HOW WE WORK
PHILOSIPHY
At Talent Fund Select Partners, we don’t take on every job and we don’t work with every company. We focus on fewer roles, deliver a higher placement success rate, and offer a lower cost to clients. But that model only works when our clients are just as committed to the partnership as we are.
WHY SELECTIVITY MATTERS
Most staffing firms chase volume. They say yes to every role and often compete against three or four other firms for one hire. This leads to overloaded recruiters, poor candidate experiences, and a fill rate of just 25–30%.
We do things differently:
Traditional Model
Takes on every job, regardless of fit
High Contingency Fee
Recruiters over capacity due to high-risk model
Results inconsistent, low fill rates (25–30%)
Talent Fund Select Partners
Selective partnerships only roles and clients where we can deliver
Lower, aligned fees based on reduced risk and accountability
Recruiters focused and accountable - no excess risk, more attention on each search
75%+ fill rate with white-glove candidate care and loyalty incentives

WHAT WE ASK OF OUR CLIENTS

PARTNERING
To ensure mutual success, we ask for a one week near-exclusive window on searches we accept. This helps us invest deeply in each role and deliver with confidence.
We also ask that our clients commit to:
-
A transparent hiring process (defined interview steps, timely decisions)
-
Open communication (15-minute weekly syncs, real-time updates)
-
Fair and competitive compensation (guided by real-time candidate feedback)
Why This Benefits You
-
Higher placement success (fewer roles + more focus = better results)
-
Lower overall cost
-
Stronger candidates (better experience = better acceptance rates)
-
Faster momentum (recruiters aren’t stuck juggling non-viable searches)
Compounding Value Over Time
We know that asking for exclusivity takes trust. And when you give it to us, we double down to deliver.
Our model is built for long-term partnerships. Like compounding interest, every successful search improves the next:
-
We get to know your team, values, and workflow
-
We attract stronger candidates who trust our process
-
We get faster, sharper, and more accurate with every hire
When we work together over time, your talent acquisition becomes more strategic, more efficient, and more successful.
