Recruiter (Within)
01 What
(

A senior recruiter within your team.
Not an agency. Not a hire.)

We embed in your tools, run any part of your hiring process, on when you need us, off when you don't.

Built by recruiters with Senior TA experience at Google and 20+ other tech companies, as well as agency experience. Fluent hiring across the EU, US, LATAM, and APAC.

The third option,
between agency
and headcount.
Plug in. Plug out.
At your pace.
02 Embedded

Embedded recruiting: an in-house recruiter you didn't have to hire.

We embed into your Slack and ATS, attend your standups, and run your hiring from intake to signed offer — like a senior internal recruiter, but we plug in within days and step off when you don't need us.

vs Agency

We own the whole process — not just the first 1/5 of it.

vs Internal hire

Productive in hours, not months — and you don't carry the headcount when hiring slows.

03 Team

Senior recruiters. No middle layer.

You'll work directly with the people who do the work. No "account manager" handing your brief to a junior recruiter. No "we'll assign someone to your team." Whoever you talk to in the first meeting is the person you'll be working with.

04 How

Plug in. Run. Improve. Hand over when you're ready.

01
EMBED

Hours after kickoff, we're in your Slack, your ATS, your standups.

Within days we're shipping outreach. We align with your business and your team in the first week — at full operating speed, ready to make the magic happen.

02
RUN

We drive kickoff meetings, sourcing, screening, interviews, and support closing candidates.

Hiring managers stop reviewing CVs that don't fit and start interviewing only candidates worth interviewing. Leadership gets time back.

03
IMPROVE

We fix / improve your TA process while the hiring runs.

ATS hygiene. Structured interview frameworks. Compensation benchmarking. Hiring-manager coaching. Most of these compound — fix them once, they save time on every hire after.

04
HAND OVER
(or pause)

When you're ready to bring recruiting fully in-house, we help you find and train your internal recruiters.

They start with all the institutional knowledge we built. If you'd rather pause and call us back next quarter, that works too. The engagement bends around your hiring, not a contract.

Hours to productive.
Stays modular.
No lock-in.
05 Scope

The full job, not the first 1/5.

Talk to us about what you need
Everything an agency
won't do.
06 Stays

You keep the hiring system we built.

Every engagement leaves the hiring system itself — intake docs, scorecards, ATS, frameworks, playbook, pipeline. Run the next ten hires without us, or call us back when hiring picks up. Either way, you own what we built.

Pricing built around the work — not a full agency cut.

You mainly pay for the work: an hourly rate for the embedded recruiting, plus a reduced success fee per hire. Flexible structures scoped to your needs and budget: transparent, and better value than the agency model. No multi-year contracts. On or off anytime.
