The JobCop pricing pledge

Candidates pay $0. Forever.

The people getting ghosted are not the customer. To keep the lights on the beat, we charge the other side of the table — employers, training programs, and clearly labeled sponsors. That's the deal, in writing.

Always free

How JobCop funds the beat

Money comes from the other side of the table.

Four revenue lanes. None of them touch job seekers. Each one is either the employer paying to prove they're serious, or a program that improves the beat.

Sponsored Reports

Our weekly Blotter and market reports can carry a single, clearly-labeled sponsor per issue. Ad-tech-free. No tracking pixels, no candidate-side ads, no dark patterns. If a sponsor's own transparency score is under 75, we say no.

  • ·One sponsor per issue, plainly labeled
  • ·Never shown to candidates in-app
  • ·Sponsor's own JobCop grade published alongside
  • ·No third-party tracking or retargeting

Data & Research Licensing

Aggregate, anonymized labor-market signals licensed to researchers, journalists, and policy shops. Never individual candidate data. Never resold to ad networks or hiring platforms that would use it against candidates.

  • ·Anonymized market reports and pillar trends
  • ·API access to aggregated company scores
  • ·Custom cuts for research + policy work
  • ·Strict no-resale clause

The Pricing Pledge

A transparency tool that gatekeeps transparency is just another paywall. So we commit to these rules in public, and we'll amend them in public if that ever changes:

  • §Candidates will never pay to file a report, run a search, or talk to Dep.
  • §Employer grades will never be improved by paying us — money changes the badge, not the score.
  • §No ads shown to candidates inside the app. Ever.
  • §No selling or licensing individual candidate data. Ever.
  • §Sponsorships are single-sponsor, labeled, and rejected if the sponsor's own grade is poor.
  • §Every price change and new revenue line gets posted here first, in plain English.

Straight answers

Will candidate features ever go behind a paywall?

No. If we can't fund the beat from employers, training, and sponsors, we'll cut costs before we charge candidates.

Are you an ad network?

No. No tracking pixels, no retargeting, no candidate-side ads. Sponsored reports are one clearly labeled sponsor per issue, shown outside the candidate app surface.

Can a company buy a better grade?

No. Paying gets you the Badge Portal, the Academy, and a claimed profile. The 6-pillar score is calculated from behavior — money can't move it.

What about the Academy for recruiters?

Individual seats and team plans are opening in phases. Certificates on completion, and Graduate status appears on your company page.
