Katara vs. the hiring stack
Agencies, sourcing seats, applicant trackers. Most teams pay for all three. Katara does the job of each for one flat rate.
One senior hire through an agency costs more than 50 years of Katara.
Agencies get paid when someone signs. Whether that person is still with you in month thirteen isn't their problem. Skip the agency fee and keep the relationship.
Stop paying to be ignored.
A Recruiter Lite seat gets you a few dozen cold InMails a month, sent to people who never said they were looking. On Katara, every engineer you message has already raised their hand.
Sourcing, applicants and onboarding. One board.
Most applicant trackers start once someone applies and stop once they sign. Katara starts earlier and keeps going after.
If you hire across many departments or depend on deep HR integrations, keep your ATS and use Katara for engineers.
Competitor prices are third-party estimates as of October 2026 and vary by plan, seats and region. Greenhouse doesn't publish its pricing. The 50-year figure assumes a 20% fee on a $95k salary.
