FormaCV for staffing agencies — submit faster, win more placements
A staffing agency lives or dies on submission speed. FormaCV cuts CV formatting time from 25 minutes to 60 seconds, so your recruiters submit first and win more placements.
The staffing agency math
A 10-recruiter agency formatting 50 CVs/week per recruiter:
Current state: 500 CVs × 25 min = 208 hours/week of recruiter time on formatting → ~$10,400/week at $50/hr
With FormaCV: 500 CVs × 1 min = 8 hours/week → ~$400/week
Plus FormaCV cost: 500 × $1.30 = $650/week
Net saving: $9,350/week — over $480,000/year
That is 5–10 recruiter heads worth of capacity recovered.
