Startups have real - but solvable - hiring problems:

The average cost of hiring for U.S. employers is $4,425 for specialist roles and about $15,000 for higher managerial roles.

A mis-hire costs 5-27 months
of an employee’s salary
and a lot of wasted time.

90%
of recruiters don’t know what makes their company different from other employers.

This is why we have created the first HR subscription model, fully dedicated to supporting leaders in the Talent area.
