What This Is

On-demand support built
around your actual problem

Project recruiting is for the situations where retained executive search isn't the right tool — high volume, short timeline, multi-role, multi-market. Your business grew faster than your TA team. A division is expanding. You have a product launch in 90 days and 12 open roles.

We step in, learn your organization, and start moving. No ramp time of months. No junior coordinator learning your business at your expense. You get a senior recruiter who can execute from day one.

We work the number of roles you need, for the duration you need, and step back when the work is done. The engagement scales with your hiring volume, not the other way around.

Fast activation
We can be sourcing candidates within days of engagement. No months of onboarding. No learning curve at your expense.
Pipeline development and tracking
We build and maintain your candidate pipeline, track applicants across roles, and give you real visibility into where things stand.
Candidate screening and presentation
We handle sourcing, screening, scheduling, and candidate communication — your hiring managers see pre-vetted, move-ready candidates.
Scales with your volume
Need 5 roles filled this quarter and 15 next? The engagement adjusts. You're not paying for capacity you don't need.
Who This Is For

Right for organizations
moving fast

You have a deadline and not enough people to hit it
A growth initiative, product launch, or division expansion that requires more hiring capacity than your current team has. We step in and run alongside you.
You need volume without adding headcount
A full-time recruiter comes with salary, benefits, and overhead — for a need that may be temporary. Project recruiting gives you capacity without the commitment.
Your internal team is solid but overloaded
Your TA team is good. They're just buried. We reinforce without disrupting — sourcing, screening, and presenting while they manage the stakeholders they already have.
How It Works

What to expect

1
Intake and alignment
We spend time understanding your roles, your culture, your hiring process, and your timeline. This isn't onboarding busywork — it's what makes us effective from week one.
2
Active sourcing begins
We start building pipelines across the platforms where your candidates actually are — not just the ones everyone defaults to.
3
Weekly reporting and calibration
You get weekly updates on pipeline status, candidate quality, and what we're adjusting. No black box. No 'we're working on it' with nothing behind it.
Full visibility, weekly.
4
Screens and handoffs
We screen every candidate before they reach your hiring managers. You see people who are ready for a real conversation, not first-round filters.
5
Wind down or extend
When the project is complete, we wrap cleanly. If the need continues, we continue. The engagement is yours to manage.
Our Commitment

We stay in it
with you

Project recruiting clients get the same senior attention as retained search clients. You're not handed off to a junior team because the engagement is shorter or the roles are more junior. You work with the same person who won the business.

90-Day Placement Guarantee
If your placement leaves within 90 days of their start date for any reason other than position elimination or company-initiated layoff, we conduct a full replacement search at no additional retainer fee. No fine print. No debate about whose fault it was.
Common Questions

What people
ask us most

Project recruiting is the right tool when you need volume, speed, or flexibility rather than a single high-stakes placement. If you have ten open roles to fill in 90 days, a division expanding rapidly, or a backlog your internal team can't work through — that's a project engagement. If you have one critical leadership role that's been open for months and requires a specific profile — that's retained search.
We can typically be sourcing candidates within days of engagement. There's no months-long onboarding. You work with a senior recruiter who learns your organization quickly and starts producing from week one.
No. Project engagements are structured around your actual need — what you need filled and over what timeframe. We don't require long-term contracts or force you into capacity you don't need.
We provide project recruiting support across all of our practice areas — healthcare, clinical research, manufacturing, financial services, legal, logistics, and professional services. The model works for any organization that needs recruiting capacity without adding a permanent headcount.
