HR One Recruiting

A recruiting model built for small businesses

Hiring Frustrations

Recruiting can be frustrating for small organizations because it’s rarely anyone’s only job. Owners and managers are expected to write postings, screen résumés, schedule interviews, and make hiring decisions in addition to running the business. The result is lost time, rising costs, and hiring done under pressure.

For most small organizations, recruiting breaks down in predictable ways. Hiring pulls time away from operations and leadership. Paid job postings, turnover, and bad hires get expensive fast. Recruiting expertise and tools aren’t available in-house, and hiring becomes reactive instead of planned.

Traditional recruiting models often don’t fit small businesses. Fees of 25–35% of a candidate’s first-year salary can turn a single hire into a major expense, and the focus is frequently on filling roles quickly rather than getting the fit right.

HR One’s recruiting program is designed specifically for small and mid-sized organizations. Clients engage in an annual, renewable service that allows us to understand your business, culture, and hiring needs upfront, so every search starts with context instead of guesswork.

Candidate Hired

HR One also utilizes professional recruiting tools, resume databases, and job boards that employers would otherwise need to purchase on their own, eliminating the need to invest in individual job postings or subscriptions.

The program includes an annual on-site visit to assess hiring needs, recruiting practices, and organizational fit, along with flat, per-position pricing that avoids salary-based placement fees. This creates predictable costs and a smarter, more consistent hiring process.

HR One’s recruiting program gives smaller organizations access to recruiting expertise and tools without unpredictable costs or transactional recruiting relationships.
