ROI Logic

At $150/month per seat, Harbor replaces multiple tools that could cost $500+ per month per recruiter, saving the client $350+ monthly. An agency charging $2,500 for this sprint (as in the Harbor SMB Recruiting Launchpad) covers the tool cost for over a year and generates margin of $1,000 to $1,450 per engagement.

Deliverables
  • Configured Harbor workspace with pipelines, stages, and CRM fields
  • Automated outreach sequences and email templates for candidates and clients
  • Browser extension sourcing workflow documented and trained
  • Standard operating procedures for pipeline management and sourcing
  • Harbor usage guide and 30-day adoption check-in plan
Definition of Done

Client's team is actively using Harbor for all candidate and client management, with automated sequences live and no reliance on legacy tools.
