Employment Hero unbundles AI recruitment: now an add-on in every tier

The 'AI-powered Recruitment Agent' row, previously included (checkmark) in HR Engage, HR Elite and Employment Unlimited, was removed from the Recruitment comparison table. Its capabilities now appear as three separate rows — AI screening, AI video interviews and AI notetaker — each marked ADD-ON in every tier, so AI recruitment is no longer bundled into any plan.
