“At what shift volume does Hirepad's white-label staffing platform earn its monthly cost for an agency?”
Adopt Hirepad once monthly shift volume crosses 50, and start on the Growth plan at $599 monthly rather than the $299 Starter tier.
Agencies buy the $299 Starter plan to test Hirepad, then run 60 to 80 shifts in month two and either stall on the 50-shift cap or pay to upgrade mid-cycle. The white-label setup work (branding, domain, certificate rules) is the same on either tier, so starting low means doing the configuration twice.
The Starter plan at $299 monthly caps at 50 shifts and 500 active candidates, so an agency at that ceiling hits the limit exactly when scheduling and compliance work peaks. Growth at $599 monthly removes the candidate cap, raises admin seats to 10, and covers 50 to 300 shifts, which matches the verdict's stated fit for agencies running 50+ shifts monthly. The white-label domain and role-specific certificate rules with auto-expiry reminders replace the manual tracking that makes shift staffing expensive to scale.
- •The agency runs 50 or more shift-based placements per month, the floor of the Growth plan at $599 monthly
- •Candidates and clients currently coordinate bookings through spreadsheets, email threads, or phone calls instead of a self-service portal
- •Compliance certificates for locum, healthcare, hospitality, or veterinary roles expire on rolling cycles that staff track manually
- •The agency wants to resell staffing services under its own domain and brand rather than send clients to a vendor-branded portal
- •Admin headcount on scheduling and compliance sits at three or fewer people, matching the Starter plan's user cap
