How Alert Hire is priced

Start with a three-month pilot, charged at cost. After it, the price is set against the consultant time the interviews save you, which the app shows you in your own numbers.

Alert Hire starts every agency on a three-month pilot, charged at what it costs us to run, on live roles. After the pilot, the price is set against the consultant time the interviews save: the first-round calls you no longer make, at your own minutes per call and hourly cost. It is priced per agency, not per seat.

Why there is no number on this page

We are early, and we would rather the first agencies see the saving before anyone agrees a price. So the pilot is charged at cost, and the price after it is agreed at the start of the pilot, against a number both sides can see: the consultant time the interviews saved.

That number is not a guess. Alert Hire shows it on every job, worked out from your own minutes per phone screen and what an hour of a consultant costs you.

The model

A pilot first, then a price you can check

A three-month pilot, at cost

Live roles, your own candidates, charged at what it costs us to run and invoiced monthly. We set up the first roles’ key checks and questions with you, and meet weekly to adjust what does not fit how you work.

Success agreed up front

At the start of the pilot we agree what counts: interviews completed, consultant hours saved, how many of the candidates you put forward came from Alert Hire. And we agree the price that follows if it works.

After the pilot

A price set against the consultant time the interviews save you. The first-round calls are the work it takes over, so that is what it is measured against.

Per agency

One price for the agency and everyone in it. Nobody has to decide who gets a licence.

What it is not

Three things you are not charged for

Not per seat

Every recruiter, resourcer and manager in the agency can use it. Hiring another consultant does not change the price.

Not a cut of your fee

What you bill your client for a placement is yours in full. The price is never a percentage of what you earn.

Not a setup project

Setting up the first roles is part of the pilot, done with you in an afternoon, not a separate implementation.

Working out what the first round costs you now

Three numbers, and you can answer them before you speak to us.

  1. How many candidates do you phone for one role, after your own screening?
  2. How long is each call, notes included?
  3. What does an hour of a consultant cost you, loaded?

Multiply the first two for the minutes, then by the hourly cost for the dollars. Fifty calls at twenty minutes is about 16.7 hours; at A$60 an hour that is A$1,000 for one role. The calculator on the home page does the arithmetic with your numbers.

Questions about pricing

Anything not covered here: admin@alertai.com.au.

Because we would rather you see the saving on your own roles first. The pilot is charged at cost, and the price after it is agreed at the start of the pilot against the consultant time the interviews save, which both sides can see in the app.

What it costs us to run your interviews during the pilot, invoiced monthly, with no margin on top. It is not free, because a pilot works best when both sides are putting something in.

No. It is one price for the agency and everyone in it. Per-seat pricing makes agencies ration access to the tool that is supposed to save them time, which defeats the point.

You carry on at the price agreed at the start, or you stop. If it did not work, we will want to know whether it was the fit or something we should have changed along the way, which is what the weekly check-in is for.
