WHY PARSLEYHR
Hiring software shouldn't feel like a trap
Somewhere along the way, recruiting software for small business got complicated, expensive, and quietly dishonest. ParsleyHR is our answer - a simple applicant tracking system with flat pricing, no contracts, and no fine print.
How hiring software lost the plot
Hiring at a small business is hard enough. You're the owner, the manager, and the recruiter - often all before lunch. The whole point of an applicant tracking system is to make that simpler.
But somewhere along the way, a lot of recruiting software stopped being on your side. The price on the website became a starting bid. Plans got carved up so the basics - texting a candidate, scheduling an interview, seeing a real report - became extras you pay for one at a time. Sign-up pages were replaced with "book a demo" forms, because a number on a page is harder to negotiate than a number in a sales call.
Then came the contract. Twelve months, signed up front, on every plan - so even when the tool isn't working, leaving costs more than staying. And the caps: a plan that quietly only covers a few open jobs, or pricing that climbs with every employee you add, so growing your team somehow makes your software more expensive.
None of this is built for you. It's built to make switching painful and to make the bill bigger than the brochure. We think that's backwards. So we built the opposite.
The traps - and our answer to each
These are the practices we built ParsleyHR to refuse. Here's the difference, side by side.
Every plan locks you into a 12-month commitment. Decide it isn't working in month two, and you still pay for ten more.
No contract, ever. Pay month to month and cancel in two clicks - no early-termination fee, no phone call to be let out.
You're sold a plan, then discover it only covers a handful of open jobs. Hire for a fifth role and you hit a paywall.
Unlimited job postings on every plan. You will never see a "you've used your jobs" wall - hire as much as your business needs.
The price on the page isn't the price you pay. Texting, scheduling, and reporting all turn out to be extras bolted on at checkout.
Two flat plans, and the price you see is the price you pay. Power features are inside Pro - never a surprise line item.
Pricing quietly tiers on how many employees you have or how many users you add. Grow a little, and your bill jumps a lot.
Unlimited team users on every plan. Add the owner, every manager, and every interviewer - the price doesn't move.
You can't even see the product without booking a demo and sitting through a call before anyone tells you the real price.
Start free today - no demo gate, no sales rep, no waiting. A 14-day free trial with no credit card, and pricing in plain sight.
The ParsleyHR promise
Hiring software for small business should be simple, honest, and easy to leave. Here's what that means in practice.
Pricing you can read in one line
Core is $49/mo. Pro is $99/mo. That's the whole sentence - no asterisks, no "contact us," no quote that depends on who's asking.
Nothing you have to learn
ParsleyHR is built for owners and managers, not HR departments. You'll post your first job in 10 minutes without a training call.
Built only for small business
We don't chase enterprise. That means no mid-market feature bloat - just the tools a small team actually uses to hire.
Freedom to leave
No contract means we have to earn your business every month. If ParsleyHR stops being worth it, you cancel - and we mean that.
Looking at ParsleyHR vs JazzHR?
JazzHR is a capable tool, but it carries the habits a small business feels most: a year-long contract, pricing that's hard to pin down, and a feature set built for bigger teams. If you're comparing the two, here's the honest contrast.
