Addressing Recruiting Pain Points.
The Solution: Fractional Recruiting
Jim’s previous experiences with “traditional” recruiters had left him feeling overwhelmed, as they merely sent him stacks of resumes which he then had to vet, interview, hire and onboard. He wanted a more collaborative approach, with a recruiter who could step in and effectively manage the entire process. Someone who was skilled, self-directed, and able to quickly identify not only the ideal candidate but also a good culture fit. That’s when he discovered Fractional Recruiting.
Reasons Why SMBs Choose Fractional Recruiting
- Cost-effectiveness
Fractional recruiting reduces overhead costs associated with hiring a full-time recruiter, provides targeted expertise and offers flexibility in scaling recruitment efforts up or down. Additionally, it can positively impact the bottom line with a faster time-to-hire. - Expertise
Fractional recruiters bring years of experience working with different companies in different industries, giving them valuable insight and knowledge on hiring best practices, candidate selection and talent acquisition strategies. - Flexibility
Services can be adapted to meet the unique needs of any business, whether that means working on a specific project or providing ongoing recruitment support on a part-time basis. - Efficiency
Focusing on recruiting can streamline the hiring process, saving time and resources for the company and instantly adding value to the existing team. - Existing Network
Fractional recruiters have a wide contact network and can identify top talent both quickly and efficiently. They can connect businesses with qualified candidates that may not be accessible through traditional recruitment channels.
A quick search led Jim to Intag Consulting. “Once we connected with Theresia and her team, my employees were able to breathe a huge sigh of relief. We’re a lean, process-driven team, so any gaps can really slow things down. Intag stepped in and acted as an internal partner, managing the entire recruiting process. They vetted job descriptions, scheduled interviews, handled candidate communications and kept our ATS up-to-date, which was invaluable.”
Results Make Growth Possible.
In addition to the recruiting efforts, Connamara underwent a complete HR audit. The company hadn’t prioritized HR in the past, exposing them to risk and vulnerability. Within 3 weeks, Intag analyzed the existing process and delivered a thorough report including actionable recommendations to better protect the company. “The value and insight we gain by working with Intag has been huge”, Jim stated. “Without question, I’d recommend them to anyone in a similar position. They are our go-to place for all things recruiting and HR.”
