How It Works
We meet you where you are.
Whether you need an embedded recruiting partner, extra capacity during periods of growth, or help with a specific recruiting or HR initiative, we tailor our engagement to your goals, your team, and your stage of growth. Fresno Summit provides the expertise and execution needed to move your business forward.
Understand the hiring plan
We start by learning the business, not just the open roles.
- Growth priorities and the roadmap driving headcount
- Every open role, its level, and why it matters now
- Stakeholders who own the decision, who is in the loop
- Your current process, tools, and where it breaks down
Define the right engagement model
Every company hires differently. Together, we'll determine the level of support that best fits your hiring goals, team, and stage of growth.
- Embedded Recruiting: An ongoing partnership with a predictable monthly retainer for companies hiring for 1-5 roles at once that need ongoing support.
- Executive & Specialized Search: Success-based pricing (placement fee) for niche roles or executive searches. You only pay when we make a successful placement.
- Talent Operations & HR Projects: Fixed-fee project-based engagements for talent operations, HR initiatives, candidate sourcing support, system implementations, and other hiring infrastructure needs.
Built to evolve: As your hiring needs change, your engagement and pricing model can evolve with them.
