Uplink costs up to 75% less
than traditional staffing agencies.

Compare our services to other staffing alternatives. We're built for startups:

 

For years, your choices were limited: hire a full-time recruiter, bring on a contractor, use a staffing agency, or outsource to an RPO. But Uplink changed that in 2016 by providing high-growth teams with a fifth option: on-demand, embedded recruiting. Our team fills jobs in days, not weeks, with top 5% software and aerospace engineering, product, and GTM talent, for half the cost of agencies, and without lengthy contracts. Here's why teams switch to Uplink:

 

Faster time-to-fill

Uplink averages ~27 days to fill software and related roles. That's substantially faster when compared to RPOs (~35 days), retained search (~41 days), and many traditional agencies (~57 days).

 

Lower cost per hire
Uplink’s modeled cost per hire of ~9% undercuts RPOs (25–40%), contingency (17–25%), and retained search (40–50%). For many teams, that’s about half the cost of agencies.

 

Flexible capacity, real outcomes
Make unlimited hires during an engagement, as opposed to the “one hire per search” constraints common to retained and contingency models.

 

No retainers, no long-term contracts

Uplink doesn't require lengthy contracts. We also offer a placement guarantee for active searches. Clients can pause the service when they need to, or scale up when hiring surges.

 

Passive talent, powered by our stack
We do more than “post and pray.” Your engagement includes our recruiting tech stack and targeted outreach to passive candidates who rarely apply.

 

How does it fit your team?

Uplink embeds directly with your HR team and hiring managers. We run structured sourcing and recruiting campaigns, screen candidates, and schedule interviews to keep your pipeline moving. Utilize us to accelerate hiring in the short term or as a longer-term solution for Talent Acquisition during periods of growth.
