30+ hires without added headcount

Recruitment process outsourcing, embedded in your team

Your hiring volumes fluctuate. Your internal talent team does not. Our RPO model places a dedicated recruiter inside your business, aligned to your culture, integrated with your hiring managers, and accountable to your timelines.

Capacity without permanent overhead

Hiring demand rarely arrives evenly. A funding round, a new product line or a market entry can triple your requirement for two quarters and then return it to baseline. Recruiting permanent internal capacity for a peak leaves you carrying cost through the trough. Agency fees at volume are worse. Embedded RPO sits between the two: dedicated resource for as long as you need it, priced as a service rather than per placement.

How embedding works in practice

Your recruiter works to your process, in your systems, under your employer brand. They attend your stand-ups, sit in your hiring manager reviews, and represent your business to candidates as part of your team. We manage the full cycle from sourcing through to offer while you retain complete visibility and control. Clients on our RPO model have scaled to 30 or more hires without adding a single internal headcount.

Leaving you stronger

A good RPO engagement should improve your internal capability, not create dependency. Throughout the partnership we document the sourcing channels that worked, the messaging that converted, and the benchmarks we set, so that when the engagement ends the playbook stays with you.

Best suited to

High volume hiring periods, rapid scaling, and organisations that want to build internal capability without permanent overhead.

Common questions

Questions we are asked

How is RPO priced compared with agency fees?

RPO is typically priced as a monthly fee for dedicated resource rather than a percentage per hire. At volume the difference is substantial: organisations making twenty or more hires in a year almost always pay significantly less through an embedded model than through placement fees.

Can RPO cover only part of our hiring?

Yes. Many partnerships cover a single function, such as engineering or commercial, while the internal team retains everything else. Scope is agreed at the outset and can flex as your requirement changes.
