Find the Perfect Plan to Build Your Fellowship

What happens if I go over my monthly candidate screening limit?

Free plan: Screening stops until next month. Paid plans: You can continue screening with pay-as-you-go overage rates at just $0.01 per additional candidate, so your hiring workflow never gets interrupted.

How long does my free plan last?

The free plan is permanent. You can continue using it indefinitely with 30 monthly screenings, or upgrade anytime for more features.

How many resumes can I upload at once?

Free plan: Upload up to 10 resumes at a time. Paid plans: Upload up to 50 resumes at once for efficient batch processing.

What file types do you support for resumes?

We currently support PDF, DOCX, Pages, and TXT files. You can also upload a ZIP file containing multiple resumes in these formats, and our system will automatically extract and process each one.

What's the maximum file size for resume uploads?

Each resume file can be up to 20MB. ZIP files containing multiple resumes are also supported and automatically extracted.

How accurate is the AI scoring system?

Our AI scoring is based on comprehensive analysis of skills, experience, and qualifications. While highly accurate, it's designed to assist your decision-making, not replace human judgment.

What does the AI Strictness slider do?

The strictness setting (1-10) controls how selectively the AI matches candidates. Lower numbers = more lenient matching, higher numbers = stricter criteria matching.

Can I override the AI's decisions?

Absolutely. The AI provides recommendations, but you have full control to shortlist or reject any candidate regardless of their score.

How does overage billing work?

Overage charges are calculated monthly based on additional screenings beyond your plan limit. You'll be billed automatically through your payment method at just $0.01 per extra screening - no surprises, no complex pricing.

Can I switch plans anytime?

Yes! You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. When upgrading, you'll get immediate access to your new screening limit. When downgrading, the change takes effect at your next billing cycle.

Do you offer API access?

Yes! All plans include API access. Use our REST API, CLI tool, or Python SDK to integrate AI screening into your apps and AI agents. The free plan includes 30 API calls/month. View API Docs →

What integration options are available for AI workspaces?

We offer multiple ways to integrate. 1-click prompts for business users, or programmatic options for developers:

• • 1-Click Prompts - The easiest way to connect Claude, ChatGPT, etc.
• • CLI Tool - Run from terminal: npm install -g hiresquire-cli
• • Python SDK - For LangChain/AutoGen: pip install hiresquire
• • MCP Server - For Claude Desktop/VS Code agents
• • GPT Plugin - For ChatGPT Custom GPTs
• • REST API - Full programmatic access

Can AI agents self-discover HireSquire capabilities?

Yes! Agents can fetch /.well-known/agent-instructions.json for a self-describing manifest of all available tools, endpoints, and authentication requirements. Or simply copy our skill file into any agent's system prompt for instant setup.

What types of AI agents can integrate with HireSquire?

Any agent with HTTP capability can integrate:

• • Claude Code / OpenCode / Codex - via CLI
• • LangChain / AutoGen agents - via Python SDK
• • Claude Desktop / VS Code AI - via MCP server
• • ChatGPT Custom GPTs - via GPT Plugin
• • Custom agents - via REST API

How flexible is the system for different agent workflows?

Very flexible. Agents can:

• • Submit screening jobs and poll for results
• • Set up webhooks for async notifications
• • Compare multiple candidates side-by-side
• • Cancel running jobs
• • Report hiring outcomes to improve AI accuracy
• • Generate follow-up emails to candidates

Do you support webhooks for agent workflows?

Yes. Configure a webhook URL in your account settings to receive POST notifications when screening jobs complete. Webhooks include job ID, status, and results summary. You can also test your webhook endpoint with POST /api/v1/webhooks/test.

Can AI agents query their usage and limits?

Yes! Agents can check their rate limits via the API: GET /api/v1/rate-limit returns remaining requests and reset time. For screening usage vs plan limits, agents can also check their account's job post results which include candidate counts.

What happens when an AI agent hits rate limits?

Our CLI tool and Python SDK automatically retry with exponential backoff (up to 3 attempts) for 429 (rate limit) and 503 (service unavailable) errors. This makes agents resilient to temporary load spikes without manual intervention.

Is it safe for AI agents to use API keys on signup?

Yes. API tokens are tied to user accounts with the same permissions and rate limits. We recommend storing tokens in secure vaults (environment variables, secret managers) rather than code. Tokens can be regenerated anytime from your dashboard if compromised. All API traffic is encrypted over HTTPS.

What are Agent API Keys and how do they help control costs?

Agent API keys are dedicated credentials for AI agents with built-in spend controls. Set daily, monthly, or lifetime spending limits. When an agent approaches its limit, get notified via webhook and the key automatically stops working. This gives you complete cost control while allowing agents to operate autonomously.

How do prepaid credits work for AI agents?

Prepaid credits let agents screen candidates without subscription overhead. Purchase credit satchels (Pouch $5/500, Satchel $25/2750+250 bonus, Chest $100/12000+2000 bonus). Agents use credits as needed - no monthly minimums. Enable auto-reload to automatically purchase more credits when balance runs low (below $1 or 5% of your largest purchase).

How do agents purchase credits without human intervention?

Agents can purchase credits programmatically using the Stripe Payment Intents API:

• • Save a payment method in your account settings
• • Agents call POST /api/v1/credits/purchase with payment method ID
• • No browser required - 100% API-based
• • Works with auto-reload for fully autonomous operation
• • Supports 3D Secure authentication when required

Can I get notified when my AI agent spends a certain amount?

Yes! Configure usage webhooks to receive notifications when:

• • Daily spend reaches your threshold
• • Agent key is about to hit its limit
• • Credit balance falls below $1
• • Credits are exhausted

This keeps you informed without agents needing to ask for permission for every action.
