The math isn't close.
You have four ways to hire salespeople: job boards, recruiting agencies, doing it yourself, or Volition. Three of them charge you more every time you grow. Here's the honest comparison.
Where the other options leak money
Job boards
You pay for clicks and applications, not hires. Indeed doesn't know what a setter is, can't vet a candidate, and charges you the same whether the applicant shows up or ghosts. The volume is real. The quality is a coin flip.
Recruiting agencies
Agencies charge per head, forever. Every rep you add is another invoice, which means your recruiting cost scales exactly as fast as your growth. And most agencies are just dumping your money into the same job boards anyway.
Doing it in-house
Your best closers become part-time recruiters, spreadsheets become your ATS, and follow-up happens when someone remembers. It feels free. It costs you your leaders' selling hours and every candidate who slipped through the cracks.

Not a vendor. A recruiting machine.
Volition isn't a place you post jobs or a firm you pay per head. It's the full system: marketing that fills your funnel, technology that keeps candidates moving, and training that turns hires into producers, all owned by you.
See it on your numbers"Their team was able to drive 20x the candidates at a fifth of the cost of what I was spending on other recruiting agencies and Indeed ads. Volition has exceeded all expectations."
"Make sure your internal systems are ready to handle the volume, because these guys deliver. We got a little overwhelmed with how many great candidates came through."
