Pure lowest-cost sourcing only
If the only priority is minimizing fee percentage with no process or quality requirements, other options may align better.
The right choice depends on context. This table is designed to help teams self-qualify honestly.
| Criteria | Hiregenyx | Big staffing firm | In-house recruiter only | Job board only |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proposal + hiring alignment | Integrated support across proposal and staffing workflows. | Usually staffing only. | Strong internal context but limited proposal support. | No execution alignment support. |
| Execution ownership | Clear ownership from intake through close. | Variable by account team and requisition load. | High ownership, limited by internal bandwidth. | Ownership stays entirely with your internal team. |
| Speed to calibrated shortlist | Typically first shortlist in 5 business days. | Can be fast but often inconsistent quality. | Strong quality, speed depends on team capacity. | High applicant volume, low pre-qualification. |
| Transparency and reporting | Structured cadence with role-level clarity. | Depends on vendor process maturity. | Strong internal visibility when ops are mature. | Tool metrics only, no delivery accountability. |
If the only priority is minimizing fee percentage with no process or quality requirements, other options may align better.
We need responsive calibration and interview feedback loops. Without that, no partner can sustain quality.
Our model depends on clear visibility into conversion and process friction. Teams wanting opaque execution may prefer other models.
