Finding experienced engineering talent isn't getting any easier. Companies need recruiting partners that can move quickly, provide transparency, and control hiring costs. That's exactly why more employers are turning to Fractional Recruiter services from On The Hook Recruiting.
Engineering Recruiting Without the Traditional Placement Fees
When one of our clients promoted an employee internally, they needed to quickly replace an Application Engineer. The ideal candidate would have a background in Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering, making this a specialized search that required targeted recruiting—not simply posting a job online.
A Customized Fractional Recruiting Strategy
Using our Fractional Recruiter model, we partnered closely with the hiring team to understand the position, company culture, and technical requirements. We proactively sourced qualified engineering professionals, conducted candidate screenings, and kept the client informed throughout every step of the hiring process.
The results:
Two highly qualified finalists
A strong pipeline of additional candidates
$11,250 in recruiting cost savings compared to a traditional 25% placement fee
Building Long-Term Recruiting Partnerships
This wasn't our first successful search for this client. Earlier this year, On The Hook Recruiting filled a position within their Maintenance department, saving the company an additional $11,750 compared to a traditional recruiting firm.
$23,000 Saved in One Year
By partnering with a Fractional Recruiter, this employer has already realized $23,000 in recruiting cost savings while successfully filling critical positions and building a pipeline of qualified talent for future hiring needs.
Why More Employers Are Choosing a Fractional Recruiter
Today's hiring environment requires flexibility, transparency, and smarter recruiting strategies. A Fractional Recruiter provides dedicated recruiting expertise without the high contingency placement fees, giving employers greater control over both their hiring process and recruiting budget.
