Rethinking Recruitment: How Virtual Talent Solutions is Changing the Game for SMBs

The Frustration that Sparked a Business Idea

Throughout my career, I’ve been on both sides of the recruitment equation—first as a candidate, then as a hiring manager. Each experience came with its own set of frustrations.

As a candidate, I often found myself in the dark, wondering whether my application was even being considered. After spending hours tailoring my CV and cover letter to match a role, all I wanted was some basic feedback to know if I had a real shot—or if it was time to move on.

As a client, I expected more than just lip service. Recruitment agencies would claim to have a pool of "ready-to-go" candidates, but in reality, they would simply post the same job ads I had already run and present me with the same applicants. Worse still, the hefty price tag never quite made sense—especially when the recruitment fee was tied to salary, despite the process being nearly identical for a $120K role vs. a $140K role. Unless headhunting was involved, it was hard to justify why I was I paying more?

I knew there had to be a better way. That’s where Virtual Talent Solutions (VTS) comes in.

Introducing a Smarter, More Transparent Approach

VTS is built on a simple yet powerful principle: give businesses full control over their hiring process while offering expert support where it’s needed. No inflated fees. No unnecessary services. Just tailored recruitment solutions that save businesses time and money.

With VTS, you decide which parts of the recruitment process we handle. The more you do, the more you save. It’s hiring—your way.

How VTS Works

We’re here to support, not replace, your hiring efforts. You can engage us for all or part of the process, depending on your needs at the time. Here’s how it works:

🔹Role Scoping & Ad Writing – We work with you to define the role and craft an attention-grabbing job ad.

🔹Ad Posting on Multiple Platforms – Thanks to our experience and buying power, we can get your job ad in front of more quality candidates at a lower cost.

🔹CV Screening & Shortlisting – We’ll sift through applications, ranking them against your must-have skills and requirements.

🔹Interviewing (Optional) – Prefer to handle interviews yourself? Go for it! Need a second opinion? We can conduct interviews and provide comprehensive feedback reports.

🔹Skills Testing & Reference Checks – Ensure candidates meet the required competencies before making an offer.

🔹Offer & Follow-Up – If you find the right fit, we can handle the final steps, from making the job offer to post-hire check-ins.

Why Small & Medium Businesses Love VTS

Hiring a single employee is one thing. But when you need to scale up quickly—whether for a new project, seasonal demand, or business growth—recruitment costs can skyrocket.

With VTS’s bulk recruitment options, the cost per hire goes down, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses that need to recruit multiple employees at once. You get the same high-quality service at a fraction of the price traditional recruitment agencies charge.

The Bottom Line: You Stay in Control

The recruitment landscape has been due for a shake-up, and Virtual Talent Solutions is leading the charge. We believe businesses should only pay for what they truly need, without being locked into expensive, one-size-fits-all services.

Need full support this month but only light assistance next time? No problem. We flex with your business needs, ensuring you get the right talent—without the unnecessary costs.
