CloudTask: Direct Hire & Managed Staffing now open to every role
What happened
Between the Sep 7, 2026 and Sep 14, 2026 captures of CloudTask's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: removed role-based routing between Direct Hire (was demand-gen roles only) and Managed Staffing (was execution/support roles only) - both now open to every role, with a new 6-month minimum term on Managed Staffing for demand-gen roles. Core fees unchanged (20-30% base salary, $299 deposit). In detail: CloudTask removed the hard role-based routing between its two hiring models. Direct Hire and Managed Staffing are now both open to every role (previously Direct Hire was restricted to demand-generation roles and Managed Staffing to execution/support roles); Managed Staffing now carries a 6-month minimum term when used for demand-generation roles, while Direct Hire keeps no minimum term. Core fees (20-30% of first-year salary, $299 deposit) are unchanged. Pulse files it as a packaging change (package change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Nov 2, 2026) lists Search Deposit at $299 per use.
It lands 14 days after CloudTask's previous change, "CloudTask: Managed Staffing replacement guarantee cut from 24 to 6 months" (Aug 31, 2026). CloudTask has been tracked since 2026-07-05.
In the same window Notion, Microsoft, Trello, ClickUp and Asana also changed their CRM pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
