Pricing · External recruiters
Each client gets their own space, their applications and a page in their colours. The same plans as companies, with no commission on your clients' budget.
Billed once a year. Cancel at renewal.
Open door
Up to 20 applications a month, you screen them yourself.
You don't pay me. You pay for your ads.
I write and design your ad and run it on all social media channels, in the area around your business.
Each application comes with a name, first name and email.
Plus
No cap, 3 questions per application1 ad included: one job, one site.
€59 for each extra ad, for 30 days.
You just call the right ones.
I build a page for your job, ask every applicant 3 questions and sort them, most promising first. You get their name, phone number and answers. A CV isn't required: I offer applicants the chance to add one afterwards, by text message. Between hires, I get your business known locally.
Max
3 ads included: three jobs, three sites, or a mix of both.
€59 for each extra ad, for 30 days.
You do the interview.
Several sites in one company? This is your plan, up to 12 ads. I add TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn and Google, connect your ATS and have the first chat with every applicant.
Enterprise
For networks: a head office with regions, franchises, or more than 12 ads at once.
A month to get going together, then you run it yourselves: head office launches, the regions handle their own applications, and I run the ads.
One ad per site is the most precise. If your budget doesn't allow it, I group your sites by employment area: one ad per area, shown around each of your locations.
Grouping changes how personal the message is (“hiring in the Bouches-du-Rhône” rather than “hiring in Aubagne”), not how precisely the ad is shown. Example: 90 sites, an €8,000 budget, 11 ads.
What you really pay
You can stop whenever you like: whatever isn't spent stays on your account for your next ad.
My subscription · Plus (monthly), first month, no commitment€95
Your advertising · €5 a day for 14 days, paid directly to the platforms€70

No small print
With the media budget “included”, you'd have to explain to your client a markup you never took.
Here every euro of media spend goes to the platforms, with no commission: you recharge it at cost, and my subscription shows on a separate line. It's your client's money and your call: I advise and I deliver.
How do I create my account?
Click “Start for free” at the top of the page, tell me who you're hiring for, then give me your company name, your first name, your surname and your email. I'll send you a four-digit code: type it in and your account is ready. No card, no subscription.
Do I pay per client?
No. Your clients are unlimited, on every plan. You pay your subscription, then any ads beyond the included ones: €59 per ad, for 30 days.
Do you take a commission on my clients' budget?
No. Every euro of your clients' budget goes to the platforms, and you recharge it at cost. You pay your subscription, nothing else.
What if a client doesn't spend their whole budget?
The balance doesn't expire and stays available for that client's next ads. It can't be refunded, though: it stays in the account and doesn't go back to the card.
What if I want to stop?
On monthly billing, you stop whenever you like, with no notice period, and keep access until the end of the month you've paid for. On annual billing, the commitment runs to the end of the term. The media budget isn't a subscription: you can pause it whenever you like.
The €0 “Open door” plan has no time limit. The “Plus” and “Max” subscriptions cost €95 and €235 a month on monthly billing, or €79 and €199 a month on annual billing, i.e. €948 and €2,388 billed once. Plus includes one ad and Max three; each extra ad takes a 30-day slot, paid €59 once. You can cancel at any time from your settings; on annual billing, the commitment runs until its end date and the remaining months are not refunded. No commission is taken on your clients' media budget: it is paid when each ad launches and goes in full to the social networks. Unspent balance does not expire and is not refundable. One ad means one role you're hiring for in one area, for one of your clients; it keeps its place until you archive it. Prices exclude VAT.

What Rafa does
You're not looking for people who are looking for work. You're looking for people who already have a job and would be happier in yours.
Your ad runs where they already spend their time.
Most of the people you need never look at a job board. So Rafa goes to them where they live, around your business, for the exact job.
Your ad, with your logo and your colours. You approve it before it goes live.
Rafa writes and designs your ad for that particular job in that particular place. You don't talk to a butcher in Limoges the way you talk to a mechanic in Paris.
Every applicant comes with their answers: you know who to call first.
They apply without leaving their feed. You get everything you need to call them straight away: their first name, their number and a button that dials it. Their answers (availability, driving licence, experience) depend on your plan.
Rafa stops just before the decision. That's always yours to make.

