Does talent pay anything?+
Talent is always free. There are no talent paywalls, premium visibility fees, or pay-to-play. Talent never pays to join, build a Passport, match, receive support, meet a hiring leader, or accept a job.
How do the two licenses differ?+
A standard Company license starts at $12,000 per year for one employer, billed annually, with unlimited authorized hiring-team seats. Bring the people who want to work with your company into your own participating network. Use Passports, role and manager context, explained matching, mutual introductions, scheduling, interview preparation, and hiring workflow. Member, matching, implementation, and support capacity are agreed in your signed order. A standard VC Portfolio license starts at $60,000 per year for up to 10 named portfolio companies, billed annually, with unlimited authorized team seats. Additional companies start at $6,000 per company per year. Give each participating employer its own workspace, hiring leaders, roles, and decisions within a consent-based portfolio network. Member and matching capacity is pooled and defined in the signed order. Selective six-month pilot partnerships at a reduced cost. Preferred licensing rates for six months. Access the same core sii{me} features at a reduced pilot rate, with your rollout scope agreed together. Contact the team through the form to explore pilot partnership pricing. Participating employers, member and matching capacity, implementation, and support are agreed in signed scope; a shorter term does not promise identical usage capacity. Pilot pricing is confirmed separately before service starts. A very limited number of pilot partnerships is offered to selected companies and VC portfolios. Availability is shared across Company and VC Portfolio licenses, with each rollout scoped separately. An inquiry does not reserve a place. Availability review and a signed pilot agreement confirm participation. The pilot covers six months only. Renewal requires a new written quote and terms agreed before the renewal starts. There is no automatic conversion or renewal charge. New licenses have no per-role, per-seat, placement, success, or per-hire fee. Larger usage and implementation needs are scoped within the same two offers.
Are team seats unlimited?+
Yes. Both licenses include unlimited authorized hiring-team seats. That does not expand the signed number of employers or the agreed member, matching, implementation, and support capacity. Each account retains its role and workspace permissions.
Do you charge when we make a hire?+
No. New Company and VC Portfolio licenses have no placement, success, per-hire, per-role, or per-seat fee. The annual license pays for software and the scope in the signed order.
What does the six-month pilot partnership include?+
Selective six-month pilot partnerships at a reduced cost. Preferred licensing rates for six months. Access the same core sii{me} features at a reduced pilot rate, with your rollout scope agreed together. Contact the team through the form to explore pilot partnership pricing. Participating employers, member and matching capacity, implementation, and support are agreed in signed scope; a shorter term does not promise identical usage capacity. Pilot pricing is confirmed separately before service starts. A very limited number of pilot partnerships is offered to selected companies and VC portfolios. Availability is shared across Company and VC Portfolio licenses, with each rollout scoped separately. An inquiry does not reserve a place. Availability review and a signed pilot agreement confirm participation.
What happens after the pilot?+
The pilot covers six months only. Renewal requires a new written quote and terms agreed before the renewal starts. There is no automatic conversion or renewal charge.
Does one price cover any enterprise workload?+
No. Company is the license type for one employer, from a startup to a large enterprise. Larger member populations, assessment volume, implementation needs, and support are quoted within that same offer. VC Portfolio capacity is pooled across its named companies.
How does licensing get started?+
The sii{me} team confirms the license edition, pilot or standard annual scope, participating employers, capacity, implementation, support, and signed terms before service begins. Self-service checkout is not available yet. A pricing request, invitation, account, or public price does not activate a license or authorize a charge. Provisioning requires an executed order and confirmed payment or invoice authorization. The pilot covers six months only. Renewal requires a new written quote and terms agreed before the renewal starts. There is no automatic conversion or renewal charge.
How do people join through our website?+
An authorized workspace administrator can enable a company entry page and share its sii{me} link from the company’s own website. New visitors create a free account and Passport; existing members sign in and reuse theirs. Each person explicitly chooses that company connection. General Winter and Summer membership cohorts remain separate.
Do members see job listings?+
The private member company directory shows basic information from companies that choose to be listed. It does not expose roles, job titles, private hiring activity, or an application queue. Relevant opportunities are considered through the private matching workflow.
Are active roles billed individually?+
An active opportunity is a verified role currently receiving matching support within a licensed workspace. Concurrent opportunities, participating talent, and matching assessments are capacity controls, not per-role billing units. Pausing a role stops its new matching; the license continues through its signed term.
Can we run sii{me} offline?+
sii{me} is a hosted online service. Use it in your browser and, on compatible devices, add it to your desktop or home screen. An internet connection is required for live platform workflows. A browser installation does not install an independent backend or provide offline matching.
Does a license guarantee matches or hires?+
No. Participation, verification, relevant role evidence, review, and mutual interest still matter. The software supports evaluation and coordination; people make career and employment decisions.
What about an existing signed agreement?+
Your signed agreement determines your fees. Existing signed agreements remain in effect unless both parties agree to a change in writing. Current pricing does not amend an existing agreement or authorize a payment.
Can paying change a match or reveal private information?+
Payment never changes fit, confidence, ranking, visibility, evidence standards, or release readiness. Portfolio administrators receive permitted aggregate reporting and workspace metadata, never private Talent Passports, ranking logic, private notes, or member contact data by virtue of that role. Employer workspaces retain their own permissions.
