Recruitment Services Alliance Provides
Permanent Recruitment
Permanent recruitment covers full-time, long-term hires across all functions and seniority levels – from entry-level operational roles to senior management positions.
Alliance manages the complete permanent hiring lifecycle: role briefing, job description optimisation, multi-channel sourcing, competency-based screening, interview coordination, offer management, and onboarding support. Every permanent placement includes a documented replacement guarantee covering the first 30 to 90 days.
Permanent recruitment is suited to businesses building core teams, backfilling departures, or adding specialist capabilities on a long-term basis. For high-volume permanent hiring across multiple sites or functions, see our RPO services.
Contract and Temporary Staffing
Contract staffing provides skilled professionals for defined project durations – typically one month to two years – without the employer obligations of a permanent hire.
This model works well for project-based work (system implementations, product launches, seasonal demand peaks), specialist skill gaps, and maternity or long-term leave cover. All contract placements undergo the same screening and background verification as permanent hires.
Alliance also provides temporary staffing for short-notice and day-rate cover across operational, administrative, and support functions.
Executive Search
Executive search covers C-suite, board-level, and senior leadership mandates where open advertising would not reach the right candidates and confidentiality is required.
Alliance’s executive search practice uses passive candidate outreach, competitor mapping, and structured leadership assessment to build a shortlist of 4 to 6 qualified senior candidates, typically within 10 to 14 business days. Client identity is protected until both parties confirm genuine mutual interest.
Roles covered include CEO, CFO, COO, CTO, CMO, VP, and Director-level positions across all sectors. For sector-specific executive search, see our IT executive search, healthcare executive search, and finance executive search practices.
RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing)
RPO services are suited to organisations with ongoing or high-volume hiring needs that exceed what an internal HR team can manage cost-effectively.
Under an RPO arrangement, Alliance acts as an embedded extension of your talent acquisition function – managing sourcing, screening, compliance, and reporting for all open roles under an agreed SLA. RPO clients typically achieve 35 to 45% lower cost-per-hire compared to contingency staffing for equivalent volumes (SHRM, 2025).
Alliance RPO covers single-function hiring (e.g. all IT roles), multi-function hiring, or full HR outsourcing depending on your organisation’s scale and structure.
International and Offshore Recruitment
International recruitment covers cross-border hiring – sourcing talent from one country to work in another, whether remotely or as part of an in-country operation.
Alliance’s international recruitment practice spans 36+ countries, with in-market sourcing teams and credential verification specialists handling compliance, right-to-work documentation, and onboarding in both source and destination countries.
For organisations hiring offshore talent from India, the Philippines, Eastern Europe, or Africa into UAE, UK, USA, or GCC markets, our offshore recruitment agency service provides end-to-end delivery including Employer of Record (EOR) support where needed.
Volume and Bulk Hiring
Volume and bulk hiring covers campaigns requiring a large number of hires in a short timeframe – warehouse operatives, retail teams, customer service centres, graduate intake programmes, or project ramp-ups.
Alliance manages volume hiring through dedicated campaign sourcing, structured batch screening, and coordinated onboarding, typically delivering first candidate batches within 5 to 7 business days of campaign brief sign-off.

How Alliance Recruitment Services Work
Step 1 – Role Brief and Market Consultation (Day 1)
Every engagement starts with a detailed role brief captured by a sector-specialist recruiter. This covers the role requirements, seniority, team context, compensation benchmarks, and your preferred timeline to shortlist. For senior roles, we also discuss the confidentiality requirements and passive candidate strategy.
Output: signed role brief, agreed SLA, current salary benchmark report for your target profile.
Step 2 – Candidate Sourcing (Days 1 to 5)
Sourcing strategy depends on the role. For most positions, Alliance activates multiple channels simultaneously: internal pre-screened candidate database, LinkedIn Recruiter, sector-specific job boards, alumni and professional networks, and direct passive candidate outreach for senior or specialist roles.
For offshore and international mandates, in-market sourcing teams activate local networks in the target sourcing country alongside the global database.
Step 3 – Screening and Shortlist (Days 3 to 10)
Every candidate is screened through a structured process before reaching your hiring manager: CV scoring against a weighted criteria matrix, a competency-based interview, reference verification with two previous direct line managers, and background checks covering employment history, qualifications, and right to work.
For technical roles, skills assessments (coding tests, architecture reviews, case studies) are conducted by technically qualified recruiters in the relevant discipline.
Step 4 – Interview Coordination and Offer (Days 10 to 20)
Alliance manages all interview scheduling, candidate briefing, and post-interview feedback collection within 24 hours of each stage. Offer management includes compensation negotiation using live market benchmarks, counter-offer handling, and notice period coordination.
Step 5 – Onboarding and Guarantee (Day 20 onwards)
Post-placement support covers Day-1 readiness, systems access coordination, and a structured 30-day check-in. Every permanent placement includes a replacement guarantee covering the first 30 to 90 days. Contract placements include ongoing account management for the duration of the engagement.
