The Problem
Most companies are hiring the hard way.
Contingency agencies
They charge 20–25% of a candidate's salary — per hire. Every role you fill adds cost.
Full-time in-house recruiters
A dedicated recruiter runs $150,000–$180,000 per year, before tools and benefits.
Job boards
They give you volume, not quality — hundreds of resumes to sort for a few real fits.
There is a better way.
How it works
Simple. Structured. Effective.
A dedicated senior recruiter embedded in your business — managing your roles, your pipeline, and your process.

What clients say
Real results from real engagements.
We filled three critical roles in under 60 days.
Before Special Recruiting Projects, we were burning time and money on contingency agencies. Now we have a recruiter who actually knows our business.
It felt like hiring a full-time recruiter — without the risk.
The fractional model gave us senior-level expertise at a fraction of what we'd pay to bring someone in-house. The ROI was immediate.
Our hiring process went from chaotic to consistent.
They built our pipeline, managed our interviews, and kept everything moving. We just showed up to make decisions.
We saved over $50,000 in the first year alone.
Compared to what we were spending on agency fees, this was a no-brainer. And the quality of candidates was significantly better.
