Ways We Can Work Together
Contingent Search
For challenging, “unicorn” reqs, confidential searches, and niche positions requiring extra time, energy and expertise. By outsourcing one-off requisitions, in-house recruiters can continue day-to-day hiring without losing traction on complex hires.
Interim Recruiting
For seasonal hiring. leaves and vacations, and extended time-to-fill issues. When you don’t want to (or can’t) add recruiting FTEs, your open positions are still open, and vacant positions can be costly. Hourly interim recruiting is an effective way to augment your core team. With UTP, you have the recruiting talent you need, when you need it.
Recruiter Training
When you expand your approach, you up your game and amplify your prospects. We continually learn from experts in the field to stay on top of best-practice techniques, integrating new ideas into tried and true methods that can take years to discover on your own. Our multi-level program is designed to keep busy recruiters engaged, so they walk away with the tools and the confidence to accelerate hiring, improve candidate experience, ensure compliance, and deliver quality hires.
As philosopher Lao Tzu famously said, “Give me a fish and I eat for a day; teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.”
The Process

We’re a good fit if…
Old-school recruiting practices have caught up with your team.
You believe a growth mindset and a spirited exchange of ideas are keys to your team’s success.
You need to keep flying the plane while you rebuild it.
We’re not a good fit if…
"Good enough" recruiting is good enough.
"This is how we've always done it" is doing it for you.
Your team is a well-oiled machine with the metrics to back that up.

You have questions.
We have answers.
-
Turn to UTP when you need skilled support for all your recruiting needs. Our partnership is powerful when your team is stuck, and just as effective when they are moving fast in a new direction.
-
Unique resource: 20 years of hiring expertise and a network of nearly 10,000 LinkedIn followers means we know how to hire, and we know who to call.
Professional certifications: SHRM Sr Certified Professional (SCP), ICF Certified Coach, and more.
Credibility through referrals: Companies come to UTP because they know someone who has had success with us, or they’ve worked with us before.
They stay with us because we deliver. We remove the noise, and just get the work done.
-
Quality, speed, long term relationships and positive employer branding are our keys to successful hiring.
Consistent processes and reliable metrics ensure we’re doing it right.
-
For any hire, plan on about one week for every $10K you expect to pay in first year base wages.
During our initial consultation, we’ll lay out a game plan that includes a timeline, and we’ll iterate on that throughout our partnership.
-
For sure. Most of what we do can be done virtually. And when in-person time will add value, we can come onsite.
-
There’s nothing mysterious about our partnership. We’re here either to fill a few jobs and/or to build bench strength, to help your team tap into their own inner magic. But recruiters who are worried about job security might not see it that way at first.
Count on us to win them over.
Our processes are fundamental best practices delivered in creative ways that engage and reward the team. We involve your team because (1) they know what’s really happening and (2) we all want positive changes to stick. People don’t tear down what they help build.
-
Goals and deliverables are set before we start, and metrics take the temperature on what we are trying to do.
It’s not likely, but if the project sponsors are dissatisfied, or if UTP feels we’re not able to meet our end of the bargain, we will work together to find a fair solution.
-
Need us yesterday? Let’s set up a call this week. Once an agreement is in place, most projects start within a week to ten days.
We’re on your timeline, and we’ll be clear about our capacity to deliver.
