The verdict in three sentences
A Dublin recruitment agency site must convert two opposite audiences on the same homepage: candidates looking for a role and enterprise HR leaders looking for a partner. A redesign with an integrated job board, between 11,000 and 26,000 EUR (net), structures those two journeys instead of blending them. The 12-month result: +35% qualified leads on the client side and a rising candidate flow at zero acquisition cost.
Cost by module: what makes up the redesign
A recruitment agency doesn't need everything at once. Here is the 2026 order of magnitude per module, to help you scope.
| Module | Role | Range EUR (net) |
|---|---|---|
| Showcase base + dual journey | Home, expertise, team, contact | 6,000 - 11,000 |
| Integrated job board | Posting, filters, online application | 3,500 - 8,000 |
| ATS light (application tracking) | Pipeline, statuses, notifications | 2,500 - 5,500 |
| Blog & employer brand | Article CMS, categories, SEO | 1,500 - 3,500 |
| Full redesign total | Showcase + job board + ATS + blog | 11,000 - 26,000 |
The integrated job board is the highest-yield module: it turns the site into a production tool, not just a showcase.
What the redesign returns, with figures
The redesign is justified by conversion, not aesthetics alone. Here is the typical 12-month impact for a 6-to-15-consultant agency in Dublin.
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Qualified client leads / month | 8 | 11 |
| Online applications / month | 40 | 120 |
| Candidate acquisition cost | 22 EUR | 7 EUR |
| Application completion rate | 41% | 74% |
| Average time to shortlist | 12 d | 8 d |
| Monthly maintenance | 150 - 350 EUR | 150 - 350 EUR |
Monthly maintenance (150-350 EUR) covers hosting, job-board updates and an allowance for evolutions: build it into the quote.

Mini case study
Nadia, director of an 11-consultant recruitment agency in Dublin, invests 19,000 EUR (net) in a redesign with a job board and ATS light. Before, she generated 8 qualified client leads per month; after the redesign, +35% takes her to 11, i.e. 36 extra leads per year. Her lead-to-mission conversion is 20%, on average fees of 14,000 EUR per placement. Those 7 additional placements represent 98,000 EUR in annual revenue. The site pays for itself in three months, including 300 EUR/month maintenance.
FAQ
Why build an integrated job board rather than use an external tool? An integrated job board keeps candidates on your brand, feeds your SEO with indexable job pages, and drops candidate acquisition cost from 22 to 7 EUR. An external tool leaks traffic and dilutes your employer brand.
What does an ATS light add? It centralises application tracking (statuses, notifications, pipeline) without the cost of an enterprise ATS. Plan for 2,500 to 5,500 EUR (net) for a version suited to an agency of under 15 consultants.
How long does the redesign take? Between 7 and 9 weeks, including 1 to 2 weeks for the job board and ATS. The dual candidate/client journey requires careful UX scoping up front.
What maintenance budget? Between 150 and 350 EUR (net) per month, depending on job-board activity and job volume. It covers hosting, security and small evolutions.
Can I start without the ATS and add it later? Yes: the showcase + job board base is enough to launch. The ATS light is added in phase 2, usually 3 to 6 months after go-live, without a redesign.
