Case Study: 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
