Why Aren’t Recruiters Working for Us?

Sometimes the engagement model is the mismatch.

John GaonaFounder · IGY Six Consulting · · 1 min read

What is usually happening

A placement recruiter is designed to fill a role. A fractional recruiter is designed to operate as part of the business and carry ongoing recruiting capacity. If the company has many recurring hiring needs, paying role by role may not solve the underlying capacity problem.

Why it matters as the company grows

That does not mean agencies are bad. It means Direct Placement and a Fractional People Operations + Talent Acquisition engagement solve different problems. Fractional Talent Acquisition remains the recruiting component of that broader fractional service.

What kind of help fits

IGY SIX offers both: targeted Direct Placement for one critical search and Fractional People Operations + Talent Acquisition when recruiting and People work has become ongoing operating work.

Dealing with this in your business right now?
