FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are you a recruiting agency?
Not in the traditional sense. Recruiting is a major part of what we do, but we also own the systems, coordination, reporting, interview process, and talent operations required to keep hiring moving.
Are you an AI tool?
No. Fresno Summit is a human led embedded talent partner. We use AI and automation to improve sourcing, speed, consistency, and reporting.
Do you replace an internal talent team?
We can serve as the embedded talent function for a company that does not have one or provide additional recruiting and operational support to an existing people or talent team.
How are engagements structured?
We recommend the engagement and pricing structure that best fits your hiring goals, whether that's an embedded recruiting partnership (monthly retainer), a success-based search (contingency placement fees), or a project-based engagement.
How many roles can you support?
Most embedded partnerships support ongoing hiring across multiple roles (1-5 roles), while success-based searches focus on individual critical hires. If your hiring volume increases, we'll scale the level of recruiting support to match your hiring plan.
Will you work inside our existing systems?
Yes, if you would like us to. We work inside your existing applicant tracking system (ATS), communication tools, calendars, and hiring workflows whenever possible.
How do you use AI?
AI supports sourcing, research, enrichment, workflow management, reporting, summaries, and repetitive operational tasks. Candidate evaluation and hiring decisions remain human-led.
Do you handle executive searches or single-role placements?
Yes. If you don't need an embedded recruiting partnership, we also offer success-based searches for executive, leadership, and highly specialized roles.
Pricing is typically 20–30% of the candidate's first-year total compensation, depending on the complexity of the search, market conditions, and the level of support required. We'll recommend the structure that best fits your hiring needs.
