Why these tools are free.
Most recruiting buyers spend more time researching the engagement than running it. The best VP HR I've worked with opens a spreadsheet, calls three peers, reads two industry reports, and then still isn't sure whether per-hire executive search or a monthly RaaS retainer is the right call for their hiring plan.
These tools give you the numbers I use on the first client call — free, ungated, no email wall in the way of the answer. If the tool tells you your best move is to keep the hiring in-house, that's an honest answer. If it tells you RaaS saves you $28K vs per-hire fees across six projected placements this year, that's an honest answer too. The email capture, when there is one, comes after the useful result — not before.
