Fractional Recruitment Services for Small and Medium Sized Businesses

Fractional recruitment can help you save up to 75% of the typical costs associated with hiring

Fractional recruiting helps small and medium businesses optimize the work of talent sourcing—no in-house HR team or costly commission-based recruiters are required.

Recruiting challenges are a drain on businesses of all stripes and sizes. But they are particularly impactful for small and medium organizations which have no leeway for slack. After all, when you're small and mighty, every head count and the value of every dollar spent is paramount.

What is a Fractional Recruiter?

Fractional recruitment is an à la carte option that allows businesses to outsource the talent acquisition process—whether in its entirety or on a partial basis customized to your organization's capabilities and needs.

Fractional recruiters use an agile hiring model that offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods. This flexible model offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional recruiting methods such as dedicated in-house teams or costly recruitment firms.

Benefits of Fractional Recruitment

Any business is only as good as the people who work for it. This is especially true for small and medium organizations, where every individual employee plays an outsized role in driving company performance.

Whether you're looking for a full-time employee or executive talent, finding the best candidates for SMBs starts with a fractional recruiter that has a deep understanding of the unique needs of smaller organizations.

Here are some benefits of fractional recruiting for SMBs:

• Deep recruitment expertise, including knowing where to find top candidates who aren't actively checking job postings
• Access to specialized training and screening, such as personality fit tests, behavioural interview training for hiring managers, and professional background checks
• A la carte offerings that allow organizations to outsource as much or as little of the hiring process as needed
• Scalable model accommodates hiring fluctuations
• Knowledgeable hiring experts enable you to avoid inadvertent pitfalls, such as discriminatory postings or screening questions
• Savings of up to 75% over other recruitment models

Recruitment Strategy Matters

Building an engaged, talented workforce that drives great results isn't about getting people in chairs—first and foremost it's about finding individuals who are the best fit for your unique organization.

But that's where many recruitment outsourcing options pose a challenge.

Many recruiting companies work on a commission or contingency basis—meaning they are compensated based on a proportion of the salary of the role they are filling, and only once that role is filled. This incents recruiters to fill jobs fast, but doesn't always prioritize finding the best individual for the role.

At HR à la carte, our model is a little different.

As our name suggests, we work on an à la carte basis, meaning we are paid based on our time and the services we perform—whether that's designing interview questions or conducting initial phone screenings or handling the entire whole process, from job profiling through to candidate selection and offer.

As a small business ourselves, we're intimately familiar with the challenges and priorities of the organizations we work with. Our agile hiring model allows small and medium businesses to design a recruiting package that fits their unique needs and budget—so you can focus your hiring investment where you need the help, and eliminate fees for services you don't need.
