Number of Seats/Users: Haibu offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows Haibu that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from Haibu. Haibu reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: Haibu offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from Haibu. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Haibu often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

• Annoying “constant update” screens for some users.

• Workflow optimization:

• Better separation and filtering of:
  • Vacantes abiertas
  • Vacantes cerradas (cubiertas / no cubiertas)

• More detailed end-status options for candidates (no-show, not interested, rejected, etc.).

• Advanced functionality:

• More powerful and granular filters, especially for descartes.
• More automation in the process.
• Multiposting to multiple job boards from Haibu.
• Less need for extra user accounts just to view candidates.
• Easier adaptation to each company’s specific processes.

Spendbase takeaway for budgeting and discounts
– Haibu already covers core ATS needs well and is seen as high-ROI at its current price.
– Existing satisfaction plus a clear list of requested enhancements suggests good leverage for negotiating:
– Discounts for longer-term contracts while features mature.
– Volume-based pricing for teams scaling recruiting.

In short: Haibu is a solid, budget-friendly ATS with very happy users, and the remaining gaps are mostly around automation, UX polish, and a few advanced recruitment features.
