Let’s break down the “SaaS Tax” together.
When you add up the tools a modern recruiting team needs, the total is…staggering. And that’s before you hire someone to use them.

What you’re really paying for

LinkedIn Recruiter seat (plus InMails & add-ons)

ATS/CRM platform (like Greenhouse or Lever)

Setup, training & ongoing admin (your team’s time, too)

Typical yearly cost

$15,000 – $25,000

$15,000 – $40,000

$5,000 – $15,000+

Total “SaaS Tax” $35,000 – $80,000

That’s a big budget line that never talks to a candidate.

We built Moonshot to change that.

Common questions about fractional recruiting

500+ Hires at Confluent, Splunk & The Trade Desk

David Oliver spent 15+ years leading recruiting at high-growth tech companies:

Confluent (Series D → IPO)
Splunk (hyper-growth phase)
The Trade Desk (scaling GTM teams)

He's hired 500+ engineers, GTM leaders, and executives.

He's seen what happens when companies hire too slow (they lose top talent to competitors). He's seen what happens when they hire too fast (they burn cash on bad fits).

In 2018, he founded Moonshot to combine what actually works:

✓ AI speed for sourcing and screening
✓ Human judgment for culture fit and quality
✓ Transparent pricing with no corporate BS

Today, Moonshot helps tech startups and growth-stage companies hire exceptional talent without the overhead of a full recruiting team—or the pain of working with traditional agencies.
