Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers regarding our free job seeker app, monetization, and institutional Coach Portal licensing.
Is GigHQ truly 100% free for job seekers?
Yes. The GigHQ web application, AI browser extension, automated ATS application tracking across 50+ boards, Candidate Match Scoring, personal AI agents, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server access are completely free for all individual candidates. We do not require a credit card, sell personal candidate data, or lock essential tools behind paywalls.
How does GigHQ make money if candidate tools are free?
GigHQ generates revenue through B2B institutional licensing for our Coach Portal. Career coaching practices, university career development centers, coding bootcamps, and public workforce development boards purchase subscriptions to monitor cohort outcomes, verify placement velocity, and fulfill federal reporting requirements like WIOA.
What institutions benefit from Coach Portal?
Coach Portal is built for organizations supporting multiple job seekers simultaneously:
- University Career Centers: Track alumni placement velocity and internship search momentum.
- Coding & Career Bootcamps: Audit-ready placement data for CIRR and state accreditation standards.
- Workforce Development Boards: WIOA ESE compliance tracking for Q2 and Q4 post-exit employment retention.
- Private Career Coaching Firms: Streamline 1-on-1 coaching session prep with real-time application cards.
Can our university or coaching practice pilot Coach Portal first?
Yes! We regularly support pilot cohorts for universities, bootcamps, and coaching teams wanting to test Coach Portal with an upcoming graduating class or specific advising cohort before broader rollout. Request an institutional pilot on our demo request form or contact [email protected].
What happens to candidate data when a student graduates or program ends?
Candidates retain lifetime access to their personal GigHQ account, Master Profile, Career Journal, and application records for free. The institution retains verified historical placement telemetry and audit-ready data for grant compliance and accreditation reviews.
