**The problem it solves** Growing vacation rental management companies need to scale hiring across housekeeping, maintenance, reservations, and operations roles quickly, but lack in-house HR teams and cannot afford the percentage-of-salary fees charged by traditional recruiting firms. **What Better Talent does** Better Talent is a US-based outsourced recruiting platform built exclusively for the vacation rental and short-term rental industry, combining a proprietary talent database with a subscription model that replaces search firm retainer or contingency fees. **How it works** Clients post roles through a self-service hiring portal and access a database of over 600,000 STR-specific talent profiles, from frontline housekeepers and maintenance technicians to reservations specialists and senior operations leaders. Better Talent handles job description creation using STR-specific role templates, advertising, initial screening, behavioural scoring, and applicant tracking, delivering a managed pipeline without the client needing internal recruiting infrastructure. A flat subscription fee replaces per-hire markups. **Who it's for** Vacation rental management companies scaling across multiple roles or markets who need to hire quickly without building an internal HR function, replacing or supplementing traditional staffing agencies that charge percentage-of-salary placement fees.
