STRATA for staffing and recruiting firms. The five operating gaps that cost firms recoverable placement revenue every month.

Platforms at v1: Bullhorn, JobAdder, Crelate, Loxo, Avionté

The operating gaps

Named in operator language. One paragraph each.

  1. 01

    Manual document processing across resumes, I-9s, W-2s, and intake forms

    Each candidate cycle generates a dozen documents in five formats from four channels. Recruiters and onboarding coordinators key the data into the ATS and the back-office system; the cycle costs hours per role. Document Processing eliminates the keystrokes without changing the ATS of record.

  2. 02

    Candidate follow-up gaps in the placement pipeline

    The 48-hour post-submission check-in is on the plan. The 72-hour interview-prep touch is on the plan. The post-placement Week 1 / Week 4 / Day 90 check-ins are on the plan. Inconsistent execution costs placements at every stage. Follow-Up Automation closes the intention gap.

  3. 03

    Cold or dormant candidate database with no re-engagement sequence

    The ATS holds five to fifty thousand prior candidates: placed, passed, ghosted, or seasonal. Most are reachable. Most are not being contacted. Revenue Recovery sequences against the dormant book produce placements with zero net-new sourcing spend.

  4. 04

    Slow speed-to-submit on inbound applications and referrals

    The application lands at 2:14 p.m. The first recruiter touch is the next business day. The competing firm called the candidate inside two hours and pre-qualified them. Speed-to-Lead closes the inbound response gap against your ATS.

  5. 05

    Internal reporting compiled by hand from ATS plus back office

    Placements by recruiter, submission-to-placement conversion, time-to-fill, client retention. The ops director stitches the report Monday morning from the ATS, the back-office system, and the spreadsheet. Internal Reporting unifies the view.

The Revenue Audit

Know your specific number before you commit to anything.

The Revenue Audit for staffing firms is a fifteen-minute working session against an ATS export and a recent month of submission and placement data. We calculate recoverable revenue across dormant-candidate re-engagement, inbound speed-to-submit, and document-processing time reclaimed. The retainer is sized against the figure. Honest no on the call if the figure does not justify.

  1. A specific dollar figure of recoverable revenue, calculated against your own data.
  2. A vertical-specific gap diagnosis named in operator language, not marketing language.
  3. A reference conversation with an operator in your vertical or an adjacent one.
  4. A retainer sized against the figure, or an honest no on the call.

Insurance, HVAC, and dental are our installation wedges at v1. We accept Revenue Audits in staffing and recruiting and run them against the same diagnostic; the engagement timeline is set during the call.

Stack recommendation for Staffing and Recruiting

Layered in the order that produces the visible ROI event first.

  1. Layer 1

    Revenue Recovery

    The dormant candidate book is the largest recoverable asset for most staffing firms; reactivation produces placements inside thirty days.

  2. Layer 1

    Speed-to-Lead

    Inbound application response, paired with Revenue Recovery, closes the second largest leak.

  3. Layer 2

    Document Processing

    Resume parsing, onboarding paperwork, and timesheet intake creates the integration depth.

  4. Layer 3

    Follow-Up Automation

    Multi-touch candidate sequencing, client-side check-ins, and post-placement retention sequences.

  5. Layer 3

    Internal Reporting

    Placements, conversion, time-to-fill, and recruiter utilization in one weekly view.

Proof

Across the audits the firm has run, the typical recoverable figure on a $1M to $5M book is $30,000 to $90,000 per year. Your figure is specific to your book.

STRATA is quiet about engagements in flight.

References are matched to your vertical and available on the audit call. Case studies are published when the customer is ready to be named. What we can tell you: the audit call will include a reference conversation with an operator in your vertical or an adjacent one.

Operational questions

What operators ask before the audit call.

What ATS platforms does STRATA integrate with at v1?+
Bullhorn, JobAdder, Crelate, Loxo, and Avionté are supported at v1. If your ATS is not on this list, ask on the audit call.
Does this work for boutique staffing or only larger firms?+
Layer 1 is operationally meaningful at $1M+ in annual gross revenue. Larger firms get additional value from cross-team reporting. The audit math says yes or no against your specific numbers.
Will recruiters need to learn a new system?+
No. The integration sits between the ATS and the inbound channels. Recruiters continue in the ATS as they do today.
How do you handle candidate data privacy?+
Engagements run under DPA; candidate PII is minimized in audit exports; production processing follows your existing ATS security posture. The /security page covers the full posture.
What does the prospect bring to the audit call?+
A candidate export from the ATS, a recent month of submission and placement data, and a sample client-side workflow. Fifteen minutes is enough to produce the figure.

How the engagement is governed

Three structural promises. All on the record.

The Honest No

If the Revenue Audit shows the recoverable revenue does not justify the retainer, the firm says so on the audit call. STRATA is not the right fit for every business in a vertical, and we name that directly.

The Pause Clause

If the recovered revenue does not exceed the monthly retainer within the first 60 days of deployment, the engagement pauses until the gap is closed.

Month-to-month

The first 90 days of any STRATA engagement is month-to-month. Long-term commitments are earned by operational performance, not signatures.

Your recoverable revenue is a specific number.

The Revenue Audit calculates it from your staffing and recruiting data in fifteen minutes.

The Pause Clause stands. The Honest No is on the audit call. The first 90 days is month-to-month.