Prices differ depending on whether you're hiring for your own company or for clients; the details, amounts and terms for each are on the matching pricing page. Either way, you set your own ad budget, from €5 a day, and pay it when you launch your ad. Any unspent balance doesn't expire and stays available for your next ads; it isn't refundable. An ad means one job in one town, however many people you hire for it. All prices exclude VAT.
That's why nobody answers your ad. Not because it's a bad ad: it's sitting somewhere the people you want never go.
My subscription starts at €0. You only pay for your ads: from €5 a day, passed on to the social networks with no markup.
The problem
For frontline jobs, nobody comes looking. The problem isn't the wording, it's the place.
A forklift operator, a butcher or a healthcare assistant with a job doesn't get up in the morning to read job ads. They move when something better comes their way.
You're paying for a slot, not an audience. If the right people never visit the page, the number of views makes no difference.
Hours of phone calls to find out they don't drive, can't do the hours or live too far away. That's where hiring really costs you, not in the ad.
Why it works
Most frontline workers aren't actively looking. But they're open to a move. You just have to reach them where they are.
A job board only shows you the five in blue: the people already looking, the ones everyone else is calling too. The other twenty have jobs. They aren't browsing anything. They'd move for the right offer, but someone has to put it in front of them.
5see your ad on a job board: the ones already looking, the ones everyone else is calling too.
What I do instead
Your ad turns up between two videos on a Tuesday evening, for a job twenty minutes from home. They weren't looking for anything: you came to them.

Why the first plan costs nothing
Everyone promises you applicants. You can't check any of it before you pay, and that's exactly the problem. So I make nothing on the first plan.
You'll have found out for the price of a coffee a day, and you owe me nothing.
You'll know exactly what you're paying for on the next plan: the sorting, not the applicants.
In detail
Each plan up means less sorting for you and more roles at once.
The basics, nothing more. I write and run your ad; you do the sorting.
Enterprise, quoted on request For networks with a head office and regions, or more than twelve ads at once.
Book a callA role is a job you're hiring for, not a person. Six drivers for the same job count as one role.
Every plan in detailYour concerns
There isn't one, and the model is simple: on the €0 plan, you do the work I'd otherwise charge for. You get up to 20 applications a month and you call everyone to sort them. From €95, I ask your questions before you pick up the phone, and you only call the right ones. That's what you pay for, not access.
Up to 20 a month, and they're keen: applying only takes a few clicks, so plenty get through. If you want more, already sorted, that's “Plus”. The real difference is what you know about them before you dial.
It's the minimum I set so your ad actually runs, not a teaser price. Facebook and Instagram count as one channel, so there's one minimum. What it gets you depends on the job and the area: the estimate tells you before you commit to anything, in a few clicks and with no account.
No. I ask your questions, look at the answers and rank the applications, most promising first. I don't judge anyone and I don't interview: it's pre-qualification. The interview and the decision are always yours.
It waits for you. The balance doesn't expire and goes towards your next ad. It can't be refunded, though: it stays in your account and doesn't go back to your card.
The first applications usually come in within days of launch, but I won't give you a single timeframe: it depends on the job, how hard it is to fill in your area, and your budget. The estimate works in ranges, never a single figure: one neat number would sell better, but it would be less honest.
The €0 “Open door” plan has no time limit. You only pay for your ad budget, from €5 a day, which goes in full to the social networks and is paid when you launch your ad. No card is needed to sign up. Any unspent balance doesn't expire and stays available for your next ads; it isn't refundable. An ad means one job in one town, however many people you hire for it. All prices exclude VAT.

