How much job description management costs

Common pricing models: tiered plans, per user per month, per module or bundle, and custom quote. Too few vendors publish comparable list prices for us to give a price range; the models and cost drivers below explain what you will be quoted.

Pricing models explained

  • Tiered plans. Plans priced by the number of active job descriptions or jobs in the library, with more workflow and analytics in higher tiers.
  • Per user per month. Charged per HR, compensation or recruiting user who writes and approves content, sometimes with free reviewer seats for managers.
  • Per module or bundle. Job architecture, skills libraries, language review and integrations sold as add-ons to the core library.
