Cutting Hiring Costs: How Startups Can Save Money on Recruiting

Cutting Hiring Costs: How Startups Can Save Money on Recruiting

Are you looking to scale up your company without breaking the bank? As a budget-conscious founder or hiring manager, you know that every dollar counts.

Recruiting is one of the most time-consuming and costly aspects of running a growing business. Since you don’t have the time to find, vet, and make new hires yourself, you may decide to work with a recruiting agency.

But this is expensive.

Most agencies charge a placement fee that is 30–40 percent of the new employee’s first-year salary. That’s a lot of money! However, we have an option that can save you both time and money.

Introducing Arcanium’s Recruiting as a Service (RaaS).

RaaS is a simple, scalable monthly subscription without painful commissions. Clients save 50–70% on average compared to traditional agency models!

How much can you save?

Imagine you wanted to hire John, a Senior Full Stack Developer. John’s starting salary is 175K. A traditional contingency-based agency would charge you $35,000 to hire John. With Arcanium’s Recruiting as a Service (RaaS), you would only pay $12,000 for the same candidate. That is a 66% savings!
