Sourcing Support for Recruiting Agencies

Most boutique recruiters do their best work with clients: landing the search, managing the hiring manager and closing the offer. Sourcing is the part that takes the most hours. HireTalent RPO works as your sourcing team. We map the market, reach passive candidates directly, screen them and hand you the ones worth presenting. You keep the client relationship. We've been sourcing candidates directly since 1999.
What We Handle
Market mapping: target companies, competitors and the titles that match your role
Direct outreach: we contact passive candidates one by one, not job board applicants
Screening: a phone conversation with every candidate to confirm interest, fit, compensation and location
Candidate write-ups: short notes on each candidate, ready for you to present
Pipeline updates: regular updates so you always know where the search stands
Need sourcing only? We can hand off names and contact details without screening, or source and screen. You choose.
Searches We Support
C-level and executive: senior leadership searches that need a quiet, direct approach
Sales and SaaS: account executives, sales managers and sales leaders, including SaaS, AI and HR tech
Construction: project managers, superintendents and field leadership
Legal: attorneys and support staff in personal injury, family, employment, workers' comp and real estate law
Medical and dental: clinical, operations and sales roles, including DSOs
Manufacturing: operations, production and sales roles
Hospitality: management and operations roles
CDL drivers: CDL-A and CDL-B drivers, including high-volume hiring
How It Works
1. Intake call. We learn the role, the client and what a strong candidate looks like.
2. Search plan. We build the target company list and confirm it with you.
3. Outreach. We contact candidates directly. Most aren't looking, so this is where the work is.
4. Screening. We talk with each candidate before you see them.
5. Handoff. You get the top 2–4 qualified candidates at a time, with notes. Most searches see their first qualified candidates within 7–10 business days.
6. Until it's filled. We keep sourcing until your client makes a hire.
Ways to Work Together
Every agency works differently, so we offer a few options: a placement fee split on the searches we support, a project fee per search, or a monthly sourcing plan for agencies with steady search volume. We'll recommend the one that fits your search on our first call.

No. You own the client relationship. We work with you and only you.
Can you just source, without screening?
Yes. We offer sourcing only, or sourcing plus screening.
How fast will I see candidates?
Most searches see their first qualified candidates within 7–10 business days.
What kinds of searches do you take on?
C-level, sales and SaaS, construction, legal, medical and dental, manufacturing, hospitality and CDL drivers. If your search is outside those, ask. We source by competitor, title and market, so the approach carries across industries.
