What you're dealing with

The hiring problems this role keeps running into.

Pain 01

Agency fees are uncapped

25% of an unknown salary on an unknown number of hires. The line item swings 30% quarter to quarter.

Pain 02

Cost-per-hire is invisible

Across three agencies, two contractors and an in-house team, no one can tell you the true number.

Pain 03

ROI on hiring spend is unprovable

You can't link a hire to revenue if you can't even attribute the cost cleanly.

How Saiyō solves it

Fixed cost. Measured outcome.

RaaS replaces variable agency fees with a flat monthly subscription. Cost-per-hire becomes a single number, forecastable across the year. Partners average a 59% reduction versus a comparable agency model, and the hiring spend line stops surprising the audit committee.
