Context and limitations
What should buyers take from this result?
This engagement shows how a controlled TAaaS pilot can test delivery quality and compliance before a longer recruiting partnership.
The client remains anonymized. The 40% saving compares this engagement with traditional recruitment agency models and should not be treated as a universal saving.
