Embedded recruiting is a great model for scaleups. Once your company is past Series B, hiring volume rises — but so does the cost of a mis-hire and the strain on an existing team. Embedded recruiters work inside your systems and processes, so headcount plans, compensation bands, and interview loads stay consistent as you scale.

Embedded recruiting absolutely works if you already have an in-house recruiting team. We partner with lean teams that need additional capacity during busy hiring seasons — absorbing a requisition load, a function, or a region so your internal team stays focused. Your embedded recruiter operates as part of your recruiting team and reports into your talent leader.

RPO outsources a defined process at volume, whereas embedded recruiting places a dedicated recruiter inside your team. With embedded recruiting, we work directly inside your team on a monthly retainer with no contingency fees. You keep ownership of the process; we supply capacity and expertise.

A retainer model lets you add or reduce recruiters as the hiring plan changes, without the lead time or severance exposure of internal headcount. Every client is paired with a dedicated recruiter who owns the work day to day, backed by a Client Success Manager — so coverage never depends on one person's calendar.
