Why it matters

Talent acquisition isn't just about filling open roles.

It's about building stronger, more effective teams that drive long-term success. A strategic approach to talent brings measurable value by aligning hiring with your organizational goals, culture, and growth plans — so every hire moves the business forward, not just fills a seat.

The right people, in the right roles, at the right time.

How the model works

Outsourced talent, built around you

We plug in like an internal recruiting function — without the overhead of one. A simple, transparent flow from first conversation to placed hire.

1

Scope & strategy

We start with your roles, your goals, and your culture — then build a hiring plan and recommend the right engagement tier for where you are.

2

Source & engage

We work like your in-house recruiter: active sourcing, passive-candidate outreach, employer-brand messaging, and a managed pipeline — adding value from day one, before a single hire lands.

3

Vet & present

Candidates are screened for skill and cultural alignment, so you only spend time on people who genuinely fit. You stay in control of every decision.

4

Place & support

We help you close the offer and support a smooth start — then scale our effort up or down as your hiring needs change.

A better candidate experience

Every candidate, treated like your brand matters.

From first outreach to final interview, we represent you the way you'd want to be represented — responsive, respectful, and human. Candidates remember how they were treated, and it shapes whether your top choice says yes.

Whether interviews happen on video or in person, we keep the process moving so great people don't slip away to a faster-moving competitor.

The economics

A full recruiting function — at a fraction of the cost.

A full-time, in-house recruiter is a salary, benefits, tooling, and overhead you carry whether you're hiring one role or ten. Traditional agencies often charge around 20%–40% of first-year salary per placement — and disappear the moment the role is filled.

Corel works differently: a flat monthly subscription that covers multiple roles and the full recruiting function at once. Across the hires we make for you, that typically works out to an effective cost of under 5% per hire — while you get strategy, pipeline, and weekly support the whole way, not just a body when a seat fills.

A subscription covers multiple roles through the full hiring cycle, so you get ongoing value all month — not just an invoice when one seat is filled. Effective per-hire cost varies with hiring volume and roles.

Always-on, never overhead

A dedicated recruiter's focus — without a full-time hire.

Every week, someone is actively working your roles: sourcing, screening, posting, and moving candidates forward. You get the consistency of an in-house recruiter without the salary, benefits, or downtime when hiring slows.

Need to scale up for a busy quarter or pause between sprints? The subscription flexes with you.

How pricing works

Tiered, transparent, and flexible

Every tier includes the exact same full talent scope below — the only difference is how many open requisitions we run at once, based on your volume and needs. It's a flat monthly subscription with a 3-month minimum at any level, so you can work multiple roles through the full hiring cycle, pause or resume, and move up or down as your hiring changes.

Tier 1

Up to 4 open requisitions at a time — ideal for steady, lower-volume hiring.

  • Up to 4 active requisitions
  • Full talent scope included
  • Flat monthly subscription
3-month minimum · sprint or ongoing

Tier 2

Up to 8 open requisitions at once — your embedded recruiting partner for active growth.

  • Up to 8 concurrent requisitions
  • Full talent scope included
  • Lower effective cost per hire as volume grows
3-month minimum · scales up or down

Tier 3

12+ open requisitions — high-volume hiring, plus specialized and executive searches.

  • 12+ concurrent requisitions
  • Full talent scope + entry-to-C-suite reach
  • Best effective economics at scale
3-month minimum · built around your roadmap
Flexible by design.

It's a flat monthly subscription with a 3-month minimum at any tier. Because it covers multiple roles at once, you get the full recruiting function the entire time — and you can move up or down a tier, pause, or resume as your hiring changes. Need something outside the tiers? We also do fully custom engagements.

The cost comparison

What you'd pay an agency vs. what you pay us

A traditional agency charges roughly 20%–40% of first-year salary every time they place someone. Our flat monthly subscription covers multiple roles at once — so across the hires we make, your effective cost typically lands under 5% per hire, and you get the full recruiting function the entire time.

Hiring several roles a month?
The gap compounds fast.

Because the subscription covers multiple concurrent roles, a busy month of hires through a 20%–40% agency could run tens of thousands more than the same hires made through Corel — all while you also get weekly engagement, sourcing, and pipeline management included.

Illustrative examples for comparison only. Salaries are approximate market figures; agency rates vary (commonly 15–25%). Corel's effective per-hire cost depends on your subscription tier, the number of roles, and hiring volume — actual savings will vary. We're happy to model your specific roles on a call.

A hiring team in an engaged discussion
A partner, not a vendor

We work with your team, not around it.

Hiring decisions land best when the people who'll work alongside a new hire are part of the process. We keep your managers in the loop, fold in your interview panels, and adapt to how your team likes to evaluate talent.

You stay in control of every yes. We handle the searching, screening, scheduling, and follow-through so your team can focus on choosing the right person.

Built around your people

Hiring is human. So is how we do it.

Behind every requisition is a real team that has to work well together. We hire for skill and culture fit so the people you bring on strengthen the team you already have.

The value you get

What a strategic talent partner delivers

Talent acquisition isn't just filling roles — it's helping you build stronger teams that drive long-term success.

Strategic alignment

We align hiring efforts with your organizational goals, culture, and growth plans, bringing measurable value so every hire supports where the business is headed — not just the open seat.

Efficiency & reach

We streamline the hiring process, reduce time-to-fill, and open access to a deeper pool of qualified candidates — including those not actively searching — so you stay competitive even in tight labor markets and specialized fields.

Market insight & consultation

Beyond sourcing, you gain guidance on compensation trends, role design, and employer branding to attract and retain top talent — advisory support that's especially critical when you're navigating growth or change.

Quality of hire

By thoroughly vetting candidates for both skill and cultural alignment, we help reduce turnover, improve team cohesion, and support better outcomes for the people and clients you serve.

The bottom line.

An effective talent acquisition strategy positions you for sustainable success — ensuring you have the right people, in the right roles, at the right time.
