Drivetube Hire — Hiring Without Job Postings

There is a genuinely free tier: 1 hiring role and 5 interview requests, no card required. Paid plans globally are Starter $149/month, Growth $249/month, Scale $499/month and Enterprise $999/month, with yearly billing available at a discount. In India: Starter ₹4,999/month, Growth ₹8,999/month, Scale ₹16,999/month and Enterprise ₹29,999/month. Role and request limits are identical in both regions — only the price book changes. Every plan is pooled across your company with unlimited team logins, never per-seat.

Free gives 5 interview requests as a lifetime total. Starter gives 125 per month, Growth 300, Scale 750 and Enterprise 2,000. Requests are pooled across your whole company rather than allocated per recruiter. If you run out on Starter, Growth or Scale you can buy extra requests individually ($5, $4 and $3 each respectively, or ₹149, ₹119 and ₹99 in India) or in bulk packs of 100 from $199 / ₹4,999. Enterprise is a deliberate hard cap with no extras.

You must sign up with a work email — free inboxes and temporary mail services are blocked — and Drivetube reviews and approves every company before granting access, which typically takes about two business days. Every account starts in a pending state until a human approves it. This is deliberate: candidates share a full resume plus salary, visa and notice details, so the employer side has to be verified for the candidate side to stay trustworthy.

You paste your real job description — not a keyword list — and AI matches it against candidates' true standard resumes. Each candidate is returned with a match percentage, the skills they have and the skills they are missing, and written reasoning explaining the match. Matching weighs skills most heavily, then role and title alignment, then experience fit, then location. You can set a minimum match score so candidates below your bar never appear in your list.

By removing the thing that makes tailoring possible. Candidates on Drivetube maintain exactly one profile containing a single standard resume — there is no per-job version to tailor and no application step to attach a tailored file to. When you match your job description against that profile, you are matching against the candidate's real, unchanged resume. Keyword injection against a specific JD is structurally impossible here, rather than something the platform tries to detect after the fact.

Only after they accept your interview request. You can see a candidate's full standard resume and Hiring Snapshot while deciding, but their email and phone stay masked until they consent. Once they accept, contact details are shared and a conversation opens. This consent step is why candidates keep their profiles complete and current.

Never. Drivetube Profiles are free for candidates forever, and only employers pay. This matters for supply: because there is no candidate paywall, the pool includes people who would not sign up for a paid sourcing product.

No, and that is intentional. Once a candidate accepts your interview request and shares contact details, scheduling and interviewing run entirely on your own process, off-platform. Drivetube handles matching and consented introduction; your hiring process stays yours. You can still track each candidate through Open, Contacted, Interviewing, Offered and Hired in your dashboard.

The United States, India, United Kingdom, Canada, Europe and Australia, with region-aware pricing determined by your company's onboarding country. Plan shapes — hiring roles and interview requests — are identical across regions; only the price book changes.

Yes, and the free tier is designed for exactly that: 1 hiring role and 5 interview requests with no card required. Paste a real job description you are actually hiring for and judge the match quality on your own role rather than on a demo. You will still need work-email signup and company approval first, which takes about two business days.

No. Every plan includes unlimited team logins, and both hiring roles and interview requests are pooled across your whole company. Adding a colleague costs nothing — you are only ever metered on interview requests. This is a deliberate contrast with per-seat sourcing tools, where a growing team means a growing bill regardless of hiring volume.

Recruitment agencies are commonly cited at 15–25% of first-year salary, which on a $100,000 role at 20% is around $20,000 for a single hire. Drivetube Hire is $1,788/year on Starter (5 roles, 1,500 interview requests), $2,988/year on Growth, $5,988/year on Scale (25 roles, 9,000 requests) and $11,988/year on Enterprise (unlimited roles, 24,000 requests). One agency placement costs roughly what three years of Starter costs, or more than a full year of Enterprise. There is also a genuinely free tier — 1 role and 5 interview requests, no card — so you can test match quality on a real role before paying anything.

It replaces the sourcing and screening stage, not your whole ATS. Keep your existing system for offers, compliance, approvals and onboarding. What Drivetube Hire replaces is the part that is failing: publishing a role, collecting hundreds of applications, and keyword-screening resumes that have been AI-tailored specifically to beat that screen. It also provides a light pipeline — Open, Contacted, Interviewing, Offered, Hired — so small teams hiring a few roles often need nothing else, while larger teams use it as a top-of-funnel layer feeding their existing ATS. Drivetube's resume templates are tested against 50+ real ATS platforms including Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Taleo and UKG, so candidate documents parse cleanly in whatever you already run.

By removing the discovery stage. In a conventional process you post a role, wait for applications, keyword-screen them, then spend up to four separate screening calls finding out whether the candidate needs visa sponsorship, what salary they expect, what notice they must serve and whether they will relocate — facts they knew on day one. On Drivetube Hire all four are on the candidate's Hiring Snapshot before you make contact, and candidates arrive pre-ranked with a match percentage, matched and missing skills, and written reasoning. You go from job description to interview request without a posting, an application queue, or a discovery call.

Because keyword screens assume the resume describes the candidate. Candidates now use AI to rewrite their resume against each specific job description, inserting the exact terms the posting uses — including skills they do not actually have. Those resumes clear keyword filters, reach the shortlist, and consume interview slots. Drivetube Hire removes the mechanism rather than trying to detect the result: every candidate maintains exactly one standard resume with no per-job version to tailor and no application step to attach a tailored file to, so matching against your job description is matching against their real, unchanged resume.

No. Every plan includes unlimited team logins, and both hiring roles and interview requests are pooled across your whole company. Adding a hiring manager or a colleague costs nothing. This is a deliberate contrast with per-seat sourcing tools, where the bill grows with the size of your team rather than with how much you actually hire — on Drivetube Hire you are metered on interview requests only.

Typically the first three to four. Visa and work authorisation status, expected salary, notice period, work preference and relocation willingness are all on the Hiring Snapshot of every candidate profile before you make contact. Those are the questions that normally consume the first screening call — and that most often surface a disqualifying mismatch, sometimes as late as offer stage. Your first real conversation with a candidate can be about the role rather than about logistics.

Yes, and it is shown for every candidate. Each match carries a match percentage against your job description, the specific skills they have and the skills they are missing, and a written 'why this match' explanation. You can also open their full standard resume and self-introduction. Matching weighs skills most heavily, then role and title alignment, then experience fit, then location, and you can set a minimum match score so candidates below your bar never reach your list.

Start on the free tier: 1 hiring role and 5 interview requests, no card required. If those five requests produce a hire, that hire cost nothing. Beyond that, Starter at $149/month (₹4,999 in India) gives 5 roles and 125 interview requests per month, pooled company-wide with unlimited team logins. Because there is no posting fee, no per-seat licence and no placement percentage, the cost of a hire on Drivetube Hire is a fraction of an agency fee — and it does not scale with your team size.
