Traditional recruitment agencies in India typically charge 15-20% of a hire's first-year salary — often ₹3-4L or more per role — and still take 4-6 weeks to deliver candidates. Switchly removes that cost entirely: post a job free, and the moment candidates apply, AI ranks them against your actual job description so you see a real shortlist instead of a resume pile. No agency, no placement fee, no waiting weeks for a pipeline.

No recruiter or ATS export step in between — see a ranked shortlist and reach out yourself.
“We closed a Senior Backend Engineer role in 4 days. Normally that takes 6 weeks. The AI ranking surfaced exactly what I asked for — right experience, right stack, right seniority level. No recruiter middleman, no noise.”
Rohit M.
CTO · early-stage fintech
“As an EM at a Series B, I don't have time for 300-resume batches. Switchly gave me 8 qualified candidates on day one. Three of them were stronger than anyone a recruiter ever sent me — at zero cost.”
Arjun S.

Is it really free to post jobs on Switchly?
Yes — the free tier includes up to 10 active job posts, unlimited applicants, AI candidate ranking, email notifications, and CSV export. No credit card required.
How much do recruitment agencies typically charge in India?
Standard recruitment agency fees in India typically run 15-20% of a hire's first-year salary. On a ₹20L role, that's ₹3-4L per hire — before accounting for the 4-6 week pipeline most agencies take to deliver candidates.
How does AI candidate ranking work?
The moment someone applies to your job, Switchly's AI scores their profile against your actual job description — skills, tech stack, seniority, and work-mode preference — semantically, not by keyword matching. You see a ranked shortlist with the reasoning behind each score, not a folder of unsorted resumes.
How is this different from posting on Naukri or LinkedIn?
Naukri and LinkedIn give you a firehose of applicants with no ranking — you're left to manually screen hundreds of resumes. Switchly ranks every applicant against your JD automatically and lets you message candidates directly, without a recruiter or ATS export step in between.
What if I need to hire more than 10 roles at once?
The free tier covers up to 10 active job posts at a time — plenty for most seed-to-Series-B hiring pace. If you're scaling faster than that, reach out and we'll work out what you need.
