The most expensive part of a job advert is the people who click and leave. SHRM, citing data from Appcast, put the number plainly: the drop-off rate for people who click Apply but never complete an application is 92 percent.
Appcast's own data gives the lever. An application of over fifteen minutes sees an average apply rate of 3.6%. Bring it back to one to five minutes and the rate is 12.5%, nearly three and a half times higher.
What that means for an agency's job page
An agency does not hire the candidate; it represents them. There is no reason to make someone create an account, invent a password and fill a profile before a recruiter has even read the resume. Every field is a place to leave.
So the application in rinkats takes a name, an email, a resume and, if the candidate wants, a phone number. It answers with one sentence. The resume is parsed for the recruiter, not for the candidate, and the candidate is never asked to come back and maintain anything.
What it costs you
Nothing you would want. An application with a known email joins the existing candidate; any other arrives as a new card your team can merge. Every application lands at the first stage of the requirement's pipeline, on the same board as everything else.
