Published pricing against an evaluation that starts with a call

Seek is where Australian recruitment happens, and a product without a working Seek relationship is not a serious contender for an Australian desk. JobAdder's Seek integration and its established local base are real advantages that a newer vendor does not match by writing about it.

Surhires includes a Seek connector in the Professional plan alongside Naukri and CV-Library, plus multi-board job posting that is shipping and being extended. The Australian market configuration also carries labour-hire licensing fields by state and Working Rights checks against visa class, because those are the requirements that actually differ locally.

Working Rights handling is described as capability rather than compliance: document capture with expiry reminders against the candidate record. The verification itself is a workflow you run, not a certification we hold on your behalf.

Every feature page on this site carries a status: shipping today, shipping and being extended, in build, or planned. That is unusual and it is deliberate, because the most expensive discovery in software buying is finding in week three that a demo showed a roadmap.

Live today: candidate management, applicant tracking, pipeline management, AI candidate matching, resume parsing, bulk resume import, AutoShortlist, ten of the twelve named agents, AI interview calls, WhatsApp messaging, interview scheduling, offer letters, assessments, the mobile recruiter app and the candidate blacklist.

In build for Wave 1: talent pools, the client portal, structured data import, consent and retention tooling, the Chrome extension, interview kits, source-of-hire attribution and Bullhorn migration assistance. Planned: the AI Notetaker, the AI Sourcing Agent and multi-channel sequencing. That list is on the site whether or not it helps a sale.

Australian and UK desks both run on messaging, and the conversation usually ends up on a recruiter's personal phone because the CRM never offered anywhere better. That costs a firm twice: once at handover when the history is gone, and again when nobody can reconstruct what was promised to a candidate.

Surhires ships WhatsApp Business API messaging on Professional with templates, opt-in capture and every message written to the candidate activity stream, with WhatsApp basics on Starter. Email cadences and candidate communication are shipping and being extended, nurture sequences are in build, and multi-channel sequencing across email, WhatsApp and SMS in one flow is planned.

SMS sending requires your own carrier registration where local rules demand it. We provide the fields and the sending integration; the registration is yours, and we say so rather than implying that buying software solves a regulatory obligation.

Surhires is not an HRIS, a payroll system, a background-check provider or an assessment platform. There is no pay-and-bill module and none is planned for Wave 1. Placement invoicing raises and tracks the first invoice against a placement rather than running a contractor billing book.

AUD prices on this site are conversions from the USD figures and are flagged as unconfirmed pending a founder decision. They are not an Australian price sheet and should not be treated as one during a procurement process.

SOC 2 is a readiness programme in progress with a Type I report as the first deliverable. No Type II report is claimed until one has been issued, and the trust page carries the current state.

If you are an Australian agency whose desk runs on Seek and whose team already knows JobAdder, it is a strong and well-established answer. The local integration depth, the support presence in the region and the size of the installed base all matter in ways that are hard to replicate, and a vendor with an established Australian footprint carries less risk for a firm that cannot afford a bad platform decision.

It is also the better choice if your procurement process values a long operating history and local references over published pricing, or if you need capability across a wider back-office surface than recruitment software covers.

Surhires is the better fit for an AU or UK desk that wants to compare a real number before booking a call, that values WhatsApp-native candidate communication and AI matching inside a $49 plan, and that is comfortable buying from an early vendor that publishes what it has not built.
