Why embedded recruiting is right for your team

At high-growth companies, you're working with maxed-out hiring managers, a stack of open roles, and no time to fill them. Our embedded recruiters have worked at recruiting agencies and in-house, so we understand hiring from every angle and can match your speed.

“We have to hire 10 people by the end of the month and don’t know where to begin.”

“We have to hire 10 people by the end of the month and don’t know where to begin.”

You don't have time to stand up a recruiting function while the roles pile up. We embed an experienced recruiter who can go from signed contract to onboarding within 2 weeks.

“We don’t have an internal recruiter, and I can’t do it all myself.”

“We don’t have an internal recruiter, and I can’t do it all myself.”

You need someone who works like an internal recruiter, without the cost and time to go hire an in-house recruiter yourself. Insert Estes Group. We bring in-house recruiting expertise and capacity to your company, giving your hiring teams hours of their day back. Ensuring they only spend time with qualified candidates.

“Agencies cost a fortune and none of the candidates are the right fit.”

“Agencies cost a fortune and none of the candidates are the right fit.”

Agencies charge a premium the second they place someone, right fit or not. Because we work inside your team, we have a 94% new hire retention rate.
