Case Study: National Rugby League saves $1.5–$2 Million in agency fees with JobAdder

Using JobAdder speeds up the entire process and is saving an estimated $1.5 - $2 Million in agency fees

National Rugby League (NRL), the governing body of Rugby League in Australia, needed a better way to manage high-volume hiring across multiple teams and roles. Before adopting JobAdder, the People & Culture team relied on a limited free CRM that couldn’t support the scale, speed, and coordination required for recruiting around 4 people a week and interviewing 20–30 candidates weekly.

With JobAdder, NRL centralized recruitment in one portal, streamlined interview scheduling, applicant tracking, manager feedback, and candidate communication, and gained mobile access for on-the-go hiring. The result was faster, more organized recruiting and an estimated savings of $1.5–$2 million in agency fees, with NRL also noting strong value for money and minimal downtime from JobAdder.
