We created the recruiting firm we wish we had when we were in-house.

Fractional Recruiting

  • You’ll get dedicated, full-cycle recruiting support for a fraction of the cost.

    We will lead all your talent acquisition efforts and help with all your open jobs which includes:

    • Partner directly with hiring managers to write job postings and create hiring plans for all your jobs

    • Manage your company’s applicant tracking system, keeping it tidy & up to date

    • Review and conduct phone screens with all inbound applicants & referrals for all your open jobs

    • Source and reach out to passive talent (those who don’t know you’re hiring) to increase your talent pool

    • Narrow down the list so your team is only speaking to fully qualified candidates

    • Manage all candidate communication and scheduling interviews with your hiring team

  • You’ll get expert advice helping you craft job postings, hiring plans and interview prep so your team can show up to interviews knowing exactly what to do.

    We’ll save your team loads of time by allowing your internal team to focus on their main responsibilities instead of trying to “fit in recruiting.” They won’t feel rushed to make hiring decisions and will have fully vetted candidates before making an offer.

    Our model offers flexibility to change your mind on the jobs you need to fill. Let’s face it, in a scaling company the needs aren’t always clear until you start meeting with people.

    You will have the support needed without the long term commitment of a full time recruiter.

    You get to leverage our recruiting tech stack (and expertise) to reach top talent. We already have the all.

    • LinkedIn recruiter licenses

    • Email finding tools to actually reach the talent you want

    • Email campaign tools to automate the recruitment process and get through to top talent

    • AI Sourcing tools to find those hard to find people

    A great recruiting process enhances your employer brand. You’ll have a team of experts ensuring candidates have a great experience with your company, even if they don’t get the job.

  • You’ll pay a monthly recruiting fee that covers all the work needed to manage inbound applicant flow.

    • Posting jobs

    • Reviewing applications

    • Conducting initial interviews

    • Scheduling interviews with your team

    • Managing the candidate experience

    For the jobs that are not generating the right inbound applicants, we'll go out and find candidates for an additional fill fee.

  • This is ideal for companies who need to hire at least 5 people within the next 3 - 9 months and those that are not ready to make a long term recruiting hire, but want the support as if they did.

    Ideally, we’re brought in to supplement a team with at least one dedicated HR (or Operations person handling HR).

    We’re not the right fit for high volume non-exempt hiring.

Only need help with one job?

  • We'll craft the job posting, screen all applicants, reach out to passive talent, fully screen and vet high quality applicants so you only talk to those that are qualified.

    We’ll manage the candidate experience all the way through from initially outreach to offer.

  • Most recruiters charge fees based on the compensation of the person hired (typically 20-30%). We hate that.

    We charge a flat fee based on the amount of resources needed to fill the role. The job market changes from year to year, making some roles more challenging to fill than others. Some industries are more challenging as well.

    Our fees are based on role level, market data, and role specialization. Typically, the more senior and specialized the role, the smaller the candidate pool is and the harder it is to find the perfect candidate.

Nick Benz, President - Caliwater

“People Principles are not your typical recruiters. They work hard to be a seamless extension of your team, only finding candidates that are truly fits for your business. I have used them on 4 different searches already, and have been equally pleased each time. Highly recommend them for your recruiting needs!”

Bobbie Turco, President - Outstanding Foods

“One of the biggest challenges of being a start up is the limited resources available as you scale especially when it comes to hiring and human resources. People Principles eliminated that challenge and helped to fill several roles with highly qualified candidates. They were able to find, screen and pass on candidates that were the perfect fit for our business.”

Jen Purcell, President - Avaline Wine

“Jackie helped us to build out our HR function from scratch shortly after launching the company and was an absolute pleasure to work with! She is a true professional in every way and excels at managing the different personalities that exist across our executive team. She is also a superstar recruiter who helped us implement Greenhouse, design interview plans, and train inexperienced hiring managers all while finding us top-level talent in one of the toughest hiring markets I have ever seen. I would highly recommend Jackie to any company, large or small, for HR and / or recruiting help!”

Kalle Simpson, CEO - Discover Night

“We hired People Principles for a one off recruiting need & 7 months later, they have become a vital part of our leadership team. If you are  struggling to find the right people or humanly exit from some of the wrong people, wondering what is needed to scale (i.e: a system or a hire, internal or external), and/or how you can level yourself up as a boss/leader then I can promise you that you’ll find value in these services. I’ve been told often that my expectations in business partnerships are too high or that I am difficult to work with – they exceed my expectations daily. They’ve taken on the most frustrating parts of my business & turned momentum around. If I could go back to day 1 of my entrepreneur journey and give myself one piece of advice, it would be to not start hiring until I find a People Principles.”
