Recruiting agencies are eating your hiring budget

The math is simple and infuriating. You hire an SDR at $75K base. The agency charges 20% — that's $15,000 gone before they've made a single call. Hire four SDRs a year and you've spent $60,000 on recruiting fees alone. And what do you get for that? A few weeks of "searching" that mostly involves posting to the same job boards you could post to yourself. Agencies don't have magic candidate access. They have search tools and a margin to protect.

Same candidates. No markup.

  • Shortlist accesses the same sourcing channels as top recruiting firms
  • AI screens candidates faster and more consistently than human recruiters
  • Flat monthly fee — no per-hire placement costs, no success fees
  • You keep the candidate relationship — no awkward agency middle layer
Companies switching from agencies to Shortlist typically save $40K–$80K per year.
