Proactive Talent’s On-Demand Recruiting offers a variety of benefits that make it the preferred choice for companies needing scalable, flexible recruiting solutions:
1. Scalability
Easily scale your recruiting resources up or down to meet current hiring demands. With ODR, there are no long-term commitments—just on-demand access to the recruitment support you need.
2. Cost-Effectiveness
On-Demand Recruiting typically costs 20-50% less than traditional contingency recruiting or executive search fees. You only pay for the recruiter’s time spent working on your roles, making this model far more budget-friendly for recruitment leaders managing cost constraints.
3. Dedicated Recruiting Support
You’ll have a dedicated team of expert recruiters who are fully integrated with your internal team and work exclusively on your open positions. They come armed with advanced sourcing tools, market insights, and deep industry expertise, ensuring high-quality candidates and a smooth hiring process.
4. Transparent Process and Reporting
Unlike traditional search firms, Proactive Talent offers weekly status reports and real-time insights into recruiter activity, providing full transparency and accountability throughout the project. HR and recruitment leaders can make data-driven decisions based on real-time candidate metrics and recruiter performance.
5. Quality-Focused Recruiting
We prioritize quality over quantity, taking the time to thoroughly assess each candidate to ensure they are an ideal fit for your organization’s culture and role requirements. Our focus is on long-term retention, not just filling positions.

At Proactive Talent, our On-Demand Recruiting approach is designed for seamless integration into your internal team. We work closely with HR leaders, recruitment managers, and hiring stakeholders to align our recruiting efforts with your organization’s long-term business goals.
Our Approach
-
We assign an experienced project manager and a team of sourcing recruiters to your project. This team acts as a seamless extension of your in-house recruiting team, using the latest sourcing tools and technologies to build a strong pipeline of candidates for your current and future hiring needs.
-
Our recruiters seamlessly integrate into your existing processes and Applicant Tracking System (ATS) or CRM. We ensure full transparency and compliance, tracking all candidate data and providing detailed reports upon project completion.
-
We take a proactive approach to sourcing, targeting passive candidates in alignment with your hiring needs. Our team handles the entire screening process, ensuring only the most qualified candidates are submitted to your hiring managers.
-
Through weekly meetings, we review progress, adjust strategies based on feedback, and refine our sourcing priorities as needed. This ensures continuous alignment with your hiring goals and maximizes efficiency throughout the recruiting cycle.
Why Choose OnDemand Recruiting?
HR and recruitment leaders face tough decisions when it comes to choosing between internal salaried recruiters and outsourcing to a scalable recruitment partner. Here’s why Proactive Talent’s On-Demand Recruiting is the better choice for growing organizations:
Internal Salaried Recruiter: Best suited for ongoing, predictable hiring needs in core skill areas, but limited scalability during hiring spikes and high costs (up to $150K annually for experienced recruiters).
On-Demand Recruiting: Ideal for scalable, project-based, or high-volume hiring needs. You gain flexibility to increase or reduce recruiting resources as necessary without paying per hire, and it typically costs 20-50% less than traditional contingency search fees.
