How Recruit Wizard pricing works
The core platform is priced per user on an annual commitment, billed monthly, with analytics included. Video interviewing and automation are per-user add-ons, digital references and document signing are usage based, and email marketing is month-to-month. Implementation, onboarding and migration are scoped separately. Volume discounts may be available for teams of 20 or more, and quotes are in AUD excluding tax.
Migration
Switching from JobAdder
Migration and onboarding are scoped by our team. We review the data available from JobAdder, map candidate, client, contact, job and activity records into Recruit Wizard, and confirm the cutover plan before launch. Timing depends on the quality, format and volume of the source data.
If your JobAdder database has duplicates, outdated contact details or missing fields, our outsourced admin team can cleanse and enrich records as part of the move, so recruiters start with cleaner data.
Implementation covers platform configuration, user setup, workflow mapping and training, and our support team stays with you after launch.
FAQ
Recruit Wizard vs JobAdder questions
What is the main difference between Recruit Wizard and JobAdder?
Both combine a recruitment CRM and ATS. JobAdder packages AI, automation and analytics into Recruiter Lite, Essential and Pro tiers with separately priced add-ons, and is part of the SEEK Group. Recruit Wizard builds CRM, ATS, AI, automation, SMS, e-signing and analytics as one connected platform, with implementation, migration, support and outsourced admin from the same Sydney-based team.
Does JobAdder publish its prices?
No. On 28 October 2026, the JobAdder pricing page listed its plans with "Request pricing" rather than price figures, and said annual contracts are standard with monthly or yearly payment. Recruit Wizard also quotes per team and does not publish price figures, but explains its pricing model and offers a pricing calculator.
Can Recruit Wizard migrate our data from JobAdder?
Yes. Recruit Wizard supports data migration from existing recruitment CRM and ATS platforms, including JobAdder. Our team reviews the available data, maps candidate, client, contact, job and activity records, and plans a controlled move. Migration, implementation and onboarding are scoped separately, and outsourced data cleansing is available if records need work first.
How is Recruit Wizard priced?
The core platform is priced per user on an annual commitment, billed monthly, with analytics included. Video interviewing and automation are per-user add-ons, digital references and document signing are usage based, and email marketing is month-to-month. Implementation, onboarding and migration are scoped separately, volume discounts may be available for teams of 20 or more, and quotes are in AUD excluding tax.
Where is Recruit Wizard customer data hosted?
Customer data for Australian and New Zealand customers is hosted in Australia on Microsoft Azure (Australia East and Australia Southeast). Customers outside Australia and New Zealand may be hosted in the United States, the United Kingdom or the European Union.
Does Recruit Wizard AI make hiring decisions?
No. Recruit Wizard AI can suggest questions, summarise records, rate suitability and explain the information behind a recommendation, but recruiters review the evidence and make every recruitment or hiring decision.
Is Recruit Wizard an ATS or a CRM?
Both. Candidate, contact, client, job, application, submission and placement records are connected in one platform, so business development and delivery teams work from the same relationship history. Automation, analytics, communication and AI extend that shared recruitment database.
