Subscription-based recruitment, RSS or embedded recruitment

Recruitment is essential for every business, yet effective hiring demands skill, experience, time, and strong organizational management to ensure success. This circumstance prompts many companies to outstaff this process, resorting to the help of a professional recruitment agency.

A hallmark of every growing business is continuous team expansion. Thus, subscription-based recruitment becomes an efficient, cost-effective solution for ongoing hiring needs.

What is subscription-based recruitment?

Subscription-based recruitment, which is also called RSS, or, in other words, embedded recruitment, is a growing outstaffing model: subscription recruiting replaces traditional recruiting through ongoing support rather than one-off work from agencies.

This model implies a fixed monthly fee through a monthly subscription, giving companies predictable costs with no high placement fees. Within this period, the recruitment agency's hiring team is completely at the disposal of the company possessing the subscription. Recruiters in this model operate as an extension of the internal HR team, and a dedicated recruiter learns your company culture and role requirements. Plus, the team works exclusively on hiring employees for this company, regardless of the number of hirings made in a month. Unlike this subscription based recruiting model, traditional recruiting providers or agencies often charge 20–30% of a candidate's salary per hire.

What does the subscription recruitment service include and how does subscription recruiting pricing work?

A subscription based recruitment service supplies companies with a range of options and ongoing recruiting support for recurring hiring needs:

• quick start after contract signing;
• predictable monthly fee that helps control the hiring budget instead of paying a one-off placement cost;
• a dedicated team of sourcers and recruiters that supports hiring managers and managers as part of a broader talent acquisition function;
• the service can scale for multiple roles or more roles, and companies can upgrade or downgrade the plan monthly;
• unlimited number of hired candidates;
• guaranteed closing of any IT position, technical, non-technical, or C-level;
• a few-month guarantee for the closed position;
• direct access to all the project files;
• support with interviews, including scheduling and candidate communication across the process;
• companies can often expect qualified candidates within 1–2 weeks.

What are the main advantages of embedded recruitment for hiring managers?

There are several obvious advantages to embedded recruitment:

• First of all, subscription recruitment allows companies to save up to 50% on the costs of recruiting agency services compared to the traditional pay-per-hire model and up to 90% compared to the in-house recruitment model, because subscription models save money by replacing per-hire placement charges and avoiding surprise invoices. Subscription models eliminate unexpected recruiting expenses and budget spikes.
• In addition, this model provides the company with a high degree of recruitment flexibility, which works well for scaling companies, small businesses, and firms with steady hiring or year-round demand across a growing workforce, without being tied to a specific number of hirings per period. As demand changes, companies can fill different positions, including sales roles, while maintaining continuous recruiting support.
• Finally, the recruitment subscription service lets companies directly control and, if necessary, adjust the entire recruiting process from start to finish, improving the broader recruiting process through ongoing search activity that helps surface great talent. This level of support is especially valuable when speed and role quality matter in a competitive industry.
