Recruiting Services That Flex With Your Needs
Whether you're scaling across multiple roles, closing a critical leadership hire, or building your talent infrastructure from scratch, we flex to fit your reality.
No two growth stages look the same. That's why we don't force you into a one-size-fits-all model.
Industry Sage offers fractional embedded recruiting, targeted search, and talent advisory built around how you actually need to hire. You get experienced recruiters who work like insiders, without the overhead of adding headcount.
Fractional Embedded Recruiting
A dedicated recruiter who integrates directly into your team, operating like an in-house hire without the full-time cost.
Contingency Search
Targeted recruiting for specialized or one-off roles with zero upfront cost. You only pay when we deliver the right hire.
Retained Search
Exclusive, priority-level partnership for leadership and mission-critical roles that demand speed, focus, and precision.
Talent Advisor
Strategic guidance to strengthen your hiring foundation, from employer brand and candidate experience to interview training and process design.
Fractional Embedded Recruiting (RPO)
Your recruiting team. Without the headcount.
When you're growing fast, traditional models break down. Agencies operate at arm's length. Internal recruiters hit capacity the moment you need them most.
Our fractional embedded model gives you a dedicated recruiter who operates as part of your team. Inside your systems. Aligned with your culture. Accountable for results.
Perfect for:
- Growth-stage companies hiring across multiple roles
- Founders or lean teams managing hiring themselves
- Companies scaling quickly post-funding
How it works:
We embed an experienced recruiter directly into your company. They work your roles, use your tools, and show up like an internal teammate. You get full-cycle recruiting coverage from job intake to offer acceptance, with one flat monthly fee.
Speed
Start recruiting in days, not weeks.
Quality
Every candidate vetted for skill and culture fit.
Predictability
One monthly cost. No surprise invoices when you extend offers.
Flexibility
Scale up or down as hiring needs shift.
How it works:
We discuss your role requirements and ideal candidate profile. Then we source, screen, and present qualified candidates using our proven placement framework. You interview and select your top choice. Payment is due only when you extend an offer and the candidate accepts.
CONTINGENCY SEARCH
Pay only when we deliver.
Need to fill a specialized role but not ready for ongoing partnership? Our contingency search gives you access to our sourcing precision and recruiting expertise on a per-placement basis.
We run the same disciplined process we use for embedded clients. You just pay only when you hire.
Perfect for:
- One-off or specialized hiring needs
- Temporary backfills or short-term projects
- Companies testing our approach before committing to fractional support
Zero Upfront Risk
No retainer. No monthly fees. Pay only for results.
Elite Sourcing
Access to our network and proven placement framework.
Speed and Precision
Candidates vetted through our 5-step process, delivered fast.
Retained Search
Exclusive partnership for mission-critical hires.
When the role is make-or-break, the timeline is tight, and there's no room for error, retained search is the answer.
This is priority-level engagement. We focus exclusively on your search with deep market research, proactive sourcing, and white-glove candidate management from first outreach to signed offer.
Perfect for:
- Leadership or VP-level positions
- Confidential or high-stakes searches
- Companies needing dedicated focus and speed
How it works:
We begin with a deep discovery session to understand the role, your culture, and success criteria. Then we conduct comprehensive market research and competitive mapping. We proactively source and vet candidates through our rigorous framework, managing the entire process from first contact through offer negotiation and acceptance.
Exclusive Focus
Your search gets priority above all others.
Market Intelligence
In-depth competitive mapping and talent landscape analysis.
Precision Execution
Every candidate vetted through our rigorous framework.
Faster Close Rate
Dedicated attention shortens time-to-hire and improves offer acceptance.
How it works:
We start with an audit of your current recruiting operations, employer brand positioning, and candidate experience. Together, we identify gaps and opportunities. Then we develop a customized game plan, actionable strategies and frameworks you can implement immediately.
Talent Advisory
Build a recruiting engine that scales.
Great recruiting doesn't start with a job post. It starts with a strong foundation: clear employer brand, streamlined process, trained interviewers, and a candidate experience worth talking about.
Our talent advisory services help you modernize your recruiting infrastructure so you can attract better candidates, move faster, and hire with confidence..
Perfect for:
- Founders or HR teams building recruiting operations from scratch
- Companies struggling to attract quality candidates
- Teams preparing to scale headcount quickly

Higher Retention
Hire candidates who truly fit your culture and role, leading to longer tenure and better performance.
WHY COMPANIES CHOOSE US
