Your SME challenges, we understand them

You don't have the time. You don't have the expertise. You don't have an agency's budget.

Aurelia gives you all that for less than £300/month.

In an SME with 50 to 200 employees, every recruitment is critical. You can't afford external services (15-25% of salary per recruitment), you don't have internal HR expertise to structure a professional process, and you don't have time to train yourself. Yet every bad hire can cost 45,000£ and destabilize the whole team.

Is Aurelia right for an SME with no dedicated HR?
That's exactly Aurelia's main target. Most of our SME customers lack a dedicated recruitment HR: it's the founder, an HR generalist managing payroll too, or operational managers. Aurelia is designed for these non-expert profiles: step-by-step guidance, plain language, ready-made templates. You don't need to know the STAR method to generate structured interviews.
How long to launch the first recruitment?
Most SME users launch their first Aurelia recruitment within the hour. The process: create account (5 min), create first role (20 min), import first CVs (10 min), prepare interviews (10 min). Guided onboarding walks you through each step. If stuck, support responds within 24 hours.
Can multiple managers in my team use Aurelia?
Yes, the Business plan includes up to 5 users. Each manager manages their own recruitments with their own templates, while the founder or HR has a consolidated view of all. Specific roles (recruiter, validator, viewer) let you define each person's permissions.
What if I need to recruit more than expected?
If your recruitment volume increases temporarily or permanently, you can upgrade your plan anytime with no data loss. Business is month-to-month: adjust as your actual needs change. For strong growth needing 10+ simultaneous recruitments, the Enterprise plan is available with extended limits.
