Carerix is one of the established names of the Dutch market: Rotterdam-built, running agencies since 2004, and part of the French PIXID Group since 2018, which added AI matching when PIXID acquired Antwerp-based theMatchBox in 2024. Its depth is the staffing chain, contracts, time registration and links into payroll and billing.

If your agency places people on permanent contracts, most of that machinery is weight you carry without using. Hirō strips the desk back to what a perm recruiter runs on, client CRM, candidate pipeline, mass email and campaigns, map search and an AI assistant, at a flat €70 per seat you can start on yourself today.

Where Carerix is strong: Carerix has served staffing and recruitment agencies from Rotterdam since 2004, with strong temp & flex support that links the front office to back-office and payroll systems, and AI matching inside the PIXID Group.

Switching from Carerix

Does Hirō handle temp, flex and payrolling like Carerix?

No. Carerix is genuinely strong on the flex process, front office linked to back-office, payroll and billing, and Hirō does not do payrolling or CAO administration. Hirō is built for agencies that live on permanent placements.

How does pricing compare to Carerix?

Carerix does not publish prices; you request a quote. Hirō is a flat €70 per seat a month (€63 billed annually), everything included, published on the pricing page, cancel anytime.

Can I move my Carerix data across?

Yes. Export your candidates, clients and contacts, drop the file in, and the AI maps the columns and flags duplicates for you. Most teams are running the same day.

Carerix has AI matching via theMatchBox. What does Hirō offer?

An AI assistant built into the desk: ask questions over your own database in plain language, parse CVs into structured profiles, and map imports automatically. Combined with distance-radius map search, it covers how a perm desk actually shortlists.

Is Hirō EU-hosted and GDPR-compliant?

Yes. EU-hosted and GDPR-first by default, with do-not-contact and automatic suppression of bounced or complained addresses built into the email engine.
