Frequently Asked Questions About Talent Outsourcing & Talent Acquisition in Columbus, OH
What is Talent Outsourcing?
Talent outsourcing gives you on-demand, professional talent acquisition without hiring a full-time recruiter. You get an embedded partner who manages talent sourcing, screening, and interview ops, scaling up or down as hiring needs change.
How is Talent Outsourcing different from a recruiting agency?
Traditional Agencies typically charge a percentage of annual salary per hire. Corel runs on a transparent, flat-rate, monthly tiered model and embeds like an in-house team, improving quality, speed, and candidate experience, without commission pressure.
What’s the difference between talent acquisition and recruitment?
Recruitment fills open roles. Talent acquisition is broader: workforce planning, talent pipelines, employer branding, and long-term strategy so you’re not starting from scratch with every requisition.
Who is Talent Outsourcing best for?
Small to mid-sized companies (often 10–500 employees) that need consistent pipelines, have multiple roles to fill, or want to offload interview scheduling and screening so hiring managers can focus on the business.
Can Corel help with payroll and HR too?
Yes. In addition to Talent outsourcing, we offer payroll administration and HR Outsourcing services so your people operations stay seamless from hire to the entire life cycle. We also provide strategy and leadership support and tech solutions in our upcoming platform, CorePay.
How much does Talent Outsourcing cost?
Pricing depends on your the number of roles you are hiring for. You receive everything in Tier 1 as you do in Tier 5, making our solutions scalable and to go up and down, pause or resume, as-needed.
Is Corel Consulting based in Ohio or do you serve clients nationwide?
We’re headquartered in Ohio but serve clients across the U.S. Our team spans multiple time zones, making it easy to support businesses wherever they’re located. We bring state-by-state compliance expertise to every partnership.
Why choose Corel over a recruiting or executive search firm?
Executive search firms can be helpful, but they’re often rigid or impersonal. Corel combines a real partnership, with care and strategy of real humans. We don’t just provide cold resume and hope it sticks; we provide partnership, expertise, and proactive communication.
What makes Corel different from other HR companies?
We’re not corporate or cookie-cutter. Corel was built by a founder who believes HR should be human, flexible, and accessible. Our consultants work like part of your team and are genuinely invested in your success.
