Fractional Recruiting
Recruiting, without the agency part.
Just Genius gives growing healthcare and SaaS companies fractional recruiting capacity and hiring infrastructure, minus the agency-style fees and the headcount you’re not ready to add yet.
No long-term contracts. No 20% placement fees. Just recruiting help, when you need it.
The Problem
Growing shouldn’t make hiring harder.
You’ve got more roles. More hiring managers. More pressure. And recruiting is becoming another job for people who already have one.
- Too many open roles
- Not enough sourcing capacity
- Difficult-to-find talent
- Hiring managers overwhelmed
- Inconsistent candidate pipelines
- No need for a full-time recruiting team yet
The problem isn’t always that you need a recruiting team.
Sometimes you just need experienced recruiting capacity.
See How We HelpThe Un-Agency Approach
Built for the messy middle.
Growing companies live somewhere between founder-led hiring and a fully built internal recruiting team. That’s where Just Genius operates: experienced recruiting capacity for exactly that stage.
We call it the Un-Agency approach. Traditional agencies get paid when a placement happens, so volume is the incentive. We get paid for the partnership, so a hiring process that actually works is the incentive.
Partnership economics
We’re paid for the engagement, not a fee every time someone accepts an offer.
Full pipeline visibility
You see search progress and candidate status as it happens, not just when we’ve got someone to show you.
We build it, you keep it
Scorecards, process, and market intel stay with your team after the engagement ends.
Capacity that flexes
Add recruiting support when hiring accelerates, without adding headcount you’re not ready for.
