HR Strategy & Support
Recruiting Support
Recruiting support helps your organization define roles, find and assess candidates, and manage interviews, candidate communication and offers.
Request a consultationGetting the support your hiring needs
You may have an open role and limited time to manage the search, several hiring priorities or an internal team that needs additional support. LSPT can carry out the recruiting work with you, from clarifying what the role requires to communicating with candidates and supporting an offer. We start with the positions you need to fill and discuss how much of the process you want us to handle.
- A role needs to be filled, and your managers need help running the search.
- Your team needs support finding candidates with the experience and skills the work requires.
- Applications, interviews and candidate follow-up are taking more time than your team has available.
- An existing recruiter or HR team needs additional capacity for a hiring priority.
- Hiring is part of a broader need for fractional HR support.
Support through the hiring process
Hiring decisions we work through
- What responsibilities, skills and experience does the role require?
- Where will we look for candidates, and how will applications be reviewed?
- Who will interview candidates, assess them against the role’s requirements and make the hiring decision?

Planning recruiting support with your team
We discuss the roles, your hiring priorities and the support available inside your organization. From there, we outline the recruiting responsibilities LSPT will take on, your team’s involvement and how decisions and updates will be handled. You can ask for support with the full recruiting process or the parts that need attention. Recruiting can also be included in a broader fractional HR engagement.
Scope and related support
- Your organization approves the role, hiring budget, selection decisions and offer terms. We establish who can make each decision before the search begins.
- The proposal explains the recruiting work, communication arrangements and fees. The hiring timeline depends on the role, the candidate market and your team’s decisions.
- Workforce Planning can help you determine which roles are needed. Fractional HR can provide ongoing support beyond the hiring process.
Questions about Recruiting Support
Can you handle the full recruiting process?
Yes. LSPT can support role definition, job postings, sourcing, screening, interviews, candidate communication and offers. We discuss the positions and your organization’s needs to determine which responsibilities we will handle and which stay with your team.
Can we hire you specifically for recruiting support?
Yes. Recruiting can be the focus of the work or part of a broader fractional HR engagement. Tell us about the roles you need to fill and where you need support, and we can discuss an arrangement around those needs.
Can you work alongside our recruiter or HR team?
Yes. LSPT can provide additional capacity or take responsibility for agreed parts of the hiring process. We establish how candidate information, interviews, feedback and follow-up will move between LSPT and your internal team.
What do you need from us to begin?
We start with the positions, role requirements, approved compensation range, hiring priorities and the people involved in decisions. If you have job descriptions or an established hiring process, we review those together. We also discuss access to the recruiting tools needed for the work.
Who makes the hiring decision?
Your organization makes the final selection and approves the offer. LSPT can screen candidates, participate in interviews and help your team evaluate the information against the role’s requirements. The engagement explains decision-making responsibilities and approvals.
Does recruiting support include onboarding?
The recruiting work can include coordinating the transition from an accepted offer to your onboarding process. If you also need help carrying out onboarding or establishing the process, we can include that through Fractional HR or HR Policies & Processes. The proposal explains what is included.
Do you help individuals looking for a job?
Recruiting Support is for organizations hiring employees. Individuals can work with LSPT through Coaching for career decisions, job-search planning and interview preparation. You can arrange coaching directly for yourself.
