Hackajob
UK tech talent marketplace with an AI sourcing agent, a free plan for 3 roles and quoted per job pricing.
Quote-based pricing Free tier
Bottom line
Tech hiring marketplace with a UK and European pool of opted in engineers, now sourced by its Archer AI agent. A free Lite plan covers up to 3 live roles; Pro and SC are billed per live job with a 10 role minimum, and those prices are quoted on a demo.
Stands out for: The Archer agent sources from an opted in pool of 1.5m+ candidates, and the free Lite plan lets you see the candidates it finds before you pay. Candidates arrive knowing the salary, and the reply rates reflect it.
Watch out for: Pro and SC prices are not published and need a 10 role minimum. The talent pool is concentrated in the UK and Europe, so US only hiring gets less value. It is built for tech roles only.
Overview
Hackajob is a tech hiring marketplace founded in London. Software engineers, data and other tech professionals create a free profile with their skills, salary expectations and preferences, and employers pay to reach them.
Employers search the pool using hackajob intelligence, a language model trained on millions of platform data points, which matches on context and experience rather than keywords and highlights the evidence behind each match.
Interview requests go out with the job description, salary and location upfront, and candidates choose whether to reply. Hackajob reports an 85% reply rate within 48 hours.
Pricing is now per job. Lite is free with no card for up to 3 concurrent live roles. Pro and SC (which adds security clearance filters) are billed for each job the Archer agent is actively working, with a minimum of 10 concurrent live roles, and billing stops when a job closes. Per job rates are shared on a demo.
Plans also include an employer brand page, pipeline and brand sentiment data, DE&I sourcing with anonymous profiles, salary benchmarks across 200+ tech disciplines and ATS integrations.
