ejoobi AI features and pricing (September 2026)

ejoobi is a South African AI recruiting platform for small and midsize employers and recruitment agencies, automatically scoring, ranking and matching job applicants against open roles across a six-stage hiring pipeline.

ejoobi runs hiring through a six-stage pipeline (applied, matched, screened, shortlisted, interview, outcome), with ID and qualification checks, automated SMS and email updates to candidates, and role-based access for hiring teams. It is aimed at small business owners, HR teams and recruitment agencies who handle hiring alongside other responsibilities rather than large enterprise talent-acquisition departments. Plans range from a free tier through paid tiers named Hire, Growth and Scale, adding features such as WhatsApp messaging and unlimited roles at higher levels. ejoobi is based in South Africa, privately held, and states it is expanding support across other African countries.

• Scores every applicant against the roleThe AI weighs each application on skills (40 percent), experience (25 percent), location (20 percent) and qualifications (15 percent) to produce a single score. According to the vendor, the matching reaches 92 percent accuracy, giving small teams a ranked list instead of an unsorted inbox.
• Matches candidates within 48 hoursejoobi searches its own verified pool of more than 16,000 candidates and returns matches for a new vacancy within 48 hours, according to the vendor. Employers without a recruiting team get a shortlist to start from instead of waiting on inbound applications alone.
• Generates job descriptions and assessment questionsOn all paid plans, ejoobi drafts job descriptions and screening assessment questions automatically from role details. Owners who write postings themselves get a starting draft instead of a blank page, saving time on each new vacancy.
• Auto-shortlists and matches on growth plansThe Growth and Scale tiers add automatic shortlisting and auto-matching, moving qualifying candidates forward in the pipeline without a manual review step for every applicant. This is aimed at teams filling roles continuously rather than one vacancy at a time.

• Built for owner-operators and small teams juggling hiring alongside other work, not dedicated enterprise talent-acquisition departments.
• Free Explorer tier available before any paid commitment, unusual among AI-scoring applicant trackers.
• Matching draws on ejoobi's own pre-verified candidate database rather than only the employer's inbound applicants.
• Flat monthly tiers (Hire, Growth, Scale) scale by number of open roles and features, not by headcount.

Based in South Africa, POPIA compliant, with self-reported regional strength in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape, and expansion into other African countries.

Before signing up, note that ejoobi is built for South Africa with POPIA as its compliance framework, and ask where applicant data is stored, since no hosting country is stated. Under POPIA, your company remains the responsible party for the resumes and ID numbers it holds, with fines of up to 10 million rand for serious breaches. Because the AI scores and ranks applicants, test shortlists for bias, since the Employment Equity Amendment Act bans unfair indirect discrimination, including outcomes from AI trained on historical data.

• POPIA makes employers accountable for personnel data
• Employment Equity Act applies to AI-driven HR decisions
• Limits on purely automated decisions about work performance
