Recruiting-as-a-Service (RaaS): Hire Content Experts Fast

When your team needs long-term content professionals, ProEdit’s Recruiting-as-a-Service (RaaS) helps you hire smarter and faster. We handle sourcing, screening, and placement—so you can focus on outcomes, not recruiting overhead.

Our RaaS model supports growing teams that need a steady pipeline of content talent. We find the right professionals, align them with your culture, and support you from search to start date.

What is Recruiting-as-a-Service?

Recruiting-as-a-Service is a flexible hiring model. Instead of paying per hire or working with generalist recruiters, you partner with a content expert. We focus only on roles involving content—technical writers, editors, course developers, and more.

Additionally, we support one-time hires, rolling talent pipelines, and department-scale hiring initiatives. You get a team that understands your roles and tools—without bloated fees or long wait times.

When should you use RaaS?

RaaS is ideal when:

  • You’re hiring multiple content professionals across teams or regions.
  • You want content experts, not generalist candidates.
  • You need a partner who understands content tools, workflows, and standards.
  • You’re building out a new content function and want help defining roles.
  • You’re tired of resetting with new recruiters every time and want a Recruiting-as-a-Service solution that grows with you.

It’s also a strong fit for companies that want a reliable, long-term hiring partner who can scale alongside them.

Comparing RaaS and contract staffing services

Recruiting-as-a-Service and contract staffing are both part of a broader staff augmentation strategy. However, they serve different needs.

  • Contract staffing helps when you need help right away. We place a vetted contractor on your team.
  • RaaS is best when you want long-term help hiring the right person into a full-time or contract role.

RaaS focuses on the front end of hiring. We take care of sourcing, screening, and shortlisting. You make the final decision. If you’re building a content team, RaaS is a smart long-term investment that supports your growth goals.

The Recruiting-as-a-Service model from ProEdit is built around your content goals. Here’s what makes it different:

What does the Recruiting-as-a-Service process look like?

Here’s what to expect:

  1. Discovery—We learn your goals, team structure, and ideal candidate profile.
  2. Role definition—We help you shape the job description and identify must-have skills.
  3. Sourcing and screening—We search, qualify, and interview candidates using our content vetting framework.
  4. Candidate presentation—You get a short list of finalists with details, availability, and qualifications.
  5. Interview and selection—You choose the best fit. We help coordinate next steps and start dates.
  6. Post-placement support—We check in with both you and the hire to ensure a smooth transition.

Need to pause or scale up? No problem. RaaS adapts to your budget and bandwidth. Each step in our workflow is designed to streamline hiring. As a result, your team experiences fewer disruptions during transitions.

Why it pays to work with content experts

Hiring content talent is different from hiring sales, marketing, or IT. Content roles often require:

  • Strong writing and editing skills
  • Familiarity with technical tools and workflows
  • Experience working with SMEs, product teams, or learning groups
  • Awareness of brand voice and compliance needs

For this reason, RaaS works best with a specialized partner. We speak the same language as your team. That shared fluency is why our Recruiting-as-a-Service clients see faster ramp-up times and better team alignment. Moreover, we use that knowledge to help you find the right person—faster.

According to SHRM, the average time to fill a position in the U.S. is 36 days. With RaaS, we often deliver qualified finalists in half that time.

How Recruiting-as-a-Service supports your broader staffing strategy

RaaS complements your overall staffing model. Some clients use RaaS alongside internal HR teams. Others integrate RaaS into workforce planning across multiple departments.

Regardless of your approach, you stay in control. We bring structure, insight, and execution. You focus on selecting the right people and leading the work.

If you need temporary help while hiring, RaaS pairs well with our Contract Staffing Services. Use contractors to keep projects on track, then let us handle the full-time search in the background.
