Recruiting agencies charge $10K–$20K per SDR hire. Shortlist delivers the same quality candidates in under 24 hours for a flat monthly fee.
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.
Every candidate is scored, ranked, and summarized so your hiring decision takes minutes, not days. No guesswork. No 50-page PDF packets. Just the top 5 fits with everything you need to decide. You get their experience summary, match score, key strengths, and a recommendation — all in one place. Click to schedule. Done.
No agency. No placement fee. Just qualified SDR candidates delivered to your inbox automatically.
