Why does this method work so well?
Our research has shown time and time again that by working together as an in-house partner, everyone wins.
"We started offering this service because the recruiting system is broken if you do not have in-house talent managers to hire. Partnering up with a recruiting company that understands your company's culture and growth needs, creates continuity right when a candidate walks through your virtual door." - Aimee Marcelo, Founder of Ascend 5
Results include:
✓We send you high-quality talent in a pinch when needed.
✓We know your company, culture, and your roles inside and out because we have worked with you continuously so you can plug us in where needed.
✓ We can scale you up faster from this affordable staffing model.
✓You won't be inundated by multiple recruiters since we'll be your main point of contact (POC) for staffing.
✓You'll have more energy and momentum to focus on other important goals to move your company forward.
We use our Candidate Value Scope™ Matrix with each client to ensure your top needs are aligned with what they offer.
Sometimes quality candidates have up-to-date resumes and LinkedIn profiles, while others do not. We meet virtually with hiring managers to get an exact "wish list" to target candidates more accurately (leadership and/or technical abilities, track record, years of experience, etc.). By taking the time to screen candidates with this method, we send you a document that states exactly how they align with your needs.
This allows us to market for your exact talent and eliminate wasting time with candidates that do not meet your "must-have" criteria.

"This method of partnering up as a 'primary' recruiter for the company gets far more traction, eliminates the confusion, and gives us options as to whether we want to hire a recruiter to handle it or just have a funnel set up where we interviewed the screened candidates. Either way, we are saving $5K-$20K per candidate-more if we just go with the funnel."- Matthew Fox, Energy Fox Group in Colorado
