The Challenges of Traditional SDR Hiring
Time-Consuming Process
The traditional hiring process is often a time-consuming task that can significantly delay a startup's growth.
Finding and onboarding the right SDRs and BDRs involves multiple steps, including job postings, CV screenings, interviews, assessments, and negotiations.
On average, it takes about 42 days to fill a position in the tech industry, but this can extend even further if the specific skills and expertise are hard to find. This prolonged period can be especially damaging for SaaS startups.
Once a hire is made, the onboarding process begins. This involves training the new SDR on the company’s products, sales processes, and tools. According to a study by Glassdoor, the average onboarding process takes around 8-12 weeks. During this period, the new hire isn't fully productive, so the startup's sales efforts are delayed.
These hiring and onboarding delays can affect overall sales traction. When a startup is in its early stages, every day counts.
The inability to quickly ramp up a sales team means missed opportunities, slower customer acquisition, and, ultimately, slower revenue growth. A study by HubSpot indicates that companies with a more efficient sales process achieve 28% faster revenue growth.
Given these challenges, it becomes evident why many SaaS startups are turning to alternative solutions like SalesPipe. With a pool of pre-vetted, experienced SDRs ready to jump in right away, SalesPipe cuts out the long hiring and onboarding hassle.

High Costs and Risks
When a company decides to bring SDRs on board the old-fashioned way, it must be prepared for significant financial investments and uncertainties that can affect its bottom line.
First, let's talk about the direct costs.
Recruiting an SDR involves various expenses: job advertisements, recruitment agency fees, background checks, and possible relocation costs. According to a report from SHRM, the average cost-per-hire in the tech industry is around $4,000. For startups operating on tight budgets, these costs can quickly add up.
Moreover, once an SDR is hired, the company must invest in their onboarding and training. This process typically requires dedicated resources, including time from existing staff members who must train the new hire. A study from Glassdoor reveals that organizations spend an average of $1,200 per employee on training alone.
Then come the indirect costs. The new SDR doesn't contribute to revenue generation during the hiring and onboarding period. This downtime can be expensive.

Then come the indirect costs. The new SDR doesn't contribute to revenue generation during the hiring and onboarding period. This downtime can be expensive.
Consider the opportunity cost of not having an active SDR: missed sales targets, delayed customer engagement, and slower market penetration. A research piece by Aberdeen Group shows that companies with effective onboarding programs achieve 91% greater year-over-year improvement in revenue and profit margins. Conversely, ineffective onboarding can severely impact these metrics.
In addition to costs, there are significant risks involved. The tech industry sees a high turnover rate, with SDR positions particularly vulnerable. A Bridge Group report highlights that an SDR's average tenure is just 1.5 years.
High turnover means that companies may need to repeat the process sooner than anticipated, even after investing in hiring and training. This churn can destabilize the sales team and disrupt ongoing sales efforts.
Furthermore, there always needs to be more certainty of hiring the right fit. Despite thorough vetting, there's no guarantee that a new hire will meet performance expectations or blend well with the team. Poor hires can lead to further resource drain, as additional time and money are spent addressing performance issues or finding replacements.

Our flexible pricing plans are designed with startups in mind. Whether you need one SDR or a team, SalesPipe offers scalable solutions that fit within your budget. Our Starter plan allows you to work with one SDR for just $600 per month, plus the agreed-upon compensation with the SDR.
