Plug in your team size, screening hours, and close rate. See the additional active-role capacity and revenue when Raffi handles the first-call screening — in your firm’s brand, behind the curtain.
Recruitment agencies don’t scale on tools — they scale on recruiter hours. The single biggest drain is first-call screening: 30-60 min per applicant, 6-12 applicants per role. That time isn’t free to reinvest in sourcing harder-to-reach candidates or closing placements faster. Per Bullhorn’s 2025 GRID report, 67% of staffing-firm leaders cite recruiter capacity as their #1 growth constraint.
This calculator models the trade: Raffi runs every first-call screen at $0.45/min, your recruiters reallocate the freed hours to higher-leverage activity (~1.5× productivity by default). For most boutique agencies in the 5-30 recruiter range, the math lands at $300k-$2M in additional annual revenue at 5×-50× ROI. Numbers are estimates — book a walk-through to model your specific stack.

Raffi cost. Growth tier $599/mo (white-label + unlimited seats + 5 sourced jobs/mo included) plus $0.45/min for AI interview minutes. The model assumes ~50 applicants per active role and 12-minute interviews on average. See pricing for the full ladder, or /for-agencies for the white-label setup.
