Price Pushback
"It's too expensive.
I understand budget concerns. Let's explore how our solution delivers value that can offset the initial investment.
We're happy with our current provider
Happy to hear it, who are you currently using, and what are they delivering for you?
Not the right time
Understood, when would be the right time and let's get on the calendar to be proactive.
So I can be a good partner- What is happening right now taking priority?
What happens in your current world to dictate if it's the right time?
Does this integrate with our ATS?
Yes, we do (and then go into smartapply detailed if applicable)
Check with the manager
I’d be happy to join a quick call with both of you to walk through how Talroo could add value to your hiring strategy.
"We don't have budget approval."
If I provided materials to help build a business case for budget approval, what would happen next?
We've always used Indeed/Zip
We're in a hiring freeze
We can discuss how our solution prepares you for when hiring resumes, can we be proactive and schedule time to see if Talroo can be the right fit for when hiring resumes?
Do you have other clients in our industry
*customer story in that very industry*
Yes- And what's been most valuable for them is how we tailor campaigns to their specific hiring needs, not just run generic ads. Happy to show you how we could do the same
Talroo works across a wide range of industries, including ones very similar to yours. What’s even better — through our partnership with HireEZ, we can now deliver even more targeted, qualified candidates based on your specific hiring goals. We’d tailor everything to what you need. Would you be open to a quick chat to see if we’re a fit?
They’ll only approve something with proven ROI
That’s exactly why clients love our test-fit approach. It’s a low-risk way to measure what Talroo can do before committing to anything long-term. Would you be open to seeing what that might look like for your team?
Better known sites offer a lower price
it's essential to consider the overall value and effectiveness of the solution. Talroo specializes in performance-based recruitment marketing, ensuring that you pay for results, not just exposure. Our clients often find that our targeted approach leads to higher-quality applicants and more efficient hiring processes, ultimately reducing time-to-hire and cost-per-hire. Would you be open to a brief discussion on how Talroo's solution could align with your hiring goals a
No need to change what's working
If I could briefly show you how Talroo fits in you current process without disrupting it, would you be open to learning more?
Let's revisit this next quarter
Time flies by, and planning ahead is wise. Let's book now to discuss what this looks like for next quarter.
What are hiring initiatives for next quarter that we can get ahead of?
We do not want to put your TA goals at risk and that is why we have our testfit to make you sure. What reasons are making this the timeline?
We have unique skillsets for our jobs
I'd like to introduce you to smartscreen as part of our Apply Intelligence toolkit.
HireEZ- go through the qualification framework
Leadership doesn’t want to add another tool right now
Talroo isn’t another tool to manage. We’re performance-based and integrate into your existing hiring flow. It’s more like flipping a switch to bring in more qualified candidates — no extra logins or complexity.
Our budget goes to Indeed
More companies than ever use Talroo alongside Indeed Why? Talroo specializes in reaching unique candidate pools that aren't typically found on traditional job boards, including Indeed. Our AI-driven platform taps into the other 40% of the job search market ensuring access to high-intent candidates you might otherwise miss
Our team isn't open to new vendors
When do you start evaluating new vendors?
"We're focusing on other priorities."
"A lot of teams we work with said the same — until hiring challenges became a bigger fire to put out. If we can help you stay ahead before it becomes urgent, would a quick conversation make sense?"
I understand you’re focused on other priorities. Many of our clients felt the same, but found that using Talroo streamlined hiring and freed up time for their core goals. Would you be open to a quick chat to see if we can help you do the same?"
How do I know you won't send me the same candidates as Indeed?"
One of the only sources who does not access Indeed
60% Of our audience is unique according to similar web
Procurement/Legal/Security needs to review
"Totally understand — we’ve worked with many clients through legal review. Just so I can support you properly on our side:
• Has your team selected Talroo as the vendor of choice pending legal approval?
• And is there a target date you're aiming to go live?
"I've never heard of Talroo and do not know if this will work"
I understand your concern, and that is why we do the TestFIT. Talroo has a proven track record of delivering measurable ROI for our clients. (if any are listed its a perfect score) For instance:
Staffmark Group reported a $3 million ROI on their recruiting efforts after partnering with Talroo. talroo.com+5talroo.com+5talroo.com+5
Staff On Site experienced a 50% reduction in cost per lead within months, with Talroo driving approximately 80% of their agency's traffic. Avionté
Finish’d, a caregiving platform, achieved a cost-per-hire of just $14.41, onboarding 90 qualified caregivers in a single month. talroo.com
Our platform leverages AI-driven recruitment marketing to connect you with high-intent candidates, optimizing your hiring process and reducing costs. I'd be happy to share more detailed case studies and discuss how Talroo can align with your specific hiring goals.
Changing systems is too disruptive
What caused you to implement your current providers?
How do you plan to address (major issues we speak on)
If this was the perfect fit, would it still be too disruptive?
Our fiscal year just ended/talk to me in 2026
When does it begin? Time flies and how far in advance do you evaluate new partnerships? Let's book before.
Totally get it — but honestly, it's the perfect time to test something new. Talroo’s test fit is no-contract and super flexible, so you can plug it in without locking up budget. Want to take a quick look?
*Story of customer in the same mindset*
Talroo's AI features, like SmartScreen and SmartMatch, are designed to enhance hiring efficiency by pre-qualifying candidates based on specific job criteria. This is why we were recognized with the 2025 HR Tech Award for Best Frontline-Focused Talent Acquisition Solution. Can I show you these in action?
We like what we’ve seen, but leadership wants to hold off for now and revisit this later in the year.
"I appreciate the transparency — timing is everything. Just to clarify, is the hesitation more about budget, competing priorities, or something else I can help with?
We’ve seen clients in similar positions run a short test-fit now to gather data — so when leadership is ready, the decision is backed by results, not assumptions. That way you’re not starting from scratch later.
Would that be helpful to explore before we lose momentum?"
