— What is Recruitment as a Service (RaaS)?
Hiring on subscription,
Not on commission.
Recruitment as a Service (RaaS) is a fundamentally different way to pay for recruitment. Instead of a large upfront placement fee every time you make a hire, you pay a portion at the start of the engagement and spread the remainder across 12 monthly instalments.
That changes the dynamic entirely. We're not incentivised to push a hire through and move on — we're invested in the outcome for the full year. If a hire leaves during the payment period, instalments pause until we deliver a replacement. No renegotiation, no additional fee.
For Series A–C SaaS companies building a GTM function, it means predictable hiring costs, a dedicated recruiter who operates as an extension of your team, and a model that flexes with your headcount plan — up or down — without locking you into a bloated TA structure you don't yet need.

— WHO IT’S FOR
Built for
companies hiring consistently.
RaaS works best when recruitment is an ongoing function rather than a one-off event. If you're making multiple GTM hires over a 6–18 month period and want predictable costs, a recruiter who genuinely knows your business, and protection if a hire doesn't stick — this is the model.
Series A — Building the GTM foundation
You've raised and now you need to hire fast without overpaying on placement fees for every role. RaaS gives you a dedicated recruiter from day one, spreading the cost across the year rather than hitting your budget in one go per hire.
Series B — Scaling a proven motion
You're running concurrent searches across sales, marketing, and RevOps. A RaaS engagement means one recruiter who understands the full commercial org, not three separate agency briefs with three separate fees
Series C — Enterprise and new geographies
Your GTM org is established and you're hiring to scale it. RaaS gives you the dedicated resource and the commercial model to keep hiring consistently without the overhead of an internal TA team.

Weekly steering calls
You're never in the dark. Regular pipeline updates, honest feedback on role positioning, and market intelligence on what candidates are hearing from other companies in your space.
04
Qualified shortlist

05
Offer management and onboarding

— PRICING
Simple.
Scalable.
A portion of the fee is paid at the start of the engagement. The remainder is spread evenly across 12 monthly instalments — making recruitment costs predictable and proportionate to your growth.

Everything

to know.
-
Recruitment as a Service is a subscription-based hiring model where a dedicated recruiter works as part of your team for an agreed engagement period. Instead of paying a large placement fee per hire, the fee is split — a portion upfront, the remainder spread across 12 monthly instalments. It gives high-growth SaaS companies a predictable, scalable approach to GTM hiring without the cost of building an internal TA function.
-
The core difference is the commercial structure. RaaS is built around a 12-month fee model — predictable monthly payments with built-in protection if a hire leaves mid-term. Embedded Recruitment is a more operationally intensive model where a recruiter is fully integrated into your team for the duration of an engagement, focused on building and scaling a GTM function at pace. We'll help you identify the right model on the discovery call.
-
For RaaS engagements, we typically deliver a first shortlist within 10–15 working days of the briefing call. We provide weekly pipeline updates throughout so you always know where each search stands.
-

-
Monthly instalments pause immediately and we begin sourcing a replacement at no additional cost. We don't move on to the next client — your role stays our priority until it's filled again.
-
