Frequently asked questions, answered.
i.What is Olibr?+
Olibr is an AI-powered talent marketplace that connects companies with vetted tech talent. Our platform uses AI interviews, skill assessments, and intelligent matching to help companies hire faster and help developers find the right opportunities.
ii.How do I sign up?+
Visit olibr.com, click Register, and choose whether you are a Client (hiring) or a Job Seeker (looking for work). The registration process takes less than 2 minutes.
iii.Is Olibr free to use?+
Yes. Job seekers never pay. For companies, the ATS is free: posting jobs, managing candidates and applicants, team members, search, the browser extension, sending email and assessments cost nothing. Instead of paying for access, you keep it by contributing candidate profiles. Only AI features are paid, from a prepaid wallet.
iv.What countries does Olibr operate in?+
Olibr currently operates in India and the United States. We are actively expanding to serve companies and talent in more countries globally. Sign up to be notified when we launch in your region.
v.How does Olibr's AI matching work?+
Our AI engine analyzes your job requirements — including skills, experience level, industry, and location preferences — and matches them against our database of pre-vetted candidates. The system continuously learns from your hiring patterns to improve match quality over time.
vi.How do I keep free access to Olibr?+
Contribute 50 candidate profiles for every active user on your account, once every rolling 30 days. A team of 3 active users contributes 150 profiles in each 30-day cycle. You can upload CVs, import a CSV, or approve automatic contribution once and let Olibr pull eligible profiles from your database for you. If a cycle's contribution is not complete, access to jobs, candidates and search pauses until it is.
vii.Do I earn credits or anything else for contributing?+
No. Contributing profiles is what keeps your access free. It does not earn credits, search views, discounts or wallet balance.
viii.What happens to the profiles I contribute?+
Each profile is checked for quality before it counts. A profile you contribute stays private to your company for 30 days, and another 14 days if you are still working with that candidate. After that it joins the shared talent pool that every Olibr client can search.
ix.Can I post jobs for free?+
Yes. Posting and managing jobs is free, with no limit on active job postings, as long as your contribution for the current cycle is complete.
x.What does the wallet pay for?+
Only AI features. AI Interview costs ₹99 per interview. Branded Resume PDF costs ₹5 per export. Resume Parser is free for the first 50 resumes per company, then ₹5 per resume. LinkedIn AI Content costs ₹499 per month. Contact reveal through ContactOut is charged separately for each email and each phone number found, at the prices shown in the app, and nothing is charged when nothing is found.
11.How do I add money to my wallet?+
Go to Settings, then Wallet, and choose Add funds. The minimum top-up is ₹1,000, and 18% GST is added at checkout. Wallet top-ups are non-refundable. Your balance and every charge appear in the wallet's transaction history.
12.Is sending email or assessments charged?+
No. Sending email from Olibr is free. Assessments are free too: they run on your own HackerRank, HackerEarth or CodeSignal account, so Olibr does not charge again for sending them.
13.I had credits under the old model. What happened to them?+
Credits have been retired. Existing companies received a 14-day notice before the contribution requirement applied to them. Credit balances were converted into months of free access with no contribution required: companies that had only signup credits received 1 month, and companies that had contributed received months based on their balance and number of active users. Your dashboard shows the date your free access ends.
