Hiring managers who still need interviews this month
You own the bar and the interviews. Mira runs sourcing, outreach, and booking so the req is not stuck behind someone else's queue.
Read →Hiring when nobody on the team owns recruiting
Nobody on the team has the continuous hours a search actually takes, and a paused search decays fast. The bottleneck was never finding candidates.
Read →Hiring when the recruiting team is buried in sourcing
In-house TA keeps intake, the bar, and the interviews. Mira runs sourcing, outreach, screening, and scheduling. Subscriptions start at $99/mo.
Read →Keep the search-firm fee. Compress the pipeline hours.
Sourcing, first outreach, screening, and scheduling can sit on a usage-based subscription. Intake, the client, and the placement stay with the firm.
Read →Engineering roles that stay open too long
Every serious evaluation costs senior engineering hours, so the funnel starves long before the market runs out of names.
Read →Healthcare AI talent, not a shift-fill desk
Hospital AI and clinical-AI companies need people fluent in both workflow and models. Metix maps that pool. It is not a high-volume nurse staffing product.
Read →Security engineering search on a public talent graph
Find security engineers, detection talent, and security ML on 860M+ profiles. Clearance, if the role needs it, stays an employer check. We do not sell a cleared-talent pool.
Read →Fintech engineering and the quant-AI corridor
Thirty fintech engineering orgs and a 25-firm quant-to-lab corridor are already mapped on this site. Mira books the interviews. You keep the compliance bar.
Read →Hiring across borders without setting up an entity
Cross-border hiring breaks after the offer, not before it. The candidate exists; the entity, contract and payroll chain is what kills the hire.
Read →What candidate sourcing actually is
Sourcing finds people who have not applied. Recruiting finishes the hire. Most tools stop at a list. Ask what lands on the calendar.
Read →Talent mapping is a picture of the market, not a hire
A map shows who works where and who is stuck. It does not book the interview. Use it to write the bar. Then run the search.
Read →Active sourcing is a continuous job
Outbound search works until the week fills with other work. The stall is follow-through, not Boolean. Tools that hand back a list do not fix that.
Read →Proactive recruiting is search before the req is on fire
The 44-day fill clock includes days nobody was looking. Write the bar early. Keep the conversation alive. A stale spreadsheet is not a pipeline.
Read →Usage-based recruiting pricing
Credits meter product usage rather than candidates or outcomes.
Read →Metix AI vs a recruiting agency: the fee versus the booked interview
SHRM's 2016 guidance puts contingency fees at 20 to 25 percent of first-year cash. On a $120,000 hire that is $24,000 to $30,000, a derivation. Metix AI subscriptions run $99 to $499 a month. When the agency earns the fee, and when subscription software fits.
Read →Pay-per-candidate recruiting: what the credit actually buys
Pay per candidate covers several different meters. Metix is included as a contrast because it now charges a $99–$499 subscription with usage Credits, not per candidate. Picked is $0.99/inbound vet; Recruo is $300–$2,500; Hire22 uses INR unlocks.
Read →Interview-ready in 24 hours: what the clock actually starts
On Metix, 24 hours means a confirmed calendar slot: 95 percent of roles, vendor-reported, first interview scheduled, not a same-day meeting. Other vendor clocks opened August 2026.
Read →ATS vs AI recruiter: what's the difference?
An ATS governs the interview record. An AI recruiter creates qualified conversations. You may need one, the other, or both, connected.
Read →How to reduce time to hire without lowering candidate quality
Split the hiring clock into waiting, evidence, and decision. Cut the first. Redesign the second. Pair every speed metric with a quality guardrail.
Read →AI recruiter vs human recruiter: tasks, cost and outcomes
AI recruiter and human recruiter compared by task, cost unit, and outcomes. Hybrid is the usual answer. The employer keeps the decision.
Read →55 roles in parallel, one hiring owner
One person ran dozens of cross-functional searches at once. Manual outreach was the cap. Mira took the repetitive 80 percent; the hiring owner kept the 20 percent that needs a human.
Read →One in ten product managers said they were interested
Strong product managers rarely look. This account wrote to each person, put salary and remote policy in the first email, and ran at 11.4 percent reply and 10.0 percent interest.
Read →No recruiter on the team. Still a full pipeline.
Zero recruiting headcount. In six weeks the team had 141 interested candidates and 71 resumes. Hiring managers stepped in only for the final pick.
Read →In cold outreach, getting seen is the first advantage
Engineering inboxes vary. This account opened at 62.5 percent, replied at 9.2 percent, and turned that into 98 interested engineers. Personalization only matters after the mail arrives.
Read →They came back and ran it again
A scarce hybrid role with almost no inbound. Round one proved the flow in February. In April the same team reused it as-is, one day from decision to launch.
Read →The real cost of LinkedIn Recruiter, from Lite to Corporate
Recruiter Lite is $170 a month, published on a help-center page rather than the marketing site; Recruiter Corporate publishes no price at all. The full LinkedIn Recruiter ladder priced from LinkedIn's own pages, with the annual math derived in the open. Checked August 2026.
Read →Everything that goes into cost per hire, including what nobody invoices you for
SHRM's benchmark average is $4,683 and its median is $1,244 (2021 data, published 2022), but the biggest cost-per-hire line appears on neither: hiring-manager and interviewer hours, which nobody invoices. The full component list, tool prices checked August 2026, and the hours-times-loaded-rate method for pricing the invisible slice.
Read →Per-candidate vs per-seat pricing: compare the full cost
A seat and an AI-agent subscription both bill for access, but include different work and usage. Published prices: Recruiter Lite $170 a month, SeekOut Core $149 annual, hireEZ $494, versus Metix AI at $99 to $499 with Credits and AI Agents.
Read →Agency commission versus software subscription: where the break-even sits
A contingency fee is 20 to 25 percent of first-year pay in SHRM's 2016 guidance, and a year of recruiting software runs $1,680 to $5,928 at list, checked August 2026. We work the break-even at three salary levels and show why the sticker comparison misleads.
Read →ATS pricing compared, and what the per-seat number leaves out
Five of eight ATS vendors publish a price, three publish none, and not one puts an implementation fee on its pricing page. Entry prices, what each meter counts, and what the list price leaves out, checked August 2026.
Read →Every hiring tool sells one slice of the work
Every hiring tool sells one slice of the work and hands the rest back. How the market really splits, how usage-based pricing works, and how Metix AI delivers interview-ready candidates.
