CME Innovation Council
The first 500 employers to shape the future of hiring.
Join the organizations helping build CME from the ground up. Gain lifetime founder pricing, early platform access, and a permanent seat at the table. Once 500 seats are filled, this opportunity closes permanently.
What Is the Innovation Council?
The CME Innovation Council brings together the first 500 organizations helping shape the future of hiring in Canada. Members gain early access to the platform, help guide its development, and secure founder advantages that will never be offered again.
Founding status is determined by commitment, not signup order. Any employer who joins at the CIC tier — or through the $999/year World Cup plan before the tournament ends — qualifies as a founding member with all the same benefits.
Founder Benefits
Every benefit is permanent as long as you maintain your annual membership.
Lifetime Founder Pricing
Your CIC subscription price is locked in for life. As long as you renew annually, you will never pay standard rates.
33% Off Everything Else
Permanent 33% founder discount on all additional CME products and services — GeoAds, boost packs, and future features.
GeoAds Credits
Receive GeoAds advertising credits equal to your membership value. Promote jobs, employer branding, and local campaigns.
2× CIE Tier Credit
Your subscription counts double toward your district’s Community Impact Engine tier — helping your neighborhood reach higher donation tiers faster.
Early Feature Access
Preview and test new CME tools before public release — Job Fairs, Tradeshow, Recruiter tools, and more.
Village Builder Badge
Permanently recognized as a CME Village Builder. Gold badge displayed on your profile, job listings, and CME Local map.
Shape the Platform
Direct feedback channel during development. Influence hiring workflows, employer tools, and dashboard features based on real recruiting needs.
Village Ecosystem Events
Priority visibility at CME-hosted events — video contests, hiring challenges, and community activations.
Founder Pricing
Innovation Council members lock in roughly 50% off standard pricing for life. Plus 33% off every other CME product and service. Pricing stays locked as long as you renew each year.
Starter
$1,400
/year — locked for life
Growth
$2,300
/year — locked for life
Pro
$3,750
/year — locked for life
Annual Renewal Required
Your founder pricing and 33% discount remain active as long as you renew your subscription each year. If your membership lapses, you lose access to founder rates and your seat opens up. Founding status and your Village Builder badge remain permanently on your profile.
Join for $999/year
Until the end of the FIFA World Cup 2026, any employer who signs up at $999/year qualifies as a founding Innovation Council member with all the same benefits — lifetime founder pricing, 33% off all products and services, 2× CIE tier credit, Village Builder badge, and early feature access.
This price gets grandfathered in. As long as you renew each year, $999 remains your rate. Once the World Cup ends, this entry point closes and only standard CIC tiers remain.
Only 500 founding seats available. Once filled, this offer closes permanently.
Employer Tiers
Village Builder
First 500 employers who join through CIC or the World Cup plan. Lifetime founder pricing, 33% discount on everything, and permanent founding recognition.
Village Supporter
Next 500 employers who join on any plan. Early platform participation and ability to upgrade to Village Builder if founding seats remain.
Community Employer
All employers joining after the founding and supporter tiers are filled. Full platform access at standard pricing.
