Talent Solutions for Critical Hiring and Workforce Growth

McCulloh Consulting provides flexible talent solutions for organizations that need more than resumes. Our work supports healthcare, legal, and enterprise technology organizations through executive search, specialized recruiting, fractional talent acquisition, RPO support, talent intelligence, and HR solutions advisory.

Our solutions are designed to meet clients where they are. Some organizations need one critical hire. Others need a dedicated search process, embedded recruiting support, market intelligence, or help strengthening their internal hiring and workforce systems.

Engagement Models Built Around Your Hiring Goals

McCulloh Consulting does not believe every hiring challenge should be forced into the same pricing model. Some clients need one specialized search. Others need a retained executive search, embedded recruiting support, scalable RPO delivery, talent market intelligence, or HR solutions advisory.

Our engagement structure is based on the scope of work, urgency, role complexity, hiring volume, and level of support required.

To determine the right fit, we begin with a Talent Operations Assessment.

Contingency Search

Contingency Search is designed for clients with a clearly defined hiring need who want access to qualified passive talent without an upfront search commitment.

This model works best when the role is specialized, the compensation range is realistic, the hiring timeline is active, and the client is prepared to interview qualified candidates quickly.

What Clients Receive

• Targeted sourcing for specialized professional roles

• Candidate screening and qualification

• Passive candidate outreach

• Candidate presentation and interview coordination

• Offer support and communication

• Net-30 invoicing after successful placement

Engagement Model

Success-based search fee based on the role, compensation, and search complexity.

Fractional Talent Acquisition

Fractional Talent Acquisition gives organizations embedded recruiting support without the cost or commitment of building a full internal recruiting team.

Retained Executive Search

Retained Executive Search is built for mission-critical leadership roles where the cost of a hiring mistake is high, and the search requires discretion, market mapping, stakeholder alignment, and structured evaluation.

This model is best for senior-level, confidential, strategic, or high-impact searches where the client needs a dedicated search partner rather than transactional recruiting.

What Clients Receive

• Search strategy and stakeholder calibration

• Talent market mapping
