What could one recruiting ecosystem replace?
Compare your current recruiting team, disconnected software, and outside search spend with a FoundationOS model your team operates.
Consolidate the stack. Keep the capability in-house.
See what happens when your team uses FoundationOS to source, manage, and fill roles in one system your team controls. Role-level recruiting support remains optional.

50% expected reduction; remaining spend stays in the model. Foundation RPO Recruiting is scoped separately.
FoundationOS recruiting infrastructure (starting price)
One model. Two ways to recruit.
This comparison models your internal team working inside FoundationOS. Every current-stack line item is an editable annual estimate; optional role-level recruiting support is scoped separately, not traditional search firm fees, and is not included in this platform-only estimate. The FoundationOS line uses the $1,500 monthly starting price, so actual savings may be lower after custom pricing is determined.
This calculator uses FoundationOS starting pricing as an illustrative planning tool, not a quote. It does not assume that your internal recruiting team is eliminated. Actual economics depend on role mix, salaries, hiring volume, custom FoundationOS pricing, and the final engagement scope. Enter LinkedIn job posting spend in the job-distribution category only once; do not double-count it elsewhere.
