Staffing Agencies

A recruiting OS built for your placements — not per-seat fees.

Legacy staffing software charges per recruiter, buries AI matching in add-ons, and scatters ATS, CRM, scheduling, timekeeping and billing across separate tools. We build custom staffing operating systems with AI in weeks — candidates, clients, job orders and payroll in one place, flat monthly, unlimited seats.

↳ Section 03 / Off-the-shelf reality

What the platforms actually cost.

Sticker price is one line. Real cost is per-recruiter licensing + implementation + separate scheduling, timekeeping and billing modules + the professional services required to make workflows match your agency.
