FAQ

Know exactly what you're signing up for

Straight answers about reverse recruiting — a recruiter who works for you, not employers: finding roles, tailoring your materials, and submitting applications on your behalf. If your question isn't below, email support@careerify.io and a human will answer.

Getting started

Getting started & your trial

What the 5-day trial includes, why a card is required, and what your recruiter needs from you.

You start a 5-day trial on the plan you choose — Starter, Pro, Elite, or Executive. During the trial your dedicated reverse recruiter begins real work on your search using the trial recruiter hours included with that plan (2 hours on Starter and Pro, 3 on Elite, 4 on Executive). You can watch applications and activity appear in your dashboard from day one. A card is required at checkout, but you pay $0 today — cancel before the trial ends and you're never charged.
Because a real human recruiter starts working on your search during the trial — it's not a free demo. The card confirms the plan you want to roll into and lets the search continue without interruption when the trial ends. You pay $0 today: cancel before the trial ends and you're never charged.
A guided onboarding flow collects what your recruiter needs: your resume, target roles and titles, locations (including remote or hybrid), salary goals, work-authorization or sponsorship needs, and any deal-breakers or companies to avoid. It takes about five minutes. The more specific your brief, the more precisely your recruiter can target roles that are actually worth applying to.
How the service works

Who does the work & how applications go out

Who applies on your behalf, how roles get picked, and how you steer the search.

Your dedicated reverse recruiter — a recruiter who works for you, not employers — sources roles that fit your brief, reviews each one, tailors your application to the position, and submits it on your behalf. Every submission — the role, company, date, and status — shows up in your dashboard, so you can see exactly what went out instead of wondering what's happening behind the scenes.
Yes. A real person is assigned to your search and applies to roles for you. We don't use auto-apply bots that blast your profile at hundreds of listings — that's exactly the low-quality approach reverse recruiting exists to replace. Human judgment is what keeps applications targeted and worth a recruiter's attention on the other end.
Roles are chosen by fit, not just keyword matches. Your recruiter uses your resume, target titles, seniority, location, sponsorship needs, and salary goals to focus the search where applications are genuinely a match. Each role is vetted before it makes your list, so your hours go toward applications that actually make sense for you.
Yes — every application is tailored to the role, never blasted from one generic profile. Your recruiter adjusts your resume to mirror what each posting is actually asking for, working from a strong base version so it reads as a genuine match. Cover letters are handled the same way: your recruiter writes one when a role requires it or when it clearly strengthens your case — a career pivot, a stretch role, or explaining a gap. Many online applications don't ask for a cover letter, or won't read a generic one, so we don't force a form letter onto every submission — a throwaway cover letter tends to hurt more than help. If you want a deeper, recruiter-grade rewrite of your base resume or LinkedIn profile, those are available as one-time add-ons and come included on Elite and Executive.
Absolutely. You and your recruiter share a secure chat thread in the dashboard. You can refine targeting, add or drop titles, flag companies to skip, share an updated resume, or hand off a referral at any time. Your recruiter updates your brief and the next batch reflects the change — the search stays yours to direct.
Quickly. Your recruiter begins working during the 5-day trial, so the first roles and applications typically start showing up in your dashboard within the first few days. From there, applications go out on a steady cadence — so the search keeps producing interview chances instead of stalling between bursts of effort.
It depends on your plan's monthly hours: roughly 50+ applications on Starter, 100+ on Pro, 175+ on Elite, and 300+ on Executive each month — one recruiter hour ≈ five tailored, human-submitted applications. These are targeted submissions that actually fit your brief, not mass-blasted volume. Add a Top-up ($75 per 5 hours, any active plan) if you want to push beyond your plan's range in a given month.
Billing & hours

Recruiter hours, plans & billing

What a recruiter hour buys, how hours roll over, and how billing, changes, and cancellation work.

A recruiter hour is real human work on your search — sourcing and vetting roles, tailoring and submitting applications, and keeping your dashboard current with statuses and responses. One recruiter hour ≈ five tailored, human-submitted applications. Plans include 10 hours a month on Starter, 20 on Pro, 35 on Elite, and 60 on Executive — and unused hours roll over for as long as you're subscribed.
Starter (10h / 50+ applications a month) keeps a consistent search moving. Pro (20h / 100+) is the best fit for most serious job seekers who want steady weekly momentum. Elite (35h / 175+, resume rewrite included) suits heavier searches across more titles or senior roles. Executive (60h / 300+, resume and LinkedIn rewrites included) is built for senior searches that need more coverage and a stronger launch. See the full breakdown on the pricing page
Yes. If you want to move faster than your monthly hours allow, add a Top-up — $75 per 5 recruiter hours, on any active plan. Top-up hours stack on top of your monthly allotment and roll over for as long as you're subscribed, so the search never stalls mid-month. (Our Flex hours, $90 per 5 with a 60-day expiry, are a separate no-subscription option — for one-off recruiter time when you don't have a monthly plan, not an add-on to one.)
Activate a paid plan before your 5-day trial ends and you get a one-time +20% recruiter-hour bonus on activation — that's +2 hours on Starter, +4 on Pro, +7 on Elite, and +12 on Executive. It's extra human work toward your search, applied once when you activate, on top of your plan's normal monthly hours.
Quarterly billing saves you 15% versus paying monthly. You're billed once every 3 months, and the full quarter of recruiter hours is granted upfront — so your recruiter has the runway to work consistently across the period. Either way, unused hours roll over while you're subscribed. You can choose monthly or quarterly when you pick your plan.
Yes. You can change plans or cancel from your account at any time. Upgrades take effect right away so your recruiter can ramp up; plan changes are handled cleanly without creating a duplicate subscription. If you cancel during the trial before it ends, you're never charged.
Guarantee & policies

The guarantee & our policies

What we put in writing — and what no honest service can promise.

No — and we're deliberately clear about that. No legitimate service can promise interviews or a specific job, because hiring decisions sit with employers and depend on the market, your background, and timing. What we do put in writing is the Application Delivery Guarantee: if we don't submit at least your plan's application floor in your first 30 paid days, your next month is free. It's an activity guarantee — real, visible delivery, every application in your dashboard. Read the full guarantee terms
Because each plan reserves real recruiter capacity and work begins quickly, refunds follow the terms laid out in our refund policy. The cleanest way to avoid a charge you don't want is to cancel before your trial ends — you pay $0 for the trial and you're never charged. For the full details on eligibility and how to request one, see the refund policy. Read the refund policy
