FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS.

Common leadership and recruitment queries.

What is Fractional Recruiting?

Fractional recruiting is an on-demand model where senior talent acquisition specialists are 'rented' on a part-time or project basis. It provides the expertise of a high-end agency with the dedicated focus of an internal team.

How does the pricing model work?

We offer flat monthly retainers or hourly project rates, typically resulting in a 30-50% savings compared to traditional percentage-based contingency fees.

Do you use our ATS and company email?

Yes. Our fractional partners fully embed into your tech stack and operate under your brand to ensure a seamless candidate experience.

Is there a minimum contract length?

We typically start with a 30-day pilot to ensure alignment, with most engagements continuing through the duration of a specific hiring cycle (3-6 months).
