Replace Twenty Thousand Dollar Agency Invoices with Software Leverage
Contingency recruiters charge thousands to manually screen candidate applications. RecruitX AI delivers the same curated shortlist in seconds.
The Core Difference
The traditional staffing industry relies on contingency placement fees. When an agency places a software engineer earning one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, they invoice the employer for fifteen to twenty five percent of that first year salary. That results in a single fee between eighteen thousand and thirty thousand dollars.
Companies pay these steep fees because internal teams do not have the hours required to read through one thousand inbound applicants. Agency sourcers do not have secret technical abilities. They spend their workdays running boolean searches on LinkedIn, manually scanning resume documents, and compiling shortlists.
RecruitX AI delivers that labor through software. It ingests your application pool, verifies production experience against your exact rubric, checks notice periods, and surfaces the top fifteen candidates with proof. You maintain direct candidate relationships and save tens of thousands of dollars per hire.
