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
Hiring shouldn’t feel chaotic but often does. This is because you’re constantly switching between job boards, inboxes and agencies - often being reactive. Without structure, it’s hard to stay ahead and even harder to make confident, consistent hiring decisions.
Team Is Stretched Thin
Managers get pulled into hiring tasks - juggling job ads, CVs and interviews alongside their operational duties. Productivity drops, momentum stalls, and frustration builds across the team.

Costs Keep Climbing
When you’re charged a percentage fee of every salary, your hiring costs can grow unpredictably with your headcount. Often unbudgeted recruitment costs are far greater than you realise, and that is before you factor in the time spent.
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.
Get matched with a dedicated recruiter who integrates into your business and works as a true extension of your team.

What Smart Hiring Looks Like
Three common ways businesses use Smart Sourcing to cut hiring costs and fill roles faster. These are illustrative examples of how the service works. Client stories are on their way.
A regional distribution centre recruits team leaders, shift managers and transport planners every quarter, with extra pressure before peak. Paying a contingency fee on every hire adds up fast. With Smart Sourcing, a dedicated recruiter works as part of their team for one fixed monthly fee, building a pipeline of proven candidates ahead of peak so roles are filled faster and costs stay predictable.

Frequently Asked Questions
From how the hiring reserve works to what onboarding looks like - here's what you need to know before getting started.
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.
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.
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.
Unused reserve value doesn't carry over. The reserve runs for twelve months from the start of the agreement and resets at renewal.
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.
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.
Feel free to reach out to us in any way that’s most convenient for you.
