Full desk recruiting
A full desk recruiter, without making the hire.
Full desk recruiting means one team does both halves of the job: winning the business and filling the roles. Eagle AI Agency runs the business development side. Our recruiting partner runs the recruiting side. Together that is over 20 years of highly technical recruiting, led by a former account executive and a former director at larger recruiting firms, on one flat monthly fee.
What does a full desk recruiter actually do?
The work splits cleanly in two, and each half goes to the people who have done it for years.
| The work | Who handles it |
|---|---|
| Finding companies that are hiring | Eagle AI Agency |
| Outreach by email, LinkedIn and phone | Eagle AI Agency |
| Website, search and Google Business Profile | Eagle AI Agency |
| Job intake and job descriptions | Our recruiting partner |
| Sourcing and screening candidates | Our recruiting partner, with AI screening |
| Candidate calls and interviews | Our recruiting partner |
| Shortlists through to offer | Our recruiting partner, with your hiring manager |
Who is behind it?
Matthew Eagle spent eight years on a staffing desk as an account executive, breaking open territory from cold and recruiting into engineering, finance, IT and healthcare.
Our recruiting partner is a former director at a larger recruiting firm and leads the recruiting team.
Between us, that is over 20 years of highly technical recruiting.
Who is full desk recruiting for?
- 1Staffing firm owners who came from sales or operations and need a recruiter on the desk.
- 2Growing companies with steady hiring and no in-house talent team.
- 3Teams hiring for technical roles, where a generalist recruiter struggles.
Why rent a full desk instead of hiring a recruiter?
An in-house recruiter comes with a salary, benefits, an applicant tracking system and a LinkedIn Recruiter seat before they make a single placement, and then months to ramp. A full desk from us starts with the tools and the people already in place, for a flat monthly fee rather than a percentage of every salary.
How is this different from the recruiting engine?
The recruiting engine is the system: sourcing, screening and scoring that runs for your own recruiter. Full desk adds the people. Our partner's recruiters run the candidate side and we run business development, so nobody on your team has to.
Questions people ask
Is this a placement fee model?
No. It is one flat monthly fee. There is no percentage of salary and no fee per hire.
Who talks to the candidates?
A recruiter from our recruiting partner. AI helps with sourcing and screening, but the candidate conversations are run by a person.
What kinds of roles do you fill?
Highly technical roles are the core, including engineering, IT and other specialist positions. Our partner also places sales, operations, leadership and clinical roles.
Can a staffing firm use this as its own recruiting capacity?
Yes. Staffing firms can run full desk as their own recruiting capacity while they focus on clients.
