One product, three jobs
Applicant tracking software for a small hiring desk: cost the hire, time the fill, keep the record.
Recruiting software for the person who fills the roles at a small organization and is doing it out of a spreadsheet and an inbox today: what a hire actually cost once the ads, the agency fees and your own hours are counted, how long a fill takes and how much of that wait happens before an offer even exists, how many applicants a hire needs at your own conversion rates, whether an agency fee is worth paying against filling it in-house and how many hires a year would justify a recruiter instead, and how a weighted shortlist actually ranks.

Cost the hire. Time the fill. Keep the record.
-
What a hire actually cost, once your own hours are in it
$2,400 of advertising, $9,000 of agency fees and 120 hours at $45 is $16,800 over six hires: $2,800 each, of which $1,900 is money out the door and 54% of the whole spend is agency fees. That last figure is usually the one nobody has worked out.
-
How long a fill takes, and where the wait actually happens
Six days to a screen, nine to an interview, eleven to an offer and five to acceptance is 31 days end to end, and 26 of them pass before an offer exists at all. 84% of the wait is upstream of the thing everyone blames.
-
Every applicant against the req they applied to
Reqs with a stage and an owner, applicants with a source and a date, interviews and offers with an outcome, and clients with their fee terms if you are an agency, all filed against the desk, so the question about last quarter's hiring has an answer. Everything exports.

Why not just buy a full talent acquisition suite?
Need requisition approval chains, careers-site building, CRM nurture campaigns, interview scheduling across timezones and an integration to your HRIS? Buy the suite, and budget for the implementation. Reqnix is the other case: the desk whose figures live in a spreadsheet and whose applicants live in an inbox, where the cost, the days and the conversion are what is actually unknown.
| Reqnix | A full talent acquisition suite | |
|---|---|---|
| What it costs to start | Free. The six sheets work on the page with no account and no card. | A per-seat monthly fee, usually with a minimum and an implementation charge. |
| The candidate database | None, on purpose. You bring your own applicants. | A sourcing database and nurture campaigns, which is much of what you are paying for. |
| The arithmetic behind the desk | Six sheets that show the working: cost, days, conversion, fee, scoring. | Dashboards that give the number, usually without the inputs that produced it. |
| Getting your figures back out | Export every req, applicant, interview and client at any time, and for 90 days after you cancel. | Varies by vendor, and is worth asking about before you sign. |
Both answers are legitimate and they are not the same purchase. If sourcing and nurture are the thing you need, this is not it, and we will say so if you ask.
