Agency recruiters tend to spend the most on job advertising and on LinkedIn: Recruiter or Sales Navigator seats, Premium subscriptions and sponsored posts.
Indeed and LinkedIn Premium and Sales Navigator are on Incard's eligible software list, and LinkedIn Ads is on its advertising list. Calendly and DocuSign, which recruiters use to book interviews and sign contracts, are on the software list too.
With team cards on every plan, each consultant can pay for their own seat on a separate card.