No small print
With an ad budget “included”, there are two things you never find out: how much was actually spent, and how much was skimmed off along the way.
With me, you set your own, you see it line by line, and you stop it whenever you like. It's your money and your call: I advise, and I do the work.
How do I create my account?
Click “Start for free” at the top of the page, tell me who you're hiring for, then give me your company name, your first name, your surname and your email. I'll send you a four-digit code: type it in and your account is ready. No card, no subscription.
When do I start paying?
On “Open door”, the free plan, you only pay when you launch: your ad budget, which goes to the social networks without any markup from me. On a paid plan, you pay the subscription when you choose it.
What if I don't spend my whole budget?
It waits for you. The balance doesn't expire: it's there for your next ad. You load €70, find your metal fabricator on day four, and the €50 left over is still there the month after. It can't be refunded, though: it stays in your account for your ads and doesn't go back to your card.
What if I want to stop?
On the free plan, there's nothing to cancel: your account stays, and your ad stops when you mark the job as filled. On monthly billing, you stop whenever you like, with no notice period, and keep access until the end of the month you've paid for. On annual billing, the commitment runs to the end of the term.
Do I pay per hire, or per user?
Neither. You pay per ad, meaning one job you're hiring for in one town: whether you hire one person or six, it's the same ad. And your whole team gets the dashboard at no extra cost.
The €0 “Open door” plan has no time limit. You only pay for your ad budget, from €5 a day, which goes in full to the social networks and is paid when you launch your ad. Any unspent balance doesn't expire and stays available for your next ads; it isn't refundable. The “Plus” and “Max” subscriptions cost €95 and €235 a month on monthly billing, or €79 and €199 a month on annual billing, which is €948 and €2,388 invoiced in one go. “Plus” includes one ad and “Max” three; each extra ad takes a 30-day slot, paid €59 as a one-off. You can cancel at any time in your settings; on annual billing, the commitment runs to the end of the term and the remaining months aren't refunded. An ad means one job in one town, however many people you hire for it. All prices exclude VAT.
It's not the role that loses you money. It's the sourcing.
My subscription starts at €0. Every euro of media spend goes to the platforms, with no commission: you recharge it to your client at cost, and your fees show on a separate line.
The problem
The ones that fill themselves never reach you. Yours are hard to fill, with unsocial hours, away from the big cities: exactly the roles job sites no longer deliver for.
Three roles this month, none the next. A subscription running at full price through the quiet spells, or no tool at all when the work comes back: either way, it costs you.
No two clients share a brand, a talent pool or a budget. Mix them up and you're exposed; duplicate everything and you lose the time you sell.
Clients, not campaigns
What shapes your business isn't the number of ads. It's how many brands you run without ever mixing them up. Switch client, and the brand, its page and its budget switch with you.

Your concerns
Your work. Rafa is a tool cost for you (a subscription, with no commission on the budget you manage), and the media budget itself is a disbursement you recharge to the cent. What you sell is sourcing, judgement and follow-up, not ad placement.
No. A client spends €1,000, €1,000 goes on advertising. You pay your subscription, nothing else, and it starts at €0: a month without a mandate costs you nothing.
Ads and pages go out under your client's brand. The monthly report, which you can pass on to them, is signed by Rafa.
Because you'd spend your days logging in and out, with as many invoices, wallets and passwords as clients. Here one account holds all your brands, and one main wallet is shared out between clients as you launch.
There's nothing to watch out for: each client's space is sealed off by design. Brand, talent pool, budget and page belong to one client and never cross over. An ad keeps its slot until you archive it, whether it's live, paused or still a draft.
As many as you like, on every plan. What counts is the number of ads at once: one included with “Plus”, three with “Max”, then €59 per extra ad for 30 days.
You charge for your work. The media budget goes to the platforms in your client's name, every last euro, and you recharge it at cost. I take no commission on it. One ad means one role you're hiring for in one area, for one of your clients; it keeps its place until you archive it. Prices exclude VAT.
How it works, in three pictures. No sales meeting, and nothing to pay before launch.
In three pictures
A link, a document or a sentence: I read about your job and make the ad and its landing page.
Written and designed for that job in that area. You approve them before they go live.
Straight into your dashboard, with a button to call.
What I don't do
That's a line I was built not to cross, not a missing step.
I ask your questions and follow up twice at most, with pre-written messages and only when a question is left unanswered. That's pre-qualification, not an interview: the interview is yours.
I look at the answers to your questions and rank the applications, most promising first, with a score and a summary. The ranking is about their answers, never about the people.
Who you call back, who you meet, who you hire: that stays with you. The interview is where you make your judgement, and it's the one part I leave entirely to you.
Rafa vs the rest
What you pay, and what you get for it. You decide.
For one ad
*Based on our clients' invoices and quotes from their previous providers.
In the feed
Every ad keeps the colours of the business that's hiring. What never changes is the recipe: the job in big letters, the town, the contract, and a few clicks to apply, without leaving the feed.
Seven examples from jobs I already cover. Yours gets written and designed the same way.
Your ad, its page and your applications: it all gets set up as soon as you create your account.
An open day, a launch, or simply your business: your ad reaches the people who live near you.
From “Plus”, for companies and recruiters alike.
In three pictures
I write and design it in your colours, for an event or for your business.
15, 30 or 45 minutes away: you choose how far your ad reaches.

