Straight answers about reverse recruiting — a recruiter who works for you, not employers: finding roles 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.

Our official website is careerify.io, and customers use dashboard.careerify.io to work with their dedicated recruiter and track applications. Careerify.io provides human-led reverse recruiting. We are not affiliated with careerify.ai or careerify.org. About Careerify →
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, and submits it on your behalf with the resume version that fits the job type. 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.
Open an application in your dashboard to review the role, company, submission date, status, and the application details your recruiter recorded. The detail view shows the selected resume and cover letter when recorded, along with the attached proof image. You can use the job-posting link to review the role and send feedback to your recruiter from the dashboard. See an example of the application detail view →
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. When you set up your search, you pick your target level from eight, Intern through VP / C-level. Pick Intern alone and your recruiter works internships only; pick Intern and Entry if a first full-time job fits too. Your recruiter finds internships on employer career sites and job boards, checks each one for fit, applies on your behalf and logs every application in your dashboard. Postings that exist only inside Handshake or your school's career portal sit behind your student login, so keep applying to those yourself. When an employer sends you an assessment or a video interview, you complete it yourself. Internships and entry-level jobs, explained →
No. Your recruiter checks each role for fit and applies with the version of your resume that fits its job type: your resume by default, or a job-type resume if you have one for that title. A professional writer can rewrite your base resume ($89 one-time, included on Elite and Executive) and then write a job-type resume for any title you target ($40 each) — most relevant experience first, summary and skills written for that title — which your recruiter can choose when applying to jobs with that title. Writers never add jobs, skills, qualifications or results you don't have. Your master cover letter is included on Pro, Elite and Executive ($49 one-time on Starter). A writer drafts it once your paid plan starts, and when an application asks for one, your recruiter personalizes it with the company's name. Once you have it, a job-type cover letter for any title you target is $30 each. A LinkedIn rewrite is $79 (included on Executive). Your base resume rewrite, LinkedIn rewrite and master cover letter are one per customer. For more roles, add a job-type resume or cover letter.
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 targeted, human-submitted applications. Those figures are estimates, not promises: they assume about twelve minutes per application, and some applications (timed assessments, long written questions, awkward portals) take far longer, so a heavier search produces fewer. The number we actually guarantee is lower and is published per plan in the Application Delivery Guarantee. These are targeted submissions that 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. See the guaranteed number for each plan →
Billing & hours

Recruiter hours, plans & billing

What a recruiter hour buys, why paid hours never expire, and how billing, changes, and cancellation work.

From $150 a month. Starter is $150 a month for 10 recruiter hours (an estimated ~50 applications), Pro $280 for 20 hours (~100), Elite $455 for 35 hours (~175) and Executive $720 for 60 hours (~300). Application counts are estimates; the guaranteed number is on the guarantee page. Every plan starts with a 5-day trial: card required, $0 today, and if you cancel before it ends you're never charged. Quarterly billing saves 15%, and paid hours never expire, even after you cancel. See every plan on the pricing page →
A recruiter hour is real human work on your search — sourcing and vetting roles, filling out and submitting applications, and keeping your dashboard current with statuses and responses. One recruiter hour ≈ five targeted, human-submitted applications on a typical search — an estimate, not a promise, since heavier applications take longer. Plans include 10 hours a month on Starter, 20 on Pro, 35 on Elite, and 60 on Executive — and paid hours never expire: they roll over month to month, and if you cancel, your recruiter keeps working until every paid hour is used.
Volumes below are estimates; the guaranteed number is on the guarantee page. 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 →
It is when time is the problem rather than money. Starter is $150 a month for 10 recruiter hours, an estimated ~50 applications, after a 5-day trial with 2 recruiter hours (card required, $0 today), and paid hours never expire, even after you cancel. Your recruiter finds entry-level roles that fit, checks each one and applies on your behalf, so your own hours go to classes, work and interviews. It isn't worth it if $150 a month doesn't fit your budget (start with free tools like your career center and an autofill extension), if your target roles have hundreds of openings and simple forms (an AI auto-apply tool sends more applications per dollar), or if your field hires mainly through networking, because Careerify doesn't do outreach or coaching. Nobody can promise you interviews or an offer, and we don't. Every option for students and new grads, compared →
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 never expire, even after you cancel, so the search never stalls mid-month.
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, paid hours never expire. They roll over month to month, and your recruiter works through them even after you cancel. 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 after you've paid, billing stops but your recruiter keeps working until every paid hour on your account is used. If you cancel during the trial before it ends, you're never charged, and free-trial hours don't carry over if you cancel before your trial converts.
Paid hours never expire. They roll over month to month, and if you cancel, your recruiter keeps working until every paid hour is used. That covers plan hours, early-commitment bonus hours, top-ups, and referral hours. Billing stops at the end of your current cycle, and your dashboard and recruiter chat stay open while your recruiter works through what's left. We'll email you when your hours are all used, and if you restart a plan later, anything still on your balance carries over. If you'd rather stop early — say you've accepted a job — message your recruiter or email support@careerify.io and we'll close the search; any hours left stay on your balance. Free-trial hours don't carry over if you cancel before your trial converts.
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: one fixed number of applications per plan, out of your first month's recruiter hours. Miss it and you get a month free, credited to your next unbilled billing cycle. That guaranteed number is deliberately set below the monthly volumes estimated on the pricing page, so it holds even when a search runs heavy — there's no second figure and no judgment call about whether your search was difficult. 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. Outside the refund window, unused paid hours aren't refunded as cash, but they never expire, and your recruiter keeps working through them even after you cancel. For the full details on eligibility and how to request one, see the refund policy. Read the refund policy →
