4.6(1519)AI staffing OS: ATS, VMS & workforce management in one
CEIPAL is a staffing OS: ATS, VMS, and workforce management in one platform, aimed at high-volume IT and contract staffing firms juggling vendor management and large requisition loads. Breadth and AI sourcing are the draw; quote-based pricing and a learning curve are the trade-offs.

Quote-based: CEIPAL does not publish seat pricing on its site. Third-party aggregators cite an entry figure around $24/user/mo, but that is unverified against any official page and modules (VMS, workforce management) are priced separately (Jul 2026).
