This is different from our per-hire marketplace: instead of buying one placement, you get a dedicated recruiter running your hiring pipeline across multiple roles, billed as a flat monthly retainer.

  • 50–80% average savings vs. contingency/traditional agency fees
  • 48–72 hours to recruiter deployment
  • 6–10 open roles worked simultaneously per recruiter
  • $0 per-hire fees, ever

What is Recruiting as a Service?

Recruiting as a Service (RaaS) embeds a dedicated recruiter directly into your team for a flat monthly fee, instead of charging per hire. The recruiter works exclusively on your open roles — sourcing, screening, and coordinating interviews — the way an in-house recruiter would, without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Why RaaS

Recruiting capacity, without the per-hire bill

Cost doesn't scale with every hire

One flat monthly fee covers the whole pipeline — better value than per-hire billing for teams hiring several roles at once.

Exclusively yours, embedded

Your recruiter works inside your workflow, tools and ATS — not split across a dozen client accounts like a traditional agency desk.

Full-cycle, not resume delivery

Sourcing, screening, interview coordination and shortlisting — the work an in-house recruiter does, without the headcount.

Two tiers

Start with one recruiter — scale to a team

Starter — Dedicated Recruiter

For companies with steady hiring needs who want a dedicated recruiter without full-time internal headcount.

  • 1 dedicated, fully embedded recruiter
  • 6–10 open roles worked simultaneously
  • Full sourcing, screening & shortlisting
  • Interview scheduling & coordination
  • ATS integration
  • Monthly performance reporting
  • Month-to-month, no long-term commitment

Growth — Embedded Recruiting Team

For high-growth companies scaling multiple teams simultaneously. Everything in Starter, plus:

  • 2+ dedicated recruiters on your account
  • Executive & leadership search included
  • Compensation benchmarking & offer strategy
  • Dedicated account director
  • Weekly pipeline reviews
  • Priority access to passive candidate network

Every engagement is sized to your hiring volume and role mix. Most clients receive a custom proposal within 24 hours.

Which model

When to use RaaS vs. the per-hire marketplace

Use Recruiting as a Service when…

  • You have multiple open roles at once.
  • Your hiring volume is ongoing or unpredictable.
  • You want a recruiter embedded in your process long-term.

Use the per-hire marketplace when…

  • You know exactly which skill or role you need to fill.
  • You want to browse and select talent directly.
  • You need a single specialized hire.
Browse the marketplace

Both can run together — RaaS for your ongoing hiring, plus the per-hire marketplace for a one-off specialist placement such as a Forward Deployed Engineer.

FAQ

Recruiting as a Service, answered

What is Recruiting as a Service?

Recruiting as a Service (RaaS) embeds a dedicated recruiter directly into your team for a flat monthly fee, instead of charging per hire. The recruiter works exclusively on your open roles — sourcing, screening, and coordinating interviews — the way an in-house recruiter would, without the overhead of a full-time hire.

How is RaaS different from TalentStores' per-hire marketplace?

Our per-hire marketplace is for filling one specific role with vetted talent at a flat hourly rate. RaaS is for companies with multiple or ongoing open roles who want a dedicated recruiter running their hiring pipeline continuously, billed as a flat monthly fee rather than per placement.

How much does Recruiting as a Service cost?

RaaS pricing is sized to your hiring volume, role seniority, and markets, since needs vary widely between a single embedded recruiter and a multi-recruiter team. Most clients receive a custom proposal within 24 hours of a consultation.

How fast can a recruiter be deployed?

Your dedicated recruiter is deployed within 48-72 hours of kickoff.

Can I scale from Starter to Growth later?

Yes — RaaS is month-to-month, so you can add recruiters or move to the Growth tier as your hiring volume increases, without a long-term contract.
