RaaS
Recruiting as a service provides sourcing and screening on a subscription rather than a per-placement commission.
You pay a monthly fee for a defined recruiting capacity: a number of active roles, sourced candidates, or dedicated recruiter hours. It reframes recruiting as an operating cost rather than a transaction fee tied to salary, which changes the economics sharply for senior hires.

What it costs
Typically a few thousand dollars a month per active role, which undercuts a 20 to 25 percent placement fee on any senior salary.
On volume and on senior roles, usually yes. For one junior hire, a contingency agency may still cost less in absolute terms.
You still pay for the service, which is the trade-off for lower unit cost. That is why RaaS suits companies with real, sustained hiring need.
