Fractional Recruiting for a Tech Scaleup
Recruiting · Tech Growth
Client Type
Fast-growing tech company during a critical hiring phase
Use Case
Covering parental leave while maintaining hiring momentum
Problem
The company’s lead recruiter was going on parental leave with 15+ open roles across engineering, sales, and operations. Leadership needed to keep pipelines moving and offers on track without disrupting candidate experience or overloading hiring managers. They needed someone who could step in quickly, work inside their ATS and Slack workflows, and match their culture and pace.
Solution
We provided fractional recruiting support on a flexible basis, scaling hours as needed. In the first week, we:
- Onboarded into the company’s ATS and Slack workflows
- Met with hiring managers to set priorities and clarify role requirements
- Took over live pipelines and candidate communications without interruption
- Launched new requisitions in partnership with HR and department leads
Operating as an embedded recruiter ensured continuity and a consistent candidate experience.
Result
- Key engineering and sales roles filled on schedule despite the leave
- Maintained candidate experience and hiring manager confidence
- Avoided the cost and ramp time of a traditional agency engagement
- Seamless handoff back to the in-house recruiter with all pipelines updated and documented
