Gaining Momentum

Instant Impact is a legitimate mid-sized recruitment agency with a verifiable team size (350) and operational history (since 2011). However, the technical innovation is minimal, and the submission quality is exceptionally poor. Claims such as 'everyone' uses it and 'most people have used my product' are exaggerated and unsupported, resulting in a severe penalty via the quality factor multiplier across all categories.
