When Cutshort might be the better fit

By Jais Augus, Head of Recruitment & Talent at Hire22.ai · Updated August 2026. "A flat monthly plan is a great deal if you're hiring constantly. Most of the teams asking us about alternatives are hiring in bursts, which is exactly where a pay-as-you-hire package stops penalizing you for a slow quarter."
