JobAdder is a recruitment CRM and applicant tracking system for staffing agencies and in-house talent teams. It covers the day-to-day of running desks: candidate and client records, job postings to 200+ boards, pipeline and placement tracking, and reporting.
Its AI layer, Adder Intelligence, generates candidate summaries and relevancy ratings against a job, and more recently pulls structured data out of resumes and interview transcripts. JobAdder also sells add-ons on top of the core plans, including SSO, API and sandbox access, a dedicated IP, Broadbean multi-posting, smart forms, and a hiring manager portal.
Plans scale with both headcount and feature depth. A boutique desk on Recruiter Lite gets the core job posting and ATS tools, while a larger agency on Recruiter Pro also gets e-signatures, GenAI enhancements, workflow automation, advanced dashboards, and a named success manager.

JobAdder pricing
What you pay for
JobAdder does not publish prices. You pay per user per month, and plans scale with both headcount and feature depth: Recruiter Lite (1-5 users) covers core job posting and ATS tools, Recruiter Essential (6-20 users) adds e-signatures, GenAI enhancements, workflow automation, and phone support, and Recruiter Pro (21+ users) adds advanced dashboards, a named success manager, and a sandbox environment. Recruiter Business is a custom plan for larger agencies and in-house teams. Extras like SSO, a dedicated IP, and Broadbean job distribution cost more on top. You only get a real number after a demo and a sales conversation.
No public entry price to compare, so budget depends on a sales quote.

Recruiter Business is a custom plan for larger agencies and in-house teams. You get a price only after a demo and a sales conversation. Add-ons priced separately include SSO, a dedicated IP, Broadbean job distribution, smart forms, and the hiring manager portal. API and sandbox access are included free on Pro but cost extra on Lite and Essential.
