How Hirefield compares for a small team, what it costs in rand, and what you get before you pay anything. For the story behind the platform, see about Hirefield.
Hirefield is a recruitment platform built specifically for small businesses in South Africa, and it starts free: the Basic plan carries two job postings and the full hiring pipeline at R0 during launch.
Paid plans run from R199 to R4999 per month in rand, there is no commission on a hire and no per-candidate fee, and candidates always use it free.
Hirefield gives a small team everything needed to hire one person at a time: job postings, applications in one dashboard, screening questions, a drag-and-drop pipeline and AI CV sorting.
Hirefield costs employers R0 to R4999 per month, paid in rand and billed monthly — the Basic plan is free during launch and carries two open job postings, and the top plan is R4999 for 50 postings.
Basic (2 jobs) is R0 during launch, then R299/month; Growth (6 jobs) is R199 launch price, then R699; Pro (10 jobs, with AI CV sorting) is R299 launch price, then R999; Enterprise (50 jobs) is R4999/month.
There is no setup fee, no commission on a hire, no per-candidate charge and no annual contract. The launch price is held for the first 50 companies on the platform, and payment is made monthly through Yoco.
Every Hirefield plan includes job postings, the applicant pipeline, CVs and cover notes, screening questions and a public company profile; the higher plans add analytics and AI.
Hirefield is a flat monthly fee no matter how many people you hire, which is different from the cost-per-hire figures quoted by employer-cost and recruitment-fee calculators.
Those benchmarks usually bundle advertising, recruiter or agency fees and onboarding, and agency placements are commonly charged as a share of the hire’s annual salary — so the bill grows with the salary and the number of hires. A Hirefield plan does not: R199 to R4 999 a month covers your hiring, and hiring ten people on Pro costs the same as hiring one.
Hirefield replaces the recruitment tool spend (job adverts, screening, applicant tracking). It is not payroll, an employer-of-record service or a background checker, so employment costs and onboarding stay wherever they are today.
You are charged monthly, and only once you choose Growth, Pro or Enterprise — creating a company profile and posting on Basic costs nothing during launch.
Each Yoco payment produces an invoice you can download from the Billing page inside your company dashboard, and any question about a charge goes to help@hirefield.co.za, usually answered within one business day.
Those are the global tools the “best recruitment software for small business” articles compare, and they are strong products — but they are priced in US dollars and built around US hiring practice and HR suites, not South African SMEs.
Yes — Hirefield’s Basic plan is free during launch and includes two open job postings plus the full pipeline, and candidates use Hirefield free forever.
You create a company profile and post a job without a card; upgrading to Growth or Pro is what starts a monthly payment.
No — Hirefield is built for one person running hiring alongside their day job, which is how most South African small businesses hire.
Questions go to help@hirefield.co.za, or to a support ticket inside your dashboard if you are signed in, and we usually reply within one business day.
