Engagements are structured around dedicated monthly capacity, with the number of hours customized to the organization’s needs. A typical engagement may include 20, 30, or 40 hours per month, although the right level depends on the scope of the work, hiring demand, existing resources, meeting cadence, and the amount of leadership and implementation support required.

The hours are not tied to predefined packages. They provide flexible capacity that can be used across the priorities we agree are most important, whether that means fractional TA leadership, interim support, building or strengthening the function, technology and AI, analytics, process improvement, team leadership, or a major transformation initiative.

The appropriate level of capacity is determined together at the beginning of the engagement and can be adjusted as the organization’s needs evolve.

Yes. I can help identify, access and hire strong recruiters so that when my engagement ends you have a capability TA team in place to carry the work forward.

Yes. I can lead the functional side of the implementation, including defining requirements, configuring workflows, coordinating testing, managing the project, training users, and making sure the technology supports the way your talent acquisition function actually needs to operate.

Some platforms also require a technical implementation specialist, integration partner, or vendor-provided resource for system configuration, data migration, API work, integrations, or other technical setup. Those services would be an additional cost and would be scoped separately.

Select executive, confidential or difficult-to-fill hiring support may be included as a part of a broader TA leadership engagement. Bearing Talent is not positioned as a high-volume staffing agency.

No. Bearing Talent provides Talent Acquisition Leadership, infrastructure and transformation support. Select critical hiring support may be included when it supports the broader engagement.