In three pictures
One tap in the feed, and they see the job under your brand.
Driving licence, hours, distance: you know before you pick up the phone.
CV included. And you can still go back to the ones who hesitated.
For now, the landing page comes with a recruitment ad. We're thinking about offering it on its own later. Create your account to set yours up.
Ads run by the Rafa team between 2023 and 2026, before self-service launched. Same engine; the budgets and areas are specific to each case.
Six campaigns
Each campaign with its context and its numbers. Nothing touched up.
The challenge. 1 workshop team leader, 1 accountant and 3 experienced HGV technicians, in a tight labour market.
The approach. Meta + Google + LinkedIn, targeting active and passive candidates, with 30-day retargeting.
The challenge. Systems and C/C++ embedded software engineers, across four highly competitive local labour markets.
The approach. Google Search led the mix: 14.75% conversion and €47 per candidate. With Meta and LinkedIn alongside it, the overall cost came to €125.
The challenge. Fill a recruitment event in six weeks, from a wide pool of active and passive job seekers.
The approach. Facebook + Instagram across the Strasbourg area, with online pre-qualification before CV submission.
“I think you really saved our recruitment event. Without the campaign you ran, we wouldn't have had those results.”CCI Alsace Eurométropole
The challenge. Drinking-water network operators: frontline, passive candidates, almost never on job boards.
The approach. Hyperlocal targeting around each site. Meta as the main channel, with TikTok reaching younger workers alongside it.
The challenge. Operators and forklift drivers across 30 sites, in tight labour markets and on very short deadlines.
The approach. One campaign per site. Applicant scoring, a text within a minute, follow-ups on day 2 and day 5, and no-shows picked up automatically.
“When the creativity of youth and the professionalism of experts come together. A major project, very well run, quickly, with excellent service and follow-up. Great, and recommended.”Nicolas Boutin · West cluster Director, DS Smith
The challenge. Build the whole team for a new restaurant (crew members, managers and cooks), with more applications than anyone could handle by hand.
The approach. Dozens of visuals A/B-tested and targeted by location. Instant confirmation texts, and continuous optimisation over twelve weeks.
“We were able to build a team quickly, with motivated people suited to our working environment.”Serge Geneix · Burger King France franchisee
What they have in common
In all six cases, nobody was job hunting. They came across an ad for a job they already do, in an area where they already live, and applied in a few clicks. That's what I do, and nothing else.
Big companies have been running recruitment ads for years, with ad agencies and budgets to match. Everyone else posts a job and waits. That's the gap I close.

Our mission
Big companies have always had agencies and budgets to advertise their jobs. Everyone else posts an offer and hopes. With a free account, Rafa puts social media advertising within reach of any business, whatever its size. A garage that finds its next mechanic keeps its doors open. A town that keeps its businesses stays alive. That is the economy we want to help get healthy again.
Our ambition: every business in Europe, from the corner bakery to the regional factory, can reach the people it needs to hire.
What we stand for
You see what we do, what it costs and why. Public prices, no demo needed. Your ad budget goes 100% to the ad platforms and you see every euro. We tell you when something is not working.
We build for the people who hire and the people who apply. Rafa does the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters: a real conversation. The decision is always yours, and a real person answers when you write.
Independent and built in Marseille, for European businesses and candidates. Privacy and hiring rules shape what we build from day one. France and Germany first, then country by country.
A free account that really works. No agency, no expertise needed. Good advertising should not depend on the size of your budget.
The team
Rafa finds your frontline staff. He's already found his own. Here are the four people behind him, what each of them is responsible for, and what no CV would have told you.
