Operationally strong, but fragmented — ~22% of stack spend is recoverable.
Stratton Partners runs a credible mid-market operation with healthy ATS adoption on Bullhorn and a maturing BD motion through Apollo and SourceWhale. However, three categories — meeting intelligence, sourcing and CRM — show meaningful overlap, and recruiter AI adoption is concentrated in a small group of power users. With a focused 90-day program we estimate $84k in annual savings and a ~14-point lift in operational maturity.
