Embedded Talent Partner

How it works

A clear, straightforward way of working.

I work as part of your business, on site or remote, for a fixed monthly fee. No placement fees. Candidates prefer to hear from the employer directly, and with me they do.

Many businesses already rely on a part-time accountant or bookkeeper. Recruitment can work the same way: planned, consistent and handled by someone who understands your business, rather than addressed only when a vacancy arises.

01
Getting to know your businessWe start with a conversation about your hiring plans, your teams and what makes your business a good place to work.
02
Agreeing your monthly daysYou choose a set number of days each month: one fixed, predictable cost, for as long as you need me.
03
Recruiting as your businessI recruit as Talent Partner for your company. Candidates deal with you from the first call, and your name gets the credit.
04
Building your talent poolBetween vacancies, I build a pool of people who'd like to work for you, so the next role starts with people already interested.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

How does this differ from using a recruitment agency?

I work as part of your business, recruiting under your company name for a fixed monthly fee, with no placement fees, so candidates deal directly with you.

Is this the same as a fractional recruiter?

In part, yes: you have an experienced recruiter for a set number of days each month, without a full-time salary. The difference is that I'm embedded in your business, recruiting under your company name as part of your team, so candidates deal with you from the first call.

How quickly can you start, and how long does a hire take?

I can usually start soon after our first conversation, once we've agreed your days. How long a hire takes depends on the role and the market, so I'll give you a realistic timeframe for each vacancy at the start and keep you updated throughout.

Who owns the candidates and data?

Your business does. All candidate records, pipelines and talent pools belong to you, and stay with you if our arrangement ends.

Can the service be scaled up or down?

Yes. I offer two or four days a month, and extra days can be added in busier months by agreement. You can adjust or end the arrangement with one month's notice.

What happens if the arrangement isn't working?

We'll talk it through openly and agree any changes needed. If it's still not the right fit, it can be ended with no penalty. You can also try me on a single vacancy first, paid only if I'm successful, before committing to a monthly package.
