Plug in team size, target roles per recruiter, close rate, and avg fee. See the month-by-month cumulative revenue projection with Raffi-augmented screening capacity vs your baseline.
Recruitment agencies routinely under-forecast their own growth ceiling. The blocker is almost always per-recruiter capacity — first-call screening hours that don’t compound into placements. Bullhorn’s 2025 GRID report finds 67% of staffing-firm leaders cite recruiter capacity as their #1 growth constraint.
This forecaster models the trade explicitly: with Raffi running first-call screening, each recruiter handles ~1.5× more active roles, applied per-month for 12 months. Net of Raffi’s subscription + per-minute screening cost, agencies in the 5-30 recruiter range typically project +$500K to +$2M in annual revenue lift at the same headcount. Read the chart, adjust the multiplier to your team’s realism, pilot one role to confirm.

12-month cumulative revenue
By month 12, the Raffi-augmented projection accumulates +$615,612 over the baseline — same recruiters, same close rate, +1.5× per-recruiter throughput.
Method:baseline = recruiters × roles-per-recruiter × close rate × fee. Raffi side = baseline × capacityMultiplier (default 1.5× per Bullhorn 2025 + pilot data) net of Raffi monthly cost (Growth $599 + $0.45/min × applicants × 12-min interview). Holds close rate constant; in practice agencies running Raffi often see close rates rise 5-10% because senior recruiters reallocate freed time to client meetings + final-round work. We didn’t bake that in — would be double-counting the lift. Agency Capacity Calculator covers the same multiplier in a single-period frame.

Baseline formula.Monthly placements = recruiters × target roles-per-recruiter × close rate. Monthly revenue = placements × avg fee. Annual = monthly × 12.
Raffi-augmented formula.Raffi monthly placements = baseline placements × capacity multiplier (default 1.5×, range 1.0-3.0×). Raffi cost = Growth $599/mo + $0.45/min × (active roles × applicants × 12-min interview). Net monthly revenue = gross monthly revenue minus Raffi monthly cost.
Constants held.Close rate (in practice rises 5-10% with Raffi but we don’t bake it in — avoids double-counting). Onboarding ramp (real-world 30-60 days; model assumes steady-state from M1). Recruiter headcount. Avg fee. Adjusting any of these inputs re-runs the forecast in real time.
What this doesn’t model. Hire-quality differences, client retention lift from faster turnaround, market downturn risk. All real but excluded for clean comparison. Pair with the capacity calculator (same multiplier in single-period frame) and the margin calculator (per-placement cost lens) for the full picture.
Directional planning tool. Realistic forecasts anchor against M6-M12 numbers; M1-M3 is the transition window. Pilot one role through Raffi to validate close rate + turnaround before committing to a full rollout.