Why Employers Choose Alliance Recruitment Services
16+ Years of Active Recruitment Delivery: Alliance has been placing candidates for employer clients since 2008 across permanent, contract, executive, and international engagements. Over 9,000 employers have worked with us, with an 80%+ repeat engagement rate – the clearest signal that placements perform.
Sector-Specialist Recruiters, Not Generalists: Every mandate is handled by a recruiter with direct experience in the relevant sector. An IT recruiter places IT roles. A healthcare recruiter places healthcare roles. This matters most in technical screening, where a generalist recruiter cannot reliably distinguish qualified candidates from credible-sounding ones.
Active Delivery in 36+ Countries: Alliance is not an agency with a list of international offices. We have active in-market sourcing teams delivering recruitment services across India, UAE, UK, USA, Canada, Kenya, Nigeria, Singapore, and 27 additional markets. Cross-border hiring is a core part of our business, not a premium add-on.
Speed Without Cutting Corners: First shortlist within 5 to 7 business days for most standard roles. 10 to 14 days for senior and specialist positions. 48-hour interim cover available for urgent gap-fill. Speed comes from a pre-screened candidate database and a structured process, not from skipping verification.
Flexible Engagement Models: Per-hire contingency for individual roles. Retained search for senior and confidential mandates. Embedded RPO for ongoing or high-volume hiring. EOR-supported international placements. Whichever model fits your hiring need and budget, Alliance has a delivery structure to match.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What recruitment services does Alliance provide?
Alliance provides permanent recruitment, contract and temporary staffing, executive search, RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing), international and offshore recruitment, and volume hiring campaigns. Services are available on a per-hire, retained, or fully outsourced RPO basis depending on your hiring volume and requirements. All services are employer-facing – we place candidates on behalf of businesses that need to hire, not on behalf of job seekers.
Q2. How much do recruitment services cost?
Permanent placement fees are typically 15 to 25% of the placed candidate’s first-year salary, depending on seniority and sector. Contract and temporary staffing fees are structured as a mark-up on the daily or hourly rate, typically 20 to 35%. RPO services are priced on a management fee or cost-per-hire basis depending on volume. Alliance confirms all fees in writing before any search begins. No fee is charged unless a placement is made on contingency engagements.
Q3. How long does it take to receive a candidate shortlist?
For most standard roles, Alliance delivers the first qualified shortlist within 5 to 7 business days of a completed role brief. Senior and specialist positions, including executive search and niche technical roles, typically require 10 to 14 business days. Urgent or interim cover mandates can be filled within 24 to 48 hours from the existing pre-screened candidate database. Timeline commitments are confirmed in the signed SLA at the start of each engagement.
Q4. What is the difference between permanent and contract recruitment services?
Permanent recruitment places a candidate as a full-time, long-term employee of your organisation. Contract recruitment places a specialist for a defined project period – typically one to twenty-four months – without permanent employment obligations. Contract-to-hire allows you to evaluate a candidate’s real-world performance over a trial period before converting to permanent employment. The right model depends on whether the role is ongoing or project-based, your budget structure, and your risk appetite for a permanent hiring mistake.
Q5. Can Alliance provide recruitment services internationally?
Yes. Alliance provides international recruitment services across 36+ countries with active in-market sourcing teams. Common international mandates include sourcing technology talent from India for UAE or UK employers, placing healthcare professionals from Southeast Asia into GCC health systems, and supplying operational talent from Africa for regional manufacturing and construction projects. Cross-border compliance, credential verification, and Employer of Record support are all available as part of the international recruitment service.
Q6. What sectors do your recruitment services cover?
Alliance recruitment services cover IT and technology, finance and accounting, healthcare and life sciences, hospitality and F&B, manufacturing and engineering, legal, sales and commercial, retail, real estate, and logistics. Within each sector, Alliance assigns recruiters with direct professional background in that vertical rather than generalist recruiters covering all industries. For sector-specific service detail, see our IT recruitment and healthcare recruitment agencies pages.
Q7. What is RPO and when does it make sense for our business?
RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing) is a model where Alliance manages your organisation’s entire recruitment function as an embedded extension of your internal HR team, handling sourcing, screening, compliance, and reporting for all open roles under an agreed SLA. RPO makes commercial sense when your organisation hires 20 or more people per year across multiple functions and the internal HR team cannot manage that volume cost-effectively. Companies using RPO for this volume typically achieve 35 to 45% lower cost-per-hire compared to contingency staffing for the same roles (SHRM, 2025). See our RPO services page for full detail on engagement models.
Q8. How is Alliance different from posting on a job board?
A job board publishes your vacancy and returns whoever applies, with no screening, no verification, and no guarantee of quality. Alliance’s recruitment services actively source candidates – including passive candidates who are not on job boards at all – screen every candidate against your role requirements, verify qualifications and work history, and only present people who meet your brief. Passive candidates make up approximately 70% of the qualified talent pool at any time (LinkedIn Global Talent Trends, 2025), meaning job boards access roughly 30% of available candidates. Alliance accesses all of it. The commercial difference: Alliance placements carry a replacement guarantee; job boards do not.
