Small Teams. Big Hiring Goals.

Lean teams still face big recruiting pressure. When hiring is reactive, expensive, or slow, growth stalls. Here’s how smart small businesses save time, money, and energy by changing how they recruit.

Bandwidth

Leaders spend an average of 15–20 hours per week on recruiting when they don’t have help. Streamlining that workload can return nearly 200 hours of productive time each quarter.

Budget

Traditional recruiting agencies charge 25–35% per hire. A fractional or embedded approach can cut that to 8–12% on average, leading to a 60% savings per role filled.

Know-How

Experienced recruiters reduce time-to-hire by 35–50%. That means filling roles in 25–30 days instead of the industry average of 45–60.

Direction

Companies with a defined hiring roadmap outperform peers by 2.5x in offer acceptance rates and cut bad hires by nearly 40%.

Systems

Automating sourcing, screening, and scheduling can save 30–40% of total recruiting time and reduce missed candidate responses by up to 70%.
