ROI Logic

Agencies can charge a premium for white-label ATS management because it replaces the client's need for a dedicated recruiter or HR hire, which typically costs $40k-$60k annually. The agency's margin comes from leveraging a single platform (like GoHire) across multiple clients, spreading the subscription cost and standardizing delivery. Recurring management fees provide predictable monthly revenue.

Deliverables
  • Configured ATS instance with branded application portal
  • Job posting templates and distribution playbook
  • Screening criteria and automated workflow documentation
  • Reporting dashboard with time-to-fill and source analytics
  • Training materials and admin handover guide
Definition of Done

The client's first two job postings have been live for at least 5 days, the agency has screened and shortlisted candidates, and the client has signed off on the reporting dashboard and training completion.
