Services · Ecommerce development · AI recruitment subscription sites

Subscription websites that sell AI recruitment software to buyers across Britain.

Codeeo delivers AI recruitment subscription website development UK software vendors use to sell screening, sourcing and matching tools to agencies and in house talent teams. We build the pricing pages, sign up and checkout, recurring billing, VAT invoicing and the self serve account area where a customer adds seats, changes plan or downloads an invoice. Everything is planned around UK consumer and data law, so the price a buyer sees is the price they pay and the renewal terms are plain.

This page is about the commercial site that takes money. The recruitment product itself, its matching models and candidate screens, sits behind the login. Our AI recruitment SaaS website development UK work covers the front door and the till: how a recruiter compares plans, starts paying and keeps paying without calling your finance team, wherever in the UK they work.

What the subscription site includes

The parts that turn a recruiter's interest into a paying account.

Recruitment software is usually priced on something a buyer can count: recruiter seats, live job slots, candidates screened or AI credits used. The commercial site has to explain that unit clearly, calculate a total including VAT, and then bill it correctly every month or year as the customer grows or shrinks. UK buyers range from a two desk agency paying by card to a national employer that insists on a purchase order and payment by bank transfer. A good subscription platform handles both without separate processes. The capabilities below are the ones we most often build for UK vendors, in roughly the order a new customer meets them. Your pricing model decides which come first, and a vendor with one card plan will need far fewer of them on day one than a vendor selling to group employers on invoice.

Explain your project
  • Pricing page with the full price up front

    Plans laid out by seats, job slots or screening volume, with mandatory charges included in the headline figure. Since the drip pricing rules in the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 came into force, fees that cannot be avoided must not appear late in checkout. We show VAT treatment clearly for business buyers too.

    Buyers compare plans on honest totals and trust the number they see.

  • Plan builder and quote calculator

    A calculator that lets a talent lead set seats, monthly hires and add ons such as video interview minutes, then shows the monthly and annual totals side by side. Larger configurations can turn into a saved quote that a sales colleague reviews before it becomes a subscription.

    Self serve and sales led deals start from the same configuration.

  • Checkout with Strong Customer Authentication

    Card payments that pass the 3D Secure challenge when the bank requires it, with off session renewals flagged correctly so later charges are not declined. Apple Pay and Google Pay can sit alongside cards for smaller agencies that sign up on a phone.

    Fewer failed first payments and fewer declined renewals.

  • Direct Debit and invoice billing

    Many UK finance teams prefer Bacs Direct Debit or paying an invoice on terms. We set up mandates through a Direct Debit provider, add purchase order fields to invoices, and keep card and bank paid customers in the same billing records.

    Enterprise and public sector buyers can pay the way their policies require.

  • VAT, invoices and tax by location

    UK VAT on domestic sales, VAT numbers captured and checked for business customers, and the right treatment for overseas buyers under place of supply rules. Invoices carry the details HMRC expects and export cleanly to your accounting software for Making Tax Digital returns.

    Your accountant receives invoices that need no correction.

  • Proration and mid term changes

    When an agency adds three recruiters halfway through an annual term, the platform charges only for the remaining period and updates the next renewal. Downgrades take effect at the period end, with clear wording about what changes and when.

    Plan changes are billed fairly without manual credit notes.

  • Usage metering for AI credits

    Your product reports each screening run, sourcing search or interview summary to the billing system, which counts it against the plan allowance. Customers see remaining credits in their account, receive a warning before they run out, and can buy a top up or move to a larger plan in two clicks.

    Usage based charges are accurate and never a surprise on the invoice.

  • Dunning and payment recovery

    Retry schedules, card updater support and a short series of reminder emails when a payment fails, followed by a grace period before access is restricted. Messages are transactional, so they sit outside marketing consent under PECR.

    Revenue lost to expired cards is recovered without awkward calls.

  • Self serve account area

    Customers manage seats, payment methods, billing contacts and plan level themselves, download every invoice, and cancel online through a route as easy as signing up. Admin roles stop a single recruiter from changing the company plan.

    Your support team stops handling routine billing requests.

  • Procurement and trust pages

    A public trust section with your data processing agreement, sub processor list, security summary and an explanation of how automated screening is reviewed by people. UK employers and agencies ask for these before they sign, so publishing them shortens procurement.

    Security questionnaires take days rather than weeks.

Who this is for

Four kinds of UK recruitment software business we build for.

The right subscription platform depends on who your buyer is and how they like to buy. A sourcing tool sold to independent recruiters has very different billing needs from a screening engine sold to a national retailer with a procurement department. Our AI recruitment subscription platform development UK projects usually begin from one of the four positions below, and each leads to a different first release with its own priorities for payment methods, account structure and reporting.

01

Start ups moving from pilots to paid plans

You have early customers on informal arrangements and need a proper pricing page, card checkout and automated renewals before the next funding conversation. We build a focused first version around one or two plans, keep the billing provider configuration simple, and add metering only once you know which usage measure customers accept. If you plan to offer a free trial as part of your product, we build the trial clock, the reminder before it converts and the card capture rules you choose.

Simple pricing is easier to change later than complicated pricing.

02

Established vendors adding self serve

Your product sells through a sales team and annual contracts, and smaller agencies want to buy without a demo. We add a self serve tier with card payment and an account area, while keeping enterprise contracts, purchase orders and invoice terms working in the same billing system.

03

Vendors selling to RPO providers and multi site employers

Your customers buy for several business units or clients at once. We design parent and child accounts, cost centre fields on invoices, separate billing contacts per unit, and consolidated invoicing so a group finance team sees one bill with a clear breakdown by site, client or business unit.

04

HR technology companies launching a new AI module

You already sell an ATS or HR platform and want to charge separately for AI screening or interview analysis. We build the add on purchase flow, usage meters for screening credits and the upgrade prompts inside the account area, without disturbing existing subscriptions.

Existing customers keep their current terms until they choose to change.

How a UK subscription site goes from pricing sheet to live billing.

  1. 01Pricing and billing discoveryWe work through your plans, units, discounts policy, contract lengths and payment methods by video call, and write down how every scenario should bill.
  2. 02Compliance mappingConsumer law, VAT, PECR consent, UK GDPR roles and accessibility duties are matched to specific pages and flows, so nothing is left for a final legal review to find.
  3. 03Design of pricing and checkoutPricing tables, calculators, sign up and checkout screens designed for clarity first, tested against WCAG 2.2 so screen reader and keyboard users can buy unaided.
  4. 04Billing integrationThe billing provider, Direct Debit, tax calculation, CRM and accounting software connected, then tested with real renewal, upgrade, refund, credit note and failed payment scenarios before any customer sees them.
  5. 05Migration and launchExisting customers moved onto the new billing records with their current terms, communication drafted, and old payment links switched off only after checks pass.
  6. 06Revenue review after launchConversion by plan, failed payment rates and cancellation reasons reviewed with you, and pricing page or dunning changes planned from what the data shows.

Questions UK recruitment software vendors ask about subscription sites.

Pricing transparency, VAT, consent, data protection and accessibility.

The drip pricing rules in the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 are already in force, so mandatory charges belong in the headline price. Its subscription contract rules are expected in 2027 and will add duties on reminders and easy exit. VAT invoicing follows HMRC rules, marketing emails follow PECR, and UK GDPR covers customer and candidate data. The site should also meet WCAG 2.2 to support Equality Act duties.
