It might be pricey, but so are recruiters. If this process cost $50k ($5k/hire) it is absolutely a win.

Recruitment fees are often (in Cambridge, UK at least) more like to 20% rather than 10%.

To employ 10 software engineers, at say £36k average salary, would have ended up costing close to £70k through traditional recruitment agencies.
