Stepstone is paid inventory, and the useful comparison starts with market and role type. Campus is restricted to early-career hiring; it is not a discounted professional advert. For an established role, begin with the professional product in the relevant country, then pay for added placement or runtime only when the search conditions justify it.
Paid products and verified prices
Campus is built and priced for graduate and trainee hiring, so it is not a smaller version of Pro: a professional vacancy starts at Pro whatever its seniority, and the German ladder holds nothing between the two. Pro Plus and Pro Ultimate add placement, push and days on site rather than a different audience. Runtimes vary by market, so read the duration column before you compare two rows.

Publishing options
Contract
Employers with an eligible Stepstone agreement can publish through their own contract after it is connected to TalentGleam. Stepstone continues to govern inventory, eligibility and billing; TalentGleam keeps the advert and applications with the wider vacancy workflow.
Paid
Employers without suitable contract inventory can book country-specific Stepstone products through TalentGleam. Every placement is paid, and the useful comparison is market, role eligibility, duration and added placement rather than a supposed organic baseline.
