Managed Recruiting
A dedicated team runs your requisitions day to day.
Why hiring breaks down
Your team is stretched across a list of jobs that doesn't shrink just because hiring picks up. Maybe you've already tried an agency, and the moment someone starts, they move on to the next client. So let's address the elephant in the room: your team keeps their jobs.
Recruitment process outsourcing, done right, isn't a handoff. It's an outside team working hand in hand with yours, inside your systems, under your brand, as bandwidth you plug in when you need more. Here's how that actually plays out against building it yourself or hiring an agency.
How we run it
We cover the full spectrum, but you don't have to hand over all of it. Keep workforce planning in-house. Plug us in for sourcing, screening, or just the offer conversation, wherever the gap actually is.
01
We sit with the hiring manager and get the role right before anyone sources against it.
02
We look at supply and demand and competitor compensation, then design a strategy to help you win.
03
Our recruiters learn your language and culture, then hunt through direct approach, referrals, and silver-medal candidates.
04
We screen against the scorecard the hiring manager signed off on, not gut feel.
05
We hold the calendar and chase feedback so candidates stay warm while your panel finds a slot.
06
We keep candidates warm, then run the offer conversation with you.
07
The hire you paid for becomes a hire who stays. We carry them through their first weeks.
Three ways to solve this
Build the team yourself, hand it to a staffing agency, or bring in NXTThing. Here's how the three actually compare once you're a few months in.
| Comparison criteria | Internal team | Staffing agency | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who's accountable when it slips | You, stretched across everything else on your plate | Nobody, once the invoice clears | We are, for the life of the engagement |
| Speed to fill | Limited by your own headcount | Fast for one role, no faster for ten | A team to scale up quickly |
| Cost model | Fixed salary and overhead either way | A placement fee per hire | Flexes up or down with volume |
| Employer brand | Yours, but stretched thin | Diluted across their whole client roster | Yours. We work inside it |
| After the hire starts | You manage the ramp yourself | The relationship ends | We carry it through onboarding |

The questions buyers actually ask, answered straight
Recruitment process outsourcing means an external partner manages agreed parts of your hiring process. That can range from a specific recruiting function to a broader program, supported by experienced recruiters, technology and analytics. The scope is designed around your hiring needs and can change as those needs evolve.
On-demand staffing adds recruiting capacity for a defined period rather than permanently. It suits a hiring burst such as a new site, a funding round or a seasonal ramp. You get named recruiters working as part of your team for the length of the need, then the capacity comes back down.
