All-in-One Pricing, No Hidden Fees

HigherMe delivers simple, all-in-one hiring software pricing—unlike CareerPlug's complex add-ons and extra fees. Get full access to every feature you need to recruit and onboard efficiently, with no hidden costs and no budget surprises.

Michelle Murray • Jimmy John’s Franchisee

“The cost is great. The system saves me time, effort, and money. It’s user-friendly and easy to train new managers.”

Exceptional US-Based Customer Support

When you need help, you shouldn’t have to wait in endless queues or talk to someone who doesn’t understand your business. HigherMe offers fast, friendly support from a team right here in the US—so you can get back to hiring quickly.

Brian Brown, Franchise Owner • Jersey Mike’s Subs

“HigherMe support has been nothing short of outstanding. It’s rare these days to get such personalized support.”

Tools That Speed Up Your Hiring

Video Cover Letters

Get to know applicants beyond a resume. HigherMe’s unique video cover letters let you quickly screen for personality and fit—something CareerPlug doesn’t offer.

Christina Gower • Director of Operations, Teriyaki Madness

“I love the video cover letters—it gives me a sense of someone’s energy and personality.”

One-Click Interview Scheduling

Schedule interviews with a single click and avoid the back-and-forth emails. Both platforms offer scheduling, but HigherMe’s streamlined interface makes it even easier.

Simple, Modern User Experience

HigherMe was built for modern hiring managers and business owners—not for clunky enterprise systems. The intuitive design makes it easy for your team to navigate, even if they’re not tech-savvy. CareerPlug users often report challenges with outdated navigation and multiple logins.

Debbie McGrath • Owner, Firehouse Subs Franchisee

“HigherMe is very easy to use and navigate. It’s hands down the best hiring platform I’ve ever used.”

Hire Faster, Hire Better

Switching to HigherMe means:

Filling roles faster
Saving time on screening and scheduling
A better experience for both managers and applicants
Transparent, all-in-one pricing
Peace of mind with reliable US-based support

Liz Henderson • Director of Operations, Fuzzy’s Taco Shop

“We went from days of hiring to hiring in 24 hours.”
