// EMBEDDED RECRUITMENT · RPO · TALENT STRATEGY //
We embed directly into your team - giving you dedicated, senior recruitment talent without the agency fees or the overhead of hiring internally.
// WHAT BRINGS COMPANIES TO US //
“15–25% per hire, plus retainers, plus markups. The bill adds up before you’ve even got someone through the door.”
“Hiring a Head of TA, building an ATS, onboarding them to context - by the time it’s ready, you’ve missed the growth window.”
“Your VPs are brilliant at their jobs. But they’re spending 40% of their week doing talent work. That’s expensive.”
// SIMPLE. EMBEDDED. EFFECTIVE. //
Tell us about your business, culture, hiring goals, and timelines. We go deep - this is not a job description handoff.
