Traditional recruitment models can be a costly endeavor, especially for startups looking to scale quickly and efficiently. With recruitment agency fees ranging from 15% to 25% of a candidate's first-year salary, the expense adds up fast. But the financial burden doesn't stop there.

Indirect costs—such as the time spent reviewing resumes, conducting interviews, and onboarding—further strain resources. For companies needing to hire multiple roles, these efforts can delay product launches, sales cycles, and even hinder market expansion.

Startups often find themselves paying hefty fees for positions that need to be filled yesterday. The pressure to scale quickly leads to higher turnover rates when mismatched candidates are hired. This cycle becomes even more expensive, as businesses must repeat the process of hiring, onboarding, and training, resulting in lost productivity and missed business opportunities.

If you're a growing company, adopting a more flexible and cost-effective recruitment approach can save thousands while still securing top talent.
