Fractional Recruitment - Talent Acquisition on Demand

Hiring needs don’t always follow a neat pattern. If your business is growing, changing, or just not ready to build an internal recruitment team, Fractional Recruitment offers a flexible, high-impact solution - without the cost of going permanent.

 

What Is Fractional Recruitment?

It’s like having your own in-house recruiter - without hiring one full-time.
We plug in a dedicated recruiter (or team) to work as an extension of your business, part-time or on-demand. You get personal, consistent support across all your hiring needs.

Think of it as embedded recruitment, but smarter and more scalable.

 

Why Use a Fractional Recruiter?

• No internal TA team? We become it.
• Hiring on-and-off? Scale support up or down.
• Need deeper candidate care? We represent your brand like it’s our own.
• Tired of traditional agency fees? This is budget-friendly and predictable.
• Got a hiring project or product launch? We slot in fast and stay focused.

 

Where It Works Best

Fractional Recruitment is ideal for:

• Startups or scale-ups without an internal recruiter
• Inconsistent hiring cycles
• Project-based or seasonal hiring
• Confidential, niche, or high-touch searches
• Companies with limited HR bandwidth

You pay for what you need, when you need it - not for downtime.

 

How It Works

1. Brief & Scope - We define hiring goals, cadence, and coverage
2. Embedded Support - Your recruiter is hands-on, visible, and proactive
3. End-to-End Delivery - From advert to offer, we handle the process
4. Weekly Reporting - Clear updates, metrics, and outcomes
5. Flexibility Built-In - Need more time? Less? We adjust easily

 

What You Get

• A dedicated, part-time recruiter embedded in your team
• End-to-end hiring support (not just sourcing)
• Weekly progress updates and metrics
• Seamless brand representation in the candidate market
• Flexible scope based on your current hiring load

 

How It Compares to Traditional Recruitment

Fractional recruitment is different from hiring via a traditional agency:

• You’re not paying per placement - you’re investing in a part-time embedded recruiter
• We represent your brand directly, not just “another agency” in their inbox
• We scale with your needs, from one hire to full-team buildouts
• You get consistency, visibility, and weekly reporting - not just CVs in a flurry

What Clients Say

“We don’t have a full HR team, so having someone plugged in who just ‘got it’ was a game-changer. The hires were right, but the process was even better.”
