BizzyCar, a fast-growing mobility tech startup, needed top-tier engineering talent to fuel its ambitious roadmap. However, traditional recruiting agencies became a major bottleneck and budget drain. Sourcing specialized tech roles (Software Engineers and Data talent ) was slow and expensive. HR and hiring managers were overwhelmed screening low-quality applicants, while agency fees consumed critical resources.
Recruiting agencies charged BizzyCar an average of $28,584per hire – 20% of first-year salaries. This model directly impacted theirinnovation budget and growth.
