Your Questions Answered

Everything you need to know about working with K & J Direct

How does fractional recruiting work in practice?

+

Fractional recruiting means you get dedicated recruiting expertise without hiring a full-time employee. We work as an extension of your team, integrating with your existing tools and processes. You can scale our involvement up or down based on your hiring needs—whether that's 5 hours a week for ongoing sourcing support or 30+ hours during a rapid growth phase. You only pay for the time and expertise you actually use, with no long-term contracts required.

What if we already have an internal recruiter?

+

We work collaboratively with your existing HR and recruiting teams! Many of our clients use us to supplement their internal resources during high-volume hiring periods, for specialized roles that require niche expertise, or to provide strategic guidance. We can handle the time-intensive sourcing work while your team focuses on final interviews and culture fit, or we can take on entire searches to free up your recruiter for other priorities. Think of us as an extra set of expert hands when you need them most.

How quickly can you start, and when will we see candidates?

+

We can typically begin within 2-3 business days of our initial consultation. For most roles, you'll see the first qualified candidates within 5-7 days. Our extensive talent networks and proven sourcing strategies allow us to move quickly without sacrificing quality. For urgent needs, we can often accelerate this timeline. We'll provide a realistic timeline during our discovery call based on your specific role requirements and market conditions.

What tools and ATS systems do you integrate with?

+

We're experienced with all major applicant tracking systems including Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, BambooHR, JazzHR, and many others. We also work seamlessly with communication tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and project management platforms. If you have a preferred system, we'll adapt to your workflow. Don't have an ATS? We can recommend solutions or work with simple spreadsheets and email—whatever fits your current process best.

What's included in each service level?

+

Full-Cycle Recruiting includes everything from job posting creation and promotion, candidate sourcing and screening, interview coordination, offer negotiation, reference checks, and onboarding support. Hourly Sourcing focuses on candidate identification, outreach, screening, and pipeline building—you handle interviews and closing. Strategic Planning covers workforce planning, employer branding, process optimization, interview training, DEI strategy, and market analysis. We'll help you choose the right fit during our consultation.

Do you work with companies in all industries?

+

Yes! We've successfully placed candidates across 30+ industries including technology, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, retail, professional services, and more. Our recruiters have diverse backgrounds and we take time to deeply understand each client's industry, competitive landscape, and unique challenges. Whether you're a tech startup, established manufacturer, or growing service business, we adapt our approach to your specific market and talent pool.
