Fractional recruiting gives you the power of an embedded, experienced recruiter — working inside your company, on your processes, at a fraction of a full-time hire. Scale up when hiring spikes. Scale back when it slows.
Get Started Today →A fractional recruiter from Gratus Group embeds directly into your organization — attending your meetings, using your ATS, and working as a true member of your team — without the $80K–$120K fully loaded cost of a full-time hire.
Engage for 10, 20, or 40 hours per week — exactly matched to your current hiring volume. Scale up during growth sprints, scale back in quieter periods.
Your fractional recruiter attends intake calls, uses your tools, builds your talent pipeline, and reports to your hiring managers — just like an internal team member.
Our fractional recruiters bring 10+ years of experience across technical and professional hiring. You get expertise without the seniority premium of a full-time hire.
Rapid headcount growth has overwhelmed your HR team or hiring managers. You need dedicated recruiting support now — not after a 90-day search for a full-time recruiter.
Smaller companies and startups often can't justify a full-time recruiting hire. A fractional recruiter gives you the infrastructure without the full-time commitment.
At 20-25% per placement, agency fees add up fast. A fractional recruiter at a flat monthly rate can pay for itself with just 1-2 hires.
If you're consistently hiring 2-5+ roles per quarter, fractional recruiting is more cost-effective than paying per-placement fees on every hire.
We work with your hiring managers to craft accurate, compelling job descriptions that attract the right candidates and set clear expectations.
Active sourcing across LinkedIn, job boards, and our existing networks — plus AI-assisted screening to identify the strongest candidates fast.
Phone screens, compensation validation, culture fit assessment, and reference checks — so only qualified candidates reach your hiring managers.
Scheduling, candidate prep, feedback collection, and debrief facilitation — keeping your pipeline moving without burdening your team.
Offer structuring, negotiation guidance, and closing support to maximize your acceptance rate and reduce drop-off at the finish line.
Weekly pipeline reporting, time-to-fill tracking, and candidate quality metrics — full visibility into your recruiting funnel at all times.
Per-placement fee on base salary. $100K hire = $20K–$25K fee. Every single time. No pipeline ownership, no institutional knowledge retained.
Predictable monthly fee. Build your pipeline. Own your process. Make 5 hires this month — pay the same rate as when you make 1. ROI compounds.
Fully loaded annual cost. Benefits, payroll taxes, tools, training. A fixed cost even when hiring slows — plus months to find and onboard the right person.
Let's talk about your hiring needs — volume, roles, timeline. We'll put together a fractional engagement that fits your team and your budget.
