Got questions? Here are some quick answers to common concerns we hear from clients and candidates alike.
Traditional recruiting is often built around a fixed placement fee, usually paid as a percentage of the candidate’s salary. Fractional recruiting works differently. It gives you access to experienced recruiting support on a variable-cost basis, so your investment is tied more closely to the actual time, tools, and effort required to complete the search.
Instead of paying a traditional contingency or retained search fee regardless of how the work unfolds, Source and Recruit supports your hiring process as an extension of your team. We help with sourcing, screening, candidate communication, interview coordination, offer support, and search management while giving you greater transparency into the work being performed.
This model is often more cost-effective than traditional recruiting because it avoids unnecessary fixed-fee markups and gives employers focused support only when and where they need it. For many searches, fractional recruiting delivers senior-level recruiting capability at a significantly lower total cost than contingency or retained search.Fractional recruiting provides senior-level expertise at half the price of contingency and retained search, with no long-term contracts or minimums required.
