FAQ
You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers –
FOR COMPANIES
Are you an employment agency or recruiter?
Red Seat is neither. Like employment agencies and recruiters, we help businesses hire people. But unlike agencies and recruiters, Red Seat's hiring experts partner with the hiring company, fulfilling some of the same roles that an in-house human resources professional might. We take care of every stage of the hiring process, from generating leads and vetting candidates to conducting assessments and completing background checks.
Some think recruiters are only concerned with filling a vacancy quickly. Red Seat is different. Because we’re not recruiters, we’re able to focus on what really matters, and that’s finding and hiring the best possible candidate for the job.
What about pricing and fees?
This is another way we differ from employment agencies and recruiters. Our fees are competitive, even though we offer much more comprehensive services than traditional headhunters and recruiters! Red Seat offers Retained Recruiting options at 22 - 30% of compensation, and monthly subscription options at a lower rate.
What kind of businesses do you work for?
Red Seat typically works for small to medium-sized companies that either: a) do not employ a full-time HR professional, or b) simply do not have the HR capacity to devote adequate attention to finding and landing the right people. We work closely with our clients to ensure that the candidates we find will be a great fit for their businesses.
Our personalized hiring process saves our clients time and money, keeps clients in control of the outcome, and enables them to make the right hire with much less hassle. Check out our case studies to learn more about some of the specific positions we've filled.
How can your recruiting solutions address our unique staffing needs?
Every company has a unique work culture which requires hiring employees who will be a good fit for that culture. At Red Seat, we understand this all too well, and our outsourced recruiting solutions aren't designed as a one-size-fits-all service but as a strategic partnership aimed at understanding and fulfilling your business's specific staffing needs.
One of the primary ways that Red Seat's recruiting solutions can cater to your unique needs is through our personalized approach. Our dedicated team of recruiting experts takes the time to understand your company's nuances so that we can deliver candidates who possess the skills you need and will be a good fit for your company ethos.
Flexibility is another key benefit of our fractional recruiting solutions. We recognize that staffing needs can vary greatly based on industry, business cycles, and project requirements. Our adaptable approach to recruiting allows us to scale our services up or down according to your demand, providing you with a customized and cost-effective solution for your current staffing needs. Red Seat's monthly fractional recruiting program will allow you to engage with us on an as-needed basis at a lower cost per hire.
Finally, our technology-driven recruitment strategies allow for peak efficiency and accuracy in the candidate selection process.

How can your recruiting services benefit my company's hiring process?
It's important for companies in all industries to be able to hire hard-working employees who are a good fit for their unique work culture. Recruiting the right staff can be a challenge in today's competitive job market, and that's where outsourced recruiting services can be a huge benefit.
One of the key advantages of outsourcing recruiting services is that they provide your business with access to a vast pool of talent. Specialized fractional recruiting firms like Red Seat have extensive networks and resources dedicated to identifying and engaging with qualified candidates. With help from our hiring experts, your company can tap into a broader range of potential hires and find employees who will be a perfect fit for your open positions.
Red Seat's subscription-based recruiting services are also designed to expedite the hiring process. Our recruiting staff can create job ads, screen candidates, perform background checks on applicants, and schedule confirmed interviews with candidates. This recruitment process will allow your company to fill crucial positions faster, which minimizes the negative impact of vacant roles on your business's productivity and your bottom line.
Hiring an outsourced recruiting firm will also allow your hiring managers to concentrate on strategic initiatives and employee development instead of devoting a bulk of their time to hiring new staff. The expertise of recruiting professionals enables us to identify candidates who possess the required skills and ideal personality for your company culture, which in turn leads to higher employee satisfaction and retention rates.

Why should our company choose your specialized recruiting services over traditional hiring methods?
Finding the right talent is critical to running a successful business, but traditional hiring methods often fall short in meeting the demands of specialized roles and niche industries. Specialized fractional recruiting offers a unique approach to hiring that goes beyond the limitations of conventional hiring practices.
At Red Seat, we understand the unique challenges that businesses face in sourcing top-tier talent for specialized roles. Here's why our fractional recruiting services are the right choice for your company:
Our recruiting team is made up of industry experts with in-depth knowledge and networks within specific sectors. Whether you operate in technology, healthcare, finance, or any other industry, we can find candidates who possess the skills and experience necessary to be an asset to your business.
Traditional hiring methods often rely on local talent pools, limiting your options and potentially overlooking qualified candidates beyond your immediate scope. With our outsourced recruiting services, you gain access to a passive talent network. Our experts use advanced sourcing techniques and cutting-edge technology to identify candidates who we believe will be a perfect fit for your company's needs.
Our fractional recruiting services are designed to streamline the recruitment process, saving you time and money. From the initial candidate search to an accepted offer, we handle every step with precision, providing a seamless experience for both you and the candidates you're considering.
Unlike traditional hiring methods that often prioritize quantity over quality, we prioritize finding candidates who both possess all the requisite skills for your open position and seem like an ideal fit for your company culture and values. By focusing on both quality and fit, we can help you build a high-performing, success-driven team.
