How to Cut Recruitment Costs by 40% Without Sacrificing Quality

The Cost Crunch Is Real

Your recruitment budget is under pressure. Traditional hiring methods drain resources through lengthy processes, agency fees, and administrative overhead.

When you need to cut costs by 40% or more, incremental changes won't deliver. You need a fundamentally different approach.

Where Your Recruitment Budget Actually Goes:

→Agency fees: 15-30% of first-year salary per hire
→Manual screening: 23 hours per hire on average
→Bad hires: 30% of annual salary in replacement costs
→Job board spend: $300-500 per posting with diminishing returns

Why Automation Is the Only Answer

Lean recruitment teams face a particular challenge: maintaining quality hiring standards while dramatically reducing costs. The solution isn't working harder. It's working smarter through strategic automation.
