Hiring software for startups and scale-ups

Startups use CogniHR because usage-based credits fit occasional hiring. A 30-person company making four hires a year pays for the work performed instead of a per-employee HRIS subscription or a per-hiring-manager seat licence, and gets sourcing, assessment and onboarding without assembling a stack.

What usually goes wrong

Three failure modes we hear repeatedly, and what changes here.

Per-employee pricing bills you for people you are not hiring

HRIS platforms charge per employee per month whether or not you are recruiting. For a small team hiring a few times a year that is a subscription to a mostly idle system. Credits are consumed when you actually source, assess or screen.

Enterprise ATS pricing starts above the whole HR budget

Quote-only contracts with four-figure annual floors and per-hiring-manager seats are built for a recruiting function you do not have yet. Self-serve signup and a $49 entry tier are built for the one you do.

Four tools for a team of thirty is the wrong shape

Sourcing, assessment, tracking and onboarding as four subscriptions means four integrations to maintain and nobody owning them. One platform covering the lifecycle is less to run.
