget use, and prices are published in euros only.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams looking for an ATS or HRIS
  • Employers hiring outside DACH
  • Buyers wanting per-user software pricing

Talent Square

Stands out: All you need is a job description and a careers page: the AI handles ad copy and targeting, and pre-screening is charged per candidate instead of per seat. Higher plans cut the percentage fee on your ad spend from 25% to 5%.

Watch out: Total cost is plan fee plus a percentage fee plus the ad budget plus pre-screen fees, so compare all four before choosing. Customers and testimonials are Slovak and Central European, pricing is in euros, and only Meta is named as an ad channel.

Not the right fit for

  • US teams that want USD billing and US case studies
  • High volume employers who need programmatic ads across many job sites
