Our mission is to streamline this process, offering a strategic partnership that not only saves you time and resources but also ensures you connect with the best talent in the industry. To illustrate the value we bring, let’s delve into a cost-benefit analysis from our perspective, comparing the all-in costs of in-house recruitment against the services and potential savings we offer.

  • Job Advertising Fees: Premium job postings can total up to $2,000.
  • Recruitment Tools and Software: Essential for modern recruiting, these costs can add up to $1,500 over three months.
  • Opportunity Costs: The valuable time your team spends on recruitment activities, estimated conservatively at $5,000.
  • Potential Cost of Vacancy: The impact of a vacant senior management position can be substantial, estimated at around $20,000 for three months.
