Most companies experience recruiting as a black box. You brief an agency, wait for updates, and hope the candidates align with your expectations. At The Source and Recruit Company, we believe hiring works better when the process is transparent, collaborative, and driven by real market intelligence. From outreach strategy to candidate evaluation, our clients have visibility into how the search is progressing and why candidates are being presented.
Our team specializes across industries including construction, engineering, healthcare, manufacturing, finance, and professional services. That specialization allows us to understand the realities of your labor market, compensation trends, and hiring challenges before the search even begins. Combined with AI-driven sourcing, structured assessments, and hands-on recruiting expertise, we help organizations make more informed hiring decisions and build stronger teams with confidence.

Start with a brief discovery call. We’ll clarify the role, success metrics, and any challenges impacting your search. If needed, we help refine or build a complete job description to ensure internal alignment before sourcing begins. This sets the foundation for an accurate, efficient, and effective search process.
We develop a tailored recruiting strategy based on market conditions and your timeline. Your proposal includes one primary recommendation and several alternative options, each outlining clear deliverables, terms, and pricing. Once approved, we begin strategic sourcing, tapping into our networks, databases, and outreach systems to build your candidate pipeline.
We manage the entire search from start to finish. This includes candidate sourcing, AI-assisted and assessment-based screening, and preparing shortlists with detailed evaluation summaries. As candidates advance, we coordinate interviews, facilitate PXT Select assessments, and handle SkillSurvey reference checks, background checks, and offer support.
Submit your resume or tell us a little about yourself. If you don’t have a resume, we’ll help you shape your story and highlight your experience.
We begin with a comprehensive review of your resume and career goals, delving into what makes you unique in your industry. This session is where we start drafting the plans for your career growth, offering you targeted advice to refine your job search strategy.
Based on your career goals—including target job titles, location, salary, and work environment preferences (in-person, hybrid, or remote)—we help you automate your job search using software that captures 60–80% of all available job postings online.
Every critical hire comes with its own market dynamics, competitive pressures, and cultural fit requirements. Recruiting a CFO is not the same as hiring a construction project manager, healthcare leader, or engineering specialist — and treating them the same is often why searches fail.
At The Source and Recruit Company, we build every engagement around the realities of the specific role, industry, and organization in front of us. Our team combines specialized recruiting expertise, AI-driven sourcing, structured screening, and market intelligence to identify candidates who are qualified on paper and aligned for long-term success.
Clients typically come to us after experiencing transactional recruiting processes that prioritized volume over precision. What they find instead is a recruiting partner that understands how to tailor strategy, communication, and candidate evaluation to the position that actually needs to be filled.
If the hire matters, the process should too.
Large national staffing firms run on volume. They fill hundreds of roles simultaneously, assign junior coordinators to most searches, and move on quickly when a placement does not stick. That model works for commodity hiring. It does not work when the role matters.
Source and Recruit operates differently.
As a boutique recruiting firm, every search is handled by a qualified Talent Advisor who owns the process from kickoff to close. You are not passed between account managers.
You are not handed a recycled shortlist. You get a dedicated professional who understands your industry, has built relationships with candidates, and is accountable for the outcome of your search from day one. That level of attention changes what is possible. Our clients get faster responses, more candid market feedback, and placements that hold because the search was done properly, not quickly.
Got questions? Here are some quick answers to common concerns we hear from clients and candidates alike.
A recruiting agency generally helps an employer find and hire employees directly onto its payroll. A staffing agency may also employ workers and assign them to client organizations for temporary, contract, or contract-to-hire work.
The Source and Recruit Company offers direct-hire recruiting and staffing solutions, allowing employers to select the model that best fits their workforce needs.
Yes. We are headquartered in Danby Four Corners, Vermont, employ a Vermont-based workforce, and support employers throughout the state, including the Burlington, Rutland, Montpelier, Bennington, Brattleboro, and Northeast Kingdom regions.
We support numerous employers outside Vermont as well.
Yes. Direct-hire recruiting is a core part of our business. We help employers recruit for permanent positions through fractional recruiting, contingency search, retained search, and executive search arrangements.
The appropriate model depends on your hiring requirements, search complexity, and preferred commercial structure.
Our staffing offerings include temporary contract assignments and contract-to-hire arrangements, subject to assignment eligibility, required insurance, and agreed service terms.
For contract-to-hire engagements, an employer may evaluate an individual during an initial assignment before deciding whether to offer permanent employment.
The cost depends on the services requested, the position, and the engagement structure.
Direct-hire recruiting may involve a placement fee or time-based recruiting charges. Temporary staffing typically uses an hourly bill rate that includes the worker's compensation, applicable employment costs, and agreed recruiting and administrative charges.
We prepare proposals so businesses can review the applicable costs and terms before proceeding.
