Are you driving home from work in a horse and buggy today?
Probably not—because better options exist.
So why are so many companies still using outdated recruiting models that charge massive placement fees for every hire?
At On The Hook Recruiting, we believe legacy contingency recruiting is the horse and buggy of professional services.
That’s why more employers are turning to a Fractional Recruiter approach for smarter, more cost-effective hiring support.
Demand Planner Recruiting Is Too Expensive Through Traditional Agencies
We recently helped one of our clients successfully fill a Demand Planner position.
For most traditional recruiting agencies, this would have resulted in a large contingency placement fee based on a percentage of the candidate’s annual salary.
In this case, competing agencies would have charged:
At least $12,400 more
…assuming a standard 20% placement fee structure.
That’s an enormous cost difference for just one hire.
Unfortunately, many companies continue using outdated recruiting models simply because “that’s how it has always been done.”
Fractional Recruiter Services Modernize Demand Planner Recruiting
At On The Hook Recruiting, our Fractional Recruiter model was designed to provide a better option for employers.
Instead of charging inflated contingency fees, we operate using a flexible hourly recruiting model that allows companies to:
Reduce hiring costs
Scale recruiting support as needed
Improve hiring transparency
Access specialized recruiting expertise
Avoid excessive agency fees
For this client, the result was simple:
One successful hire and $12,400 saved
That’s the advantage of a recruiting partnership focused on efficiency instead of maximizing placement fees.
