Raffi: Buy vs Skip (Recruitment Agencies Screening 30+ Applicants Per Role)

IF your agency screens 30+ applicants per role and needs branded shortlists inside 24 hours, THEN Raffi's Free tier ($0, unlimited BYO jobs, pay per action) lets you validate scoring quality on one sandbox role before committing, and Pro at $199/month adds 1 sourced job plus 10 team seats when you are ready to run client work. IF you plan to resell screening as a recurring service, THEN model the per-action costs first: promoting a BYO job to sourced runs $99 per job, candidate reveals run $1.50, and AI interview minutes run $0.45, so Growth at $599/month with 5 sourced jobs included only makes sense once client volume absorbs those add-ons.

Raffi: Buy vs Skip (Recruitment Agencies Screening 30+ Applicants Per Role)

“IF your agency screens 30+ applicants per role and needs branded shortlists inside 24 hours, THEN Raffi's Free tier ($0, unlimited BYO jobs, pay per action) lets you validate scoring quality on one sandbox role before committing, and Pro at $199/month adds 1 sourced job plus 10 team seats when you are ready to run client work.

When is it the right choice?
  • Your agency fills roles that draw 30 or more applicants each and first-round calls are eating recruiter hours that could go to client development.
  • You already run Workable or Google Calendar in delivery, since Raffi connects to both plus LinkedIn, Indeed, and Slack without a rebuild of your stack.
  • Clients ask for shortlists under your agency's brand and domain, which Raffi supports through isolated multi-tenant client portals.
  • You want to test scoring quality and anti-cheat transcript detection on one low-risk role before signing a client contract, which the Free tier ($0, unlimited BYO jobs) allows.
  • You can bundle screening into an existing retainer rather than sell it standalone, so the $1.50 candidate reveal and $0.45 AI minute costs sit inside a larger fee.
When should you skip it?
  • Your average role attracts fewer than 10 applicants, where a $199/month Pro plan or $99 per sourced job promotion costs more than the recruiter time it replaces.
  • You need deep two-way ATS write access, because the Pro tier's Webhook API is read-only and full write integrations sit in higher plans.
  • Client contracts are fixed-fee with no volume clause, since per-action pricing at $1.50 per reveal and $0.45 per AI minute scales with applicant volume and can erode margin.
  • Your hiring clients require on-premise or self-hosted candidate data handling, which a white-label SaaS portal does not provide.
  • You only need live interview transcription and note-taking for human-led calls, a job SyntaxCue Pro covers rather than asynchronous first-round automation.
