What is Recruitment-as-a-Service?
Recruitment-as-a-Service provides dedicated recruiting expertise for an hourly fee. Our team works as an extension of your organization to manage some or all of the hiring process.

How is your recruiting model different from a traditional staffing agency?
Rather than charging a percentage of a candidate’s salary, our flexible hourly model allows you to use the level of recruiting support you need while maintaining visibility into the process.

What parts of the recruiting process can you manage?
We can support sourcing, screening, interviewing, candidate communication, interview coordination, offer management, recruitment strategy, reporting, and onboarding.

Can you help fill hard-to-find or specialized roles?
Yes. Our recruiters have experience building targeted searches for specialized, technical, professional, and leadership positions.

How quickly can your team begin?
Timing depends on the scope and required expertise, but our flexible model allows us to respond quickly and assemble support around your organization’s priorities.

How do you determine the right level of support?
We begin by learning about your business, workforce, immediate challenges, and long-term goals. We then recommend an approach that may include fractional, interim, project-based, recruiting, or executive search support.

Will we have a dedicated point of contact?
Yes. Clients receive a dedicated point of contact who coordinates communication, priorities, progress, and next steps.

Can your team work with our existing HR or talent acquisition department?
Absolutely. We frequently supplement internal teams by providing additional capacity, specialized expertise, or support during high-volume periods and major initiatives.

Do you work onsite or remotely?
Both options may be available depending on the engagement, location, and business need. Many engagements use a hybrid or remote model.
