How is fractional recruiting different from traditional recruiting?

Fractional recruiting gives without the potential high fees of contingent or retained search access to experienced recruiters on a part-time or project basis — without the high fees of contingency or retained, transparent deliverables, search firms. You get focused support, tailored to your hiring goals, with transparent costs and consistent delivery.

Can I use fractional recruiting for just one role?

Yes. Whether you need help filling one critical position or ongoing pipeline development, we customize our support based on your needs. There's no long-term contract or minimums required.

Will I still have control over the hiring process?

Absolutely. We act as an extension of your internal team, aligning with your workflows, culture, and priorities. You maintain visibility and final decision-making throughout the process.

How quickly can you start?

We typically launch within one week of project acceptance. Our fractional model is designed for speed and adaptability.

Is this model cost-effective compared to hiring internally?

In most cases, yes. Fractional recruiting provides senior-level expertise at is half the price of contingency and retained search.

What types of roles do you typically hire for?

We specialize in sourcing talent across a wide range of industries and roles—from executive search to frontline operations. Our internal team includes recruiters, account managers, and client success roles, while our client work covers everything from healthcare to finance to tech.

Can I work remotely?

Yes, all of our operations roles offer remote flexibility depending on the position and client needs. We prioritize results and communication, not where your desk is.

What is the interview process like?

Most applicants complete an initial screening, a Step One Survey, and a PXT Select assessment — the same tools we use with our clients every day. From there, you’ll move into a role-specific interview. We aim to keep the process efficient, transparent, and respectful of your time.

Do you offer training or mentorship?

Absolutely. Continuous learning is part of our culture. New hires get structured onboarding, and we offer regular workshops, peer mentorship, and access to training and recruiting tools to support career growth.

How soon will I hear back after applying?

We strive to acknowledge all applications within 3–5 business days. From there, we’ll keep you updated throughout the process—even if it’s a pass, you’ll always know where things stand.

Are these tools customizable to our industry or team?

Yes. Whether you’re hiring skilled trades, corporate staff, or executives, we tailor our assessments, workflows, and benchmarks to reflect your roles, culture, and business goals.

How do you ensure the tools reduce bias rather than reinforce it?

We use validated tools like PXT Select and SkillSurvey that are built to minimize unconscious bias. Combined with structured interviews and clear criteria, our process promotes fair, consistent evaluations across all candidates.

Is it hard to adopt these tools into our existing systems?

No—we handle setup, training, and integration. Our team ensures that your hiring managers and HR teams can use the tools without technical hassle or extra work.

What if we already have our own hiring tools?

That’s great. We’ll either complement what you’re already using or offer alternatives where there are gaps. Our goal is to support—not disrupt—your current process.

What’s included in your outplacement support package?

Our standard package includes one-on-one coaching, resume and LinkedIn optimization, guidance for AI-powered job matching and auto-apply, interview prep, and emotional support resources. We can also tailor the experience based on the level of your exiting employees.

How long do you work with each departing employee?

Most employees receive 3 hours of consultative support depending on their budget and their role. We’ll work with you to determine the right duration for meaningful results — and every candidate gets access to resources they can keep using during and following the outplacement program.

Do you offer group workshops or just one-on-one support?

Our approach is entirely personalized. Every individual receives one-on-one coaching tailored to their goals, experience, and career direction — ensuring focused guidance, accountability, and the confidence to move forward effectively.

How quickly can we get started?

We can typically onboard your team within 3–5 business days. If you're facing an urgent layoff or reorg, we offer rapid deployment to make sure your employees have support from day one.

What makes your approach different from other outplacement providers?

We blend human empathy with smart technology. Our coaches are industry veterans, and our recommended tools help employees land faster — often in roles better suited to their long-term goals. Plus, our pricing is transparent and flexible to fit your needs.
