L. Rose Recruiting: How One Winter Park Firm is Making High-Quality Hiring More Accessible to Growing Businesses

WINTER PARK, Fla., July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hiring is changing for growth-minded companies. Pressed for time and budget, more small and midsize businesses are turning to fractional recruiting—an on-demand model that offers the structure and insider knowledge of an internal hiring team, without the cost of a full-time hire.

L. Rose Recruiting, based in Winter Park, is helping lead that shift. Founded by former tech Talent Acquisition Manager Laura McDonough, the firm acts as a true extension of each client's business—guiding every step of the process: designing hiring strategies, writing job descriptions, sourcing and screening candidates, and supporting final decisions.

What sets L. Rose apart is simple: it's not a staffing agency.
"We heard the same thing over and over again from founders and hiring managers: 'I had such a negative experience with staffing agencies,'" said McDonough. "We built L. Rose to be the opposite of that—to bring the strategy, care, and consistency of corporate recruiting to companies that don't have an internal TA team yet."

How Fractional Recruiting Works

Instead of paying a recruiter's salary or a large commission to a staffing firm, clients work with L. Rose Recruiting only when they need to hire. The firm charges a flat 10% placement fee, split into two payments—half when the search begins and half after the new hire's first 30 days. Every placement includes a 90-day guarantee.

Clients are never locked into contracts. They return again and again because L. Rose Recruiting is built to function like an in-house team. By the time a new role opens, the recruiter already understands the client's business, goals, and culture—eliminating the need to start from scratch and keeping the process fast, focused, and aligned.

"We sit in on strategy calls, get to know hiring managers, and represent your brand like insiders," McDonough said. "That familiarity lets us move quickly without sacrificing fit."

Bringing Corporate-Level Recruiting to Growing Teams

Rooted in years of corporate recruiting experience, L. Rose Recruiting brings enterprise-level tools and practices to businesses that wouldn't normally have access. From structured hiring processes to sourcing technology and onboarding templates, the firm helps clients build high-performing teams—without the overhead of a full-time recruiter or the high fees of a traditional agency.

While officially incorporated in 2023, the firm's roots go back to 2020, when McDonough first began offering fractional recruiting services. Today, L. Rose helps companies hire across a wide range of roles—throughout the U.S. and internationally, including positions in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

"One of the best parts of being a fractional recruiting partner is getting to work with the same clients over time and watching the impact that every hire makes on the business," McDonough said. "When you know the people, the culture, and the mission—it's not just easier to hire, it's easier to get it right."
