Why Recruiting Feels Broken-And What We’re Doing About It

Hiring used to be a predictable function.
Open a role. Launch the search. Fill it. Move on. 

But in today’s market, that process feels slower, more expensive, and far more uncertain than it should be. 

If you lead Talent Acquisition or HR, you know the drill: 

• Roles stay open too long. 

• Candidates miss the mark. 

• And recruiting partners keep charging like it's still 2012. 

The real issue? The recruiting model itself hasn’t kept up with the speed and accountability modern organizations demand. 

What’s Actually Holding You Back 

It’s not just a talent shortage. Or a budget issue. Or a capacity crunch. 

The root problem is that most recruiting services still run on a commission-first, speed-last playbook. They're built to close deals, not deliver real alignment with your hiring goals. 

That’s why: 

• You're often left waiting weeks just to see the first resume. 

• Recruiters aren’t motivated to move fast unless they’re chasing commission. 

• And your team spends more time chasing updates than moving the process forward. 

It’s not that these firms don’t want to help.
It’s that their incentive model works against your priorities. 

Rethinking the Way Recruiting Should Work 

At Qualigence, we’ve flipped that model on its head. 

Instead of bloated fees and vague timelines, we focus on one thing: results that earn your trust quickly. 

Here’s how: 

• 3 qualified candidates delivered within 7 business days 

• Never pay more than 15% of the candidate’s salary 

• You only pay for hours worked - not for “potential” 

No surprises. No inflated commissions. No “maybe next week.” 

We built this approach because we got tired of watching great TA teams shoulder the burden while their partners underdelivered. 

“We didn’t expect speed and quality to come in the same package.”
- VP of Talent, National Manufacturing Firm 

“They delivered real candidates fast - and they actually stuck.”
- Director of HR, Healthcare Services 

It’s Not Magic. It’s Process. 

How do we do it? 

• A dedicated sourcing and research team kicks off on Day 1 

• We align on exactly what “qualified” means - no guesswork 

• You get full visibility: weekly recaps, real-time tracking, and actionable feedback 

• And we focus on retention, not just placement 

This isn’t a workaround. It’s a new way forward - designed for TA leaders who need speed without sacrificing quality or blowing through budget.
