How the FlexRecruit Network Works

FlexRecruit is Brightwing’s network of experienced recruiting professionals who operate independently while partnering with us on client engagements. It’s built for the fractional recruiter who wants autonomy and ownership but doesn’t want to build everything alone.

Partner with Brightwing on open requisitions and ongoing client relationships that fit your niche
Keep control of your schedule, workload, and work style
Tap into Brightwing’s infrastructure, reputation, and client network to extend your reach

As a FlexRecruit consultant, you partner with Brightwing on open requisitions or ongoing client relationships that align with your expertise. You maintain control over your schedule, workload, and work style—while leveraging Brightwing’s established infrastructure, reputation, and client network to grow your reach.

Why Experienced Recruiters Choose FlexRecruit

FlexRecruit gives you the freedom to recruit your way, with the stability and credibility of an established firm behind you.

Get Flexibility That Works
You choose your hours, projects, and commitment level. Want ten hours a week around an existing book of business? Great. Want to ramp up during certain quarters, then slow down? That works too. These are flexible recruitment jobs that adjust as your life and workload change.
Stop Recruiting On an Island
You work independently, but you’re not on your own. You get access to:
- Brightwing’s ATS and sourcing tools
- Job boards and search resources
- Administrative support so you spend your time recruiting, not chasing paperwork
You’re not cold calling random prospects to build a desk. We bring real roles and real clients. You plug in where your experience fits.

Work on Real, High-Quality Roles
FlexRecruit consultants support hiring across industries like technology, automotive, engineering, manufacturing, and professional services. The work comes with intake, context, and realistic expectations. If you’ve bounced through too many freelance recruiter jobs that felt like chaos, you’ll notice the difference quickly.
Protect Your Time and Your Earning Power
There are no call quotas or burnout rituals. You set your own hourly rate, and we match you with client projects that align with your expertise and goals. You get paid for hours worked, not just for the one placement that makes it through a dozen internal hurdles.
