Total cost includes licenses, setup, migration, training and integration maintenance. Separating those items makes a subscription, a quotation and an internal spreadsheet comparable.

Configured HICE base rates, monthly per MAIN/BASIC user. Check the Pricing page for applicable tier, contract, taxes and Enterprise terms. Example in the Other markets tier: 5 MAIN + 25 BASIC = 177.00 USD/month. Assuming 1,000 for onboarding and 24 internal hours at 30, year one totals 3,844.00 USD. Additional budget inputs are assumptions.
The free plan includes up to 10 employees and 5000 CVs for companies; 500 CVs for freelancers.

Define the outcome and records
For this topic the control starts with CVs and applications for ChatGPT, access controls and shortlist review.
An ATS organizes applications, vacancies, stages and feedback. A candidate database retains profiles beyond one hiring process; a recruiting CRM connects client relationships to open searches. One person can have several applications, each with its own status.
Record vacancy requirements and criteria, link a candidate, assign the interview and save feedback and next action on the application. Test two vacancies for one profile: history must distinguish the decisions.
A pilot on the complete workflow
Test a CV using an acronym and one spelling out the same skill. Matching should show evidence and missing records; a ranking alone does not establish that a requirement is met.
Before the demo, write three required outcomes and one acceptable tradeoff. Value recovered time only after measuring on the same basis. Have the actual owner complete a cycle and retain errors, corrections and final output. If the pilot stops halfway, identify the missing module, integration or step in the quotation.
Rules, exceptions and work cost
Define who enters, corrects and approves records. Test an incomplete record, a duplicate and a change after closure. The decision changes when records can be exported with relationships rather than manually reconstructed. Count licenses, onboarding, team time and integration maintenance separately.
Apply the workflow in HICE
HICE offers AI chat on operational records and a connector for authorized data in compatible assistants, including ChatGPT and Claude. The proposition is using the same client, candidate and project database with user permissions and confirmed changes.
