Why people look past PyjamaHR

Premium caps postings at 10 jobs per user, and extra slots cost $10 for every 10 jobs. The annual discount has no published rate, so annual pricing needs a conversation with sales.

What we noted

  • Only 10 jobs per user on Premium
  • Extra job slots cost $10 per 10 jobs
  • No published annual discount rate

Not the right fit for

  • High-volume teams with many open jobs
  • Buyers needing a published annual rate
  • Teams that need a documented public API

Worth keeping in mind: AI interviews are priced openly: the AI Recruiter add-on costs $15 for 100 credits, and each credit runs one AI-powered candidate interview. Premium also bundles a 360 comparison view, automated screening and a LinkedIn recruiter integration.
