Free for NGOs and non-profits

Free ATS for NGOs and non-profits, worldwide.

Registered non-profits get the full hiring platform at no cost — not a crippled tier, not a 90-day trial. You are hiring programme staff and field teams on restricted budgets; the software should not be the thing that costs you a donor's money.

01 What you actually need it to do

What non-profit hiring needs that corporate software ignores.

Field hiring

Hiring for the field, not the office

Your roles are in districts, not head office.

Location-radius screening, local-language applications and WhatsApp-first contact, so a community mobiliser in a rural block can apply and be interviewed without a laptop or a stable inbox.

Local-language applications

Apply and screen in the language the candidate speaks.

WhatsApp screening

Reach candidates who do not check email daily.

Radius and district filters

Match candidates to the block or district a role actually serves.

Mobile-first

The whole flow works on a mid-range phone and a weak connection.

Reporting

Donors who want evidence

Grant reports that do not need a spreadsheet weekend.

Cost per hire, time to fill, gender and representation splits, and grant-code attribution for every role — exportable in the format your donor asks for.

Grant-code attribution

Tag each requisition to a project or grant line and report on it.

Representation reporting

Pipeline composition tracked without exposing demographics to interviewers.

Export-ready

CSV, PDF or a shareable link for your programme and finance teams.

Audit trail

Every decision recorded, which matters when a grant is audited.

Mixed workforce

Volunteers, consultants and secondments

Not everyone you recruit is an employee.

Paid staff, volunteers, short-term consultants and partner secondments run in the same system with different workflows, documents and approvals.

Separate workflows

Volunteer intake does not need an offer letter or a payroll record.

Documents by type

Police verification, child-safeguarding declarations, consultant contracts.

Recurring intakes

Seasonal and campaign-based volunteer drives reused year on year.

One database

A volunteer who becomes a programme officer keeps their history.

Support

A two-person people team

You do not have an HR technology function.

We set the workspace up with you, import your existing candidate lists, build your first three scorecards, and train your team in one session. Support is the same queue paying customers use.

Set-up done with you

Not a login and a help article — a working configuration.

Data import included

Existing spreadsheets and inboxes brought in and de-duplicated.

Training for your team

One 45-minute session, recorded, plus a written playbook for your context.

Same support queue

No lower tier of service because you are not paying.

02 Before and after

What changes for your programme team.

Today

Applications arrive in a shared Gmail account nobody owns

Shortlists live in a spreadsheet that three people edit at once

Interview notes are in a notebook, or nowhere

Grant reporting on hiring takes a weekend to assemble

Software budget is the first line a funder questions

With Pitch N Hire

One pipeline per role, visible to programme leads and coordinators

AI-ranked shortlists with reasons, on a phone if that is all you have

Structured scorecards, comparable across interviewers and districts

Grant-code reporting exported in minutes, audit trail attached

Nothing on the software line at all

03 Run the numbers

What you would otherwise spend.

Your annual hires and the size of your HR or people team.

The model takes two inputs from you and returns four figures. Here is each figure and the assumption it rests on — we run it on your own numbers on the call rather than publishing a result for a company we have not met.

Roles you hire a yearPeople on your HR team

What the model returns	The assumption behind it
Licence cost, waived	What the same workspace would cost a commercial team of your size
Job-board spend avoided	Roughly 45% of postings filled from your own database and referrals
Coordinator hours returned	Scheduling, chasing and shortlist assembly removed across the year
What you pay us	Permanently, for registered non-profits — no seat cap, no expiry

Modelled from platform medians across comparable teams. We will rebuild it on your real data on the call.

Proof

We hire community health workers across nine districts with a two-person HR team. Being able to screen in Hindi over WhatsApp changed who could apply at all — and it costs us nothing.

Questions

Who qualifies for the free plan?

Organisations registered as a non-profit, charity, trust, society, Section 8 company, 501(c)(3) or the local equivalent, whose primary purpose is charitable, humanitarian, educational, environmental or public-health work. We verify registration documents — that is the whole check.

Which features are excluded?

None of the hiring platform. You get the ATS, AI screening, interview tools, onboarding, reporting and integrations with unlimited users. Paid recruitment services — executive search, background check packages, employer of record — are separate commercial services, offered to non-profits at a discount.

Is there a time limit or user cap?

No. It is not a trial and not a starter tier. The only thing that ends eligibility is ceasing to be a registered non-profit.

What is the catch?

There isn't one, but here is the honest reasoning: non-profits hire in the same markets our paying customers do, their feedback makes the product better for low-connectivity and multilingual hiring, and some of them grow into paying customers for services. We would rather have the goodwill than a small licence fee.

How do we apply?

Send your registration certificate and a note about the roles you hire to the contact form or ngo@pitchnhire.com. Verification takes two working days, and setup, data import and training take about three more.

Can we manage volunteers as well as staff?

Yes. Volunteer, consultant and secondment pipelines run alongside paid roles with their own workflows, documents and approvals, and a volunteer who later joins as staff keeps their full history.
