No. Katara is a subscription-based platform. Unlike traditional recruiters or job boards that take a 15–20% share of a candidate's first-year salary, you only pay for your monthly or annual access.

No. Katara is entirely human-driven. We do not use LLMs, automated bots, or algorithmic parsers. Engineers control exactly how they present their skills, and recruiters browse and evaluate talent purely through human assessment. This keeps our platform high-signal, high-trust, and completely spam-free.

To maintain a high-quality experience for our talent community, we manually review every team. Verified status confirms that you are a legitimate hiring team with transparent roles, ensuring your outreach is prioritised in candidate inboxes.

Yes, completely. Creating a profile, being discovered by teams, and managing pitches is always free for talent. We believe exceptional professionals should never have to pay to find their next great role.

Absolutely. You can upgrade to annual billing at any time to take advantage of the 20% discount. If you choose to cancel, your access will remain active until the end of your current billing period.
