ACTIVATE

Activate your fractional recruiting partnership.

Three monthly subscription tiers. No per-hire commissions. Pick the tier that fits the hiring volume and onsite support you need.

Activation is the start of a Metcalf Search partnership: choosing a tier, defining current open roles, setting comp bands, and beginning active sourcing in the first week. Kickoff happens within 48 hours of activation, the first vetted candidates land within five business days of kickoff, and first interviews typically start in week two.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

After you activate.

Three things, in this order, starting the day you activate.

01
Confirmation and welcome

You will land on the onboarding page immediately after payment, with a kickoff call scheduler and the partnership materials waiting for you. A confirmation email arrives within minutes.

02
Kickoff call scheduled within 48 hours

A 90-minute intake where Jay learns your business, your open roles, your hiring history, and the candidates you wish you had hired. This call sets the search direction.

03
Sourcing begins immediately

Sourcing starts the day of kickoff. Within five business days of the kickoff, the first slate of vetted candidates is in front of you. Search continues weekly until every role on the partnership is closed.

QUICK QUESTIONS

Before you activate.

What does the monthly subscription include?

Every tier covers sourcing, screening, interview coordination, offer construction, and retention support for every open role across the partnership. Tiers differ by how many roles run at once and how much recruiter time is dedicated to you, not by method.

Are there per-hire fees or commissions?

No. The monthly subscription is the full cost. There is no per-hire fee on any tier.

Can I change tiers later?

Yes. Tiers can move up or down at any monthly cycle. Rates are grandfathered, so a tier change does not reset the rate you are paying for work already running.
