Who it is for

Hiring often lands on someone with a day job. Lemonade takes over the legwork.

Founders

There is no recruiter to hand it to, and every hour spent hiring comes out of running the business.

How Lemonade helps

One conversation with Lem starts a hunt for the best candidates, including people who are not looking, with no hire fee.

Hiring managers

The gap in the team adds to the workload, and the applications land on top of the day job.

How Lemonade helps

Candidates arrive scored against the brief with clear reasoning, so the review starts from people who have confirmed their interest.

Talent teams

There are too many open roles to search proactively on each one, and every application now reads as polished.

How Lemonade helps

Lem hunts day and night for the best candidates on every role, and every candidate is screened against the same weighted requirements.

FAQ

Here are the questions people ask before they post a role.

Email contact@makelemonade.io with anything else.

Nothing. A company's first search is free for the full 30 days, at any salary, with no card needed. LinkedIn promotion is optional and is charged at cost plus 5% if added.

Each search after the first is £450, £650 or £1,200, set by the top of the advertised salary. The only extra is optional LinkedIn promotion, charged at cost plus 5%. Unspent budget is refunded, and the 5% is not. There is nothing to pay when you hire, however many people you take on.

Team covers 24 roles a year, and a role above £100k uses two of them. Growth covers 48, and every role counts as one whatever the salary. Both are billed monthly. On a 3-month minimum (£990 or £1,800 a month) a quarter's roles arrive at its start, 6 or 12, and the plan renews every 3 months until you cancel. Annual is two months free (£825 or £1,500 a month) with all the year's roles up front. Searches run until the role is filled, unused roles carry over while the plan runs, and cancelling ends the plan when the current term does. Plan roles are not covered by the refund guarantee.

A role paid for on its own stops searching, and nothing renews by itself. Renewal is £250 for another 30 days and is not refundable. Renewing ends the first period's refund, so claim before you renew. On a plan, searches keep running until the role is filled.

A short description, the score, why they fit and a career history with no names. People we find hear from Lemonade by email, up to three times over four days, stopping the moment they answer.

A confidential role never names your company on its job page or when we approach people. Candidates see an anonymised listing and learn who you are when you request an intro.

There is no direct integration. Send any candidate's pack, with their CV and screening report, to your ATS inbox by email, or download the shortlist as a spreadsheet or an ATS import file.

Lemonade covers roles based in the UK. The search and the screening run on your brief rather than a fixed list of job types.
