Free for engineers, always
Creating a profile, being discovered by verified teams, and managing pitches is 100% free, forever. There are no hidden fees, no premium tiers for candidates, and no credit card required to sign up.
Why free?
Katara charges the hiring side — recruiters and teams — because they benefit from direct access to actively looking, pre-vetted talent. Engineers shouldn't have to pay to find their next great role; that's part of our talent-first manifesto.
No catch
- No application fees
- No cut of your compensation
- No premium profile upgrades
If anyone claiming to be Katara asks an engineer for payment, it isn't us — please report it to support.
