Hiring specialized technical talent can be difficult. It can also get expensive quickly when every successful hire comes with a traditional recruiting agency fee.
Recently, On The Hook Recruiting filled an Android Engineer position for one of our technology manufacturing clients using our Fractional Recruiter service.
The result?
Compared to a 25% agency fee, our client saved $23,000.
Even compared to a 20% recruiting fee, they still saved $16,500 on a single hire.
A Fractional Recruiter Is More Than a One-Time Search
What makes this success story especially important isn't just the savings.
We've partnered with this client for several years, helping them recruit for a variety of difficult technical and engineering positions.
Specialized Roles We've Helped Them Fill
Our partnership has included searches for:
Android Engineer
Embedded Engineering Lead
Senior Electrical Engineer
Lead Mechanical Engineer
Embedded & IoT Engineer
Senior AMI Cloud Engineer
And many more
Because we're an ongoing Fractional Recruiter, we don't have to start from scratch every time a new position opens.
We already understand the company, its culture, its hiring needs, and the types of candidates who can succeed there. Each successful search strengthens that knowledge and makes the recruiting partnership more valuable.
Lower Recruiting Costs. Long-Term Partnership.
Traditional staffing agencies commonly charge a percentage of the candidate's first-year salary for every placement.
Our Fractional Recruiter model works differently. Clients pay for the recruiting work being performed, allowing an efficient search to translate directly into savings.
For this Android Engineer hire, that difference meant saving as much as $23,000 compared to a traditional agency fee.
But the bigger value comes from what happens next.
Instead of:
Position → Placement → Fee → Start Over
We're building:
Partnership → Multiple Hires → Deeper Knowledge → Continued Support
That's what Fractional Recruiting is designed to do.
