ChatGPT for recruitment agencies
How much does AI cost for a recruitment agency in Dubai?
For most Dubai recruitment and staffing agencies, AI starts with one Custom ChatGPT Skill for a single job, such as turning a CV and recruiter notes into a client submission, and then moves to a fixed-price START, GROW or RUN package for the team. These are one-time implementation fees. Your ATS stays as it is, and the only ongoing cost is the ChatGPT subscription, paid directly to OpenAI.
The short answer
| Level | Price | Typical recruitment scope |
|---|---|---|
| Custom Skill | AED 97 | One job: candidate submission, JD writer, interview prep or client follow-up. 30-day refund. |
| START | AED 3,500 | Founder and 1–3 recruiters: submissions, JDs, candidate messages. |
| GROW | AED 7,500 | Whole desk: adds screening questionnaires, interview prep, client reporting and training. |
| RUN | AED 15,000 | Several desks or branches: adds sourcing workflows, pipeline brief, approvals and access rules. |
One-time implementation fees. ChatGPT subscriptions are paid to OpenAI; see current ChatGPT prices in the UAE.
What you get for it: a real example
Our sister company Talent Bridge, a Dubai recruitment and executive search business, uses ChatGPT across 21 recruitment stages. In one measured sourcing batch, active candidates after quality control grew from about 80 to 119. That is one recorded result, not a promise for every agency. See the Talent Bridge case study.
What changes the price
- Number of workflows: one job is a Skill; submissions plus JDs plus candidate messages is START.
- Desks and specialisms: different templates per sector or client add setup.
- Languages: candidate messaging in several languages adds a glossary and tone guide.
- Controls: access rules between desks or clients point to GROW or RUN.
