Bolt-On and Hire Top Talent

Why bolt-on?

Our bolt-on model was designed to handle the key challenges that most high-growth teams face and build the momentum you need to scale.

The competition for innovation skills has never been more fierce and you require someone in market battling for the talent you need to help you create, design and build your products and services. Add us to your team and we’ll be out there ensuring you don’t miss out on talent to other companies.

We charge a monthly retainer and a percentage fee per placement.

Our pricing model

Allows you to mitigate risk and cost by having a hybrid retainer and percentage fee on success model. Other agencies who ask you to pay huge monthly retainers may deliver you a whole lot of nothing!

Reduces your cost-per-hire. That’s important to us. You’re partnering with us and trusting our team to deliver. We want to return that back in cost-savings.

Creates an invested bond between both parties. Through this pricing model we are both vested into each others success and therefore accountable. This accountability allows us to tackle the market with a sense of purpose and determination.

How we compare

Embedded agencies / RPO

High cost-burden each month plus you may be partnered with recruiters that lack experience or ability to solve recruiting challenges or hurdles.

Our Talent Partners are experienced and know how to solve problems.

We also utilize a retainer and placement fee to reduce your risk.

Hiring more internal recruiters

Can be a longer term cost burden if you need shorter term support.

Also require a long ramp up whereas we can build an active pipeline of talent within a week.

You also get an outside-in perspective and access to a wider pool of talent.

Contingency Search Recruitment

Much higher cost-per-hire. Without an investment up-front on a search then there is no real commitment from the agency to focus on your search.

We also ensure we have weekly meetings, shared applicant tracking, weekly reporting and monthly content to amplify your employer brand.

Proto Case Study

The first year was a big one for Proto: The consultancy landed 14 clients and hired over 40 people. We parachuted into Proto to support them in making critical hires for their growth across experience design, innovation strategy, brand strategy and commercial strategy.

“A hard thing about being a young company is that there’s gaps all over your org chart. Keeping up with demand and growth is hard. When you’re trying to do client work while also prioritizing interviews and getting new talent in, we ultimately needed a partner that had expertise in certain roles and talent.

What we loved about Bamboo Crowd was the talent that they work with and identify with. We wanted to work with a partner that gave us an advantage in finding this kind of talent,”

“The several hires that we’ve made through Bamboo Crowd are directly correlated to us being able to take on new business, which of course means more growth for us and more revenue for the company, which is amazing.”
