Why a Talent Engine, Not an Agency

Agencies sell you time. We install systems. The difference? You own the engine, not rent the mechanic.

The Problem with the Agency Model

Traditional agencies make money when you keep hiring through them. We make money when you stop needing us because your system works.

Traditional Agency

Pay 20-25% per hire, every time
No system. just individual heroics
You're dependent on their bandwidth
Random quality, no process visibility
When they're busy, you wait
No data, no pipeline, no ownership

Alivio Talent Engine

Fixed monthly retainer. predictable costs
We install a hiring system you own
Automated pipelines run 24/7
Clear reporting on pipeline health
Works whether we're busy or not
Data, dashboards, and process documentation

We're a Talent Systems Partner, Not a Supplier

System Install, Not Service Dependency

We design, install, and run your Talent Engine. You own the process, pipelines, and data.

Fixed Timelines & Fees

Search Sprints: 21-30 days, fixed fee. No surprises, no excuses, no percentage games.

Weekly Reporting

You see pipeline health, time-to-shortlist, and candidate quality scores. not a black box.

Domain Expertise

Healthcare and tech only. No generic recruiting. We know your markets, your competitors, your challenges.

Three Products, One System

We don't do contingent placement. We don't compete with 10 other agencies on the same role. We design, install, and run hiring systems that keep critical roles filled.

1. Alivio Talent Engine

We install and run an AI-powered hiring system with automated pipelines, dedicated sourcer, and weekly reporting. You get a continuous flow of qualified candidates. not sporadic submissions.

2. Retained Search Sprints

Time-boxed, fixed-fee search for mission-critical roles. 21-30 day delivery with clear milestones. No percentage fees, no excuses, no month 6 "still looking."

3. Fractional Talent Leadership

Part-time Head of Talent function plus full Talent Engine and Search Sprint access. Strategy, systems, and execution. without the $200K+ full-time hire.

Why Retained Only?

Contingent recruiting creates misaligned incentives. Agencies rush to "win the fee" instead of finding the right fit. You waste time reviewing unqualified candidates.

Retained partnerships align incentives: We commit to fixed timelines and deliverables. You commit to exclusivity and engagement. Both sides win when the right person is hired. not just any person.

We work on retained, system-based engagements only. If you need someone to "spray and pray" 100 agencies, we're not the partner for you.

Who We Partner With

Healthcare Companies

Health systems, specialty practices, health-tech startups, digital health platforms. From clinical roles to healthcare IT, we understand compliance, licensure, and patient care urgency.

Technology Companies

Startups, scale-ups, and enterprise tech teams hiring engineers, product managers, data scientists, and technical leaders. We speak your language and know your market.
