One sponsor, clearly labelled

In front of the buyer, at the decision.

InterviewCost.com reaches talent, recruiting and people leaders at the moment they are pricing the cost of hiring and interviewing, and the finance teams behind the headcount plan, with a growing share arriving from AI assistants citing the page. One company can sponsor that: category-exclusive, clearly labelled, and never a vendor we evaluate, which is what makes the association worth having.

[01]Who you reach

Full metrics on request

A scarce, clean association with an independent reference these teams use at the exact moment they are deciding.

01

High-intent, at the decision

Talent, recruiting and people leaders land here while pricing the cost of hiring and interviewing. Mid-decision, hard to reach, exactly the buyer you want in front of.

02

Cited by AI assistants

About 11% of visits now arrive from AI assistants, Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude, citing this page, and it is climbing. When a talent leader asks an AI what hiring costs, your brand sits in the source it quotes.

03

The model is proven

Cribl is the founding sponsor of our sister site, siemcostcalculator.com, on this same disclosed, category-exclusive model.

Independent by design

Which is exactly what makes it worth having.

Rankings and comparisons here are never for sale, and the sponsor is never a vendor we evaluate. That is not a limitation, it is the point. Your brand sits next to research these teams actually trust, disclosed plainly, which is worth far more than a slot they scroll past.

[02]What the sponsor receives

one slot · one company

The offer is deliberately small. A scarce, clean association with an independent reference these teams already use, and nothing that would compromise it.

01

One labelled strip

A single strip reading “Independent research, supported by X”, sitewide except on excluded pages, with the sponsor named plainly. That is the whole placement.

02

Category exclusivity

One sponsor at a time, exclusive for the sponsor's own category. No rotation, no second slot, and no competitor of the sponsor in the slot for the term.

03

Monthly performance report

A written report each month covering how the site and the strip performed. Sent directly, not through a dashboard.

04

A founding rate

Early sponsors lock a founding rate that holds as the site grows. Terms are discussed by email, not published here.
