How to Recharge or Top-Up Your PyjamaHR Pay‑As‑You‑Go Balance


Executive Summary

PyjamaHR’s pay‑as‑you‑go features allow you to access premium recruitment tools and services as needed, without a long-term commitment. To continue using these features, you’ll need to top up your balance when it runs low. This article explains exactly how to recharge your PyjamaHR account, what to expect during the process, and best practices to ensure uninterrupted access.


Detailed Overview

What is Pay‑As‑You‑Go in PyjamaHR?
Pay‑as‑you‑go (PAYG) enables you to purchase credits or access to specific premium features—such as job postings, resume downloads, or candidate communication—on demand. This flexible model is ideal for companies with fluctuating hiring needs or those who want to avoid fixed monthly subscriptions.

When and Why to Top Up:
- When your balance is low or depleted and you need to continue using PAYG features.
- To ensure uninterrupted access to critical recruitment tools.
- To maintain workflow efficiency and avoid delays in candidate engagement.

Integration with Other Features:
Your PAYG balance is directly linked to features like premium job postings, resume unlocks, and other on-demand services within PyjamaHR. Topping up ensures these features remain available when you need them.

Business Impact:
A seamless top-up process minimizes downtime, keeps your hiring pipeline moving, and allows for budget control by only paying for what you use.
