Why AI Recruitment is 95% Cheaper Than Traditional Agencies
# Why AI Recruitment is 95% Cheaper Than Traditional Agencies
Traditional recruitment agencies charge 15-25% of a candidate's first-year salary. For a €100,000 position, that's €15,000-€25,000 per hire. AI recruitment changes the game entirely.
## The Traditional Agency Model
- **High fees**: 15-25% of annual salary
- **Slow process**: 4-8 weeks to present candidates
- **Limited reach**: Human recruiters can only source so many profiles
- **Subjective screening**: Prone to human bias
## The AI Recruitment Advantage
At InovateAI, we've flipped the model:
- **Fixed pricing**: €99-499 per candidate, regardless of salary
- **Lightning fast**: AI sources candidates in hours, not weeks
- **Massive scale**: Search millions of profiles instantly
- **Objective screening**: AI scores based on skills and experience
## The Math
| Role Salary | Traditional (20%) | InovateAI | Savings |
|-------------|------------------|-----------|---------|
| €50,000 | €10,000 | €149 | 98.5% |
| €80,000 | €16,000 | €249 | 98.4% |
| €120,000 | €24,000 | €349 | 98.5% |
