Activates a Nationwide Recruiting Network

The Ridgeback Recruiting Network

Ridgeback gives employers one accountable point of contact and the reach of a broad recruiting network to help fill roles faster — on a contingency basis — with reduced rates for multiple open searches.

Most companies either post a role and wait or manage multiple recruiters with mixed results. Ridgeback gives you one point of contact and a recruiting model designed to expand reach, build early search momentum, and reduce hiring friction. Benefit-led copy is recommended on B2B landing pages because visitors care first about outcomes, not internal company descriptors

We not only follow a highly efficient 8 step process that allows us to find the right people but what makes us different is that we leverage our recruiting network of over 300 recruiters along with our database of over 7 million candidates to find the best person for the role.

Built on Results and Retained Client Trust

Results and client satisfaction oriented, with one client retaining Ridgeback for more than seven and a half years.

Trusted across sectors, including a nonprofit client that retained Ridgeback for over four years.

Proven ability to close critical roles, including a Ridgeback recruiter with the third-highest placement in network history.

Initial profiles delivered within 48 hours of kickoff to establish fit early and keep the search moving. These are stronger than vague testimonials because specific proof supports credibility more effectively on conversion pages.

Benefits for Employers:

One Accountable Partner
Work through one Ridgeback contact instead of coordinating multiple recruiters, vendors, and conversations.

Expanded Talent Reach
Activate a wider recruiting network to reach qualified active and passive candidates across the market.

Faster Search Momentum
Receive initial candidate profiles within 48 hours of kickoff so the search can be calibrated early and kept moving.

Flexible Search Economics
Use a contingency relationship with reduced rates when you open more than one search at a time.

 

The 8 Step Ridgeback Program

A colorful pyramid chart showing 7 steps of human needs and self-fulfillment.

1. RECEIVE THE POSITION

Our clients share details of the skills and requirements of the role. We meet internally to discuss options and tactics.

2. CLIENT KICK-OFF CALL

We have a kick-off meeting with our client to hash out the details of the request and set expectations on potential talent.

3. ENGAGE THE NETWORK

Following the kick-off meeting, we will review the job description to require any revisions and then share with our network of 300+ recruiters to broaden the talent hunt.

4. BEGIN THE TALENT HUNT

We begin this phase with our network identifying qualified talent, and engage the candidates most likely to fit the search. This network-driven approach helps employers reach beyond inbound applicants and into the passive market.

5. CONTACT THE A-LISTERS

The network team screens the selected candidates, and then contacts the most qualified talent on the list.

6. QUALIFY THE TALENT

After making contact, we re-verify that the details on the candidate’s profile align with the skills expected by our client.

7. CONDUCT INTERVIEWS

We pick the cream of the crop and begin interviews with each candidate to build rapport and set the expectations of the job

8. SUBMIT TO THE CLIENT

Once we identify the most promising candidates, we pass our recommendations to our client for review and approval. If approved, an offer will be made.
