Can I try candidate rediscovery software free before paying?

Yes, many candidate rediscovery vendors like Skima AI offer a free trial period before requiring payment, giving you time to test the software against your own candidate database and see results first.

A trial period matters because rediscovery software performs differently depending on your database size, your ATS, and your hiring patterns. A demo using someone else's sample data cannot show you how well the tool matches your own candidates to your own job openings.

During the free trial window, you can launch Talent Rediscovery and use AI Search against your real data and measure whether the matches are strong enough to justify a paid plan.

For companies with larger databases or multiple open roles, Skima AI also offers a 30-day pilot, sized to your specific database and hiring needs, with checkpoints along the way to track results like time-to-screen and shortlist quality.

Before starting any trial, confirm three things with the vendor:

• What counts as the trial period. Fourteen days from signup, or fourteen days of active use.
• What data you can test with. Your own uploaded database versus a demo dataset.
• What happens at the end. Whether your data and results carry over if you continue to a paid plan.

Testing with your own database during a free trial is the clearest way to judge whether a tool delivers value before you commit any budget to it.
