Why We Don’t Offer a Free Plan (HireTalent.ph)

Many hiring platforms start with a freemium model, hoping to convert users to paid plans later. At HireTalent, we’ve taken a different approach, and here’s why.
Quality Matters
When you’re hiring talent for your business, you’re making a crucial investment.
We’ve found that free platforms often struggle with quality control, leading to a flood of low-quality job posts and unreliable connections. Maintaining a paid model is one of the ways we can assure employers are serious about their hiring process and committed to finding the right Filipino talent.
Protecting Our Community
One of the most compelling reasons for our paid-only approach is security. Our spam registrations before implementing these safeguards were too much to count.
Payment verification acts as a powerful filter against potential scammers and fraudulent activities.
When employers have skin in the game, they’re more likely to:
- Provide detailed, legitimate job descriptions
- Respond professionally to applications
- Follow through with their hiring commitments
- Treat candidates with respect
- … and not scam
Any employer who has gone through the headaches of sifting and vetting talent knows that quality recruitment is 100x worth the investment you pay to achieve it. Consider this: the cost of a bad hire or time wasted sifting through spam applications is hours, days, and weeks of your life you must dedicate time to (and won’t get back).
The Results Speak for Themselves
Since implementing this model, we’ve seen:
- Higher quality job postings
- More serious employers
- Better matches between talents and businesses
- Reduced spam and fraudulent activities
- Increased hiring success rates
And this doesn’t even mention our money-back guarantee policy if you’re still unsatisfied with who you hire. So there’s no risk to you, just risk for people trying to scam the hardworking talent we have looking for real jobs on our site!
