Who We Are

Not Every Business Needs A Recruitment Subscription - But For Teams Hiring Regularly, It's A Game Changer

Smart Sourcing gives you a dedicated hiring team without the overhead of building one in-house - embedded in your business, working your roles specifically in logistics, manufacturing and engineering. Predictable, fixed-cost, and built for teams hiring regularly.

The Way You’re Recruiting Is Slowing You Down

Smart Teams Move First

You know when it’s time to change gears. The team needs room to grow; hiring has become a bottleneck and old processes no longer fit the pace of the business.

Move your recruitment from reactive to proactive and your role from operational to strategic.

Our Service

A solution for modern teams who want smarter hiring.

Instead of a fee per placement, you get a hiring reserve — a pot of placement value sized to your plans, covered by one fixed price for the year. No placement fees, no cap on the number of hires, and dedicated sourcing capacity that scales with your reserve: a single specialist at Starter, a small embedded team as the pot grows, working your roles on every leading job board including LinkedIn Recruiter Plus.

Replace unpredictable recruitment costs with one fixed price for the year, however many hires you make.

FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

From how the hiring reserve works to what onboarding looks like - here's what you need to know before getting started.

What is ACS Smart Sourcing?

ACS Smart Sourcing is a subscription-based recruitment service. Instead of paying per hire, you get a dedicated recruiter, a fixed hiring reserve and year-round support for your hiring needs. Think of it as recruiting a whole team of talent managers for the cost of a junior hire.

What do I actually get with my subscription?

You'll get access to a dedicated recruiter, tailored sourcing strategies, CV screening, interview coordination and ongoing insights - all covered by a fixed annual hiring reserve.

How does the reserve work?

Instead of a fee per placement, you agree a hiring reserve: a pot of placement value sized to your plans. Every hire draws its salary from the pot, with no placement fees and no cap on the number of hires.

What happens if we don't use the full reserve?

Unused reserve value doesn't carry over. The reserve runs for twelve months from the start of the agreement and resets at renewal.

Can we upgrade or downgrade mid-year?

You cannot downgrade during the 12-month plan; however, you can move up to a larger reserve tier if your hiring needs grow. If you need a smaller reserve going forward, we can address this at your renewal.

Who will we be working with?

In the pro package you will be matched with a dedicated recruiter who will act on your behalf for all your hiring needs. This person will be identified during the onboarding process.
