At Lincoln Search Consultants (LSC), we understand that not every search calls for a large placement fee. That’s why we created Recruiting On-Demand — a flexible, hourly recruiting service that delivers expert support where you need it, without the cost of a traditional contingent or retained model.
With more than 15 years in business and a team of recruiters averaging 25+ years of experience, we bring the same trusted expertise you’d expect from a Forbes-recognized recruiting firm — but on your terms, at your pace, and within your budget.
How It Works
Recruiting On-Demand gives you access to seasoned recruiters who act as an extension of your team. You select only the services you need, and we bill by the hour. Our team can support every stage of the hiring process, including:
- Collaborating with your hiring managers to define the role and craft an effective job profile
- Writing engaging job postings and placing them on approved job boards
- Presenting market-based compensation benchmarks
- Using advanced sourcing tools and databases to identify passive candidates
- Screening resumes and completing candidate phone screens with written summaries
- Coordinating interviews — scheduling, advising, and following up
- Facilitating candidate communication and engagement to maintain momentum
- Supporting assessments, reference checks, and background verification
- Assisting with offer letter preparation and onboarding plans
With Recruiting On-Demand, you get the same trusted LSC expertise but in a flexible model that adapts to your hiring pace and budget.
Why Choose This Model?
- Lower cost: On average, Recruiting On-Demand is up to 60% less expensive than traditional contingent search fees.
- Transparency: You receive detailed reporting of hours and recruiting activities.
- Flexibility: Scale services up or down depending on the urgency of your hiring needs.
- Trusted expertise: Access to recruiters with decades of proven search success across Accounting, Finance, HR, Administrative, IT, and Supply Chain.
When It Makes Sense
Recruiting On-Demand is especially valuable for small and growing businesses that need great talent but can’t afford the $25K–$35K fees common in contingent and retained search. This model delivers professional recruiting support at a fraction of the cost, without sacrificing quality.
It’s the right choice if your organization:
- Wants a cost-controlled alternative to traditional search fees
- Needs help filling a single role or a handful of positions
- Is a small or mid-sized business balancing growth with budget discipline
- Has an HR team that needs extra bandwidth for sourcing and screening support
With Recruiting On-Demand, you only pay for the hours worked, making it both affordable and scalable — a smarter way to hire when every dollar counts.
