CV databases charge monthly. We charge per CV.

With a CV database you pay a licence and still do the searching and screening yourself. With SOURCD, our team does that work and you pay only for the candidates you unlock.

When a CV database makes sense

If you have a full-time recruiter searching every day across many roles, a monthly licence can pay off.

When SOURCD makes sense

If you hire occasionally, run a small agency, or don't have time to search and screen, paying per screened CV costs far less.

Brief a role in five minutes.
