Why agency hiring gets expensive

Agencies charge you for every hire. The faster you grow, the more you pay.

01

A fee on every hire

Agencies charge a percentage of each new hire's salary. Ten hires means ten invoices, and the bill grows with your headcount.

02

Your roles share a recruiter

An agency recruiter splits their week across many clients. Your roles compete with everyone else's for their time.

03

The knowledge walks out

Candidates meet the agency, not you. What it learns about your market, your roles and your talent pool leaves with it.

Embedded recruitment swaps the per-hire fee for one flat monthly cost. Your recruiter works on your roles only, as part of your team, and everything they build stays with you.

The median software developer in New York earns $166,830 (BLS, May 2025). On a 20% agency fee, that’s about $33,000 in fees for one hire, and about $100,000 for three.

Already have an HR or TA team? Keep them. An embedded recruiter adds capacity when hiring picks up, and scales back down when it doesn’t.

Agency fees compared with a flat monthly feeAgency cost rises with every hire. The embedded recruiter's flat fee stays level, so after the first few hires the gap between them is what you save.Break-evenAgency: a fee on every hireEmbedded: one flat feeWhat you saveHires →Total cost →

No long-term lock-in

Turn it up, down or off, as your hiring changes.

Hiring isn’t steady, so your recruitment cost shouldn’t be fixed for years. Add recruiters for a hiring push, scale back when it’s done, and pay only for the support you need, when you need it.

Questions

Before you book.

How does embedded recruitment work?

A dedicated Talent Acquisition Specialist joins your business as part of your team. They manage sourcing, screening, interviews, stakeholder coordination and reporting. You get the impact of an in-house recruiter with the speed, networks and structure of an external partner.

How is this different from a recruitment agency?

We replace percentage-based fees with a flat monthly subscription. Instead of charging per hire, we work as an extension of your internal team, with full transparency, structured reporting and measurable KPIs. You get predictable spend, higher throughput and a significantly lower cost per hire.

What does it cost?

A flat monthly fee, agreed up front, with no placement fees on top. It depends on how many roles and recruiters you need. On the strategy call we compare it against what you'd pay an agency for the same hires, so you can see the difference before you decide anything.

What savings can we expect?

Clients typically save up to 70% against traditional agency fees. The subscription model removes commissions, cuts the time roles sit open, and makes hiring spend far easier to forecast.

Do we have to sign a long-term contract?

No. The model is deliberately flexible. You can scale up or down as hiring demand changes, with short-term options for urgent or project-based hiring.

How quickly can we get started?

Most engagements begin within one week, depending on recruiter availability. Once onboarded, your Talent Acquisition Specialist starts sourcing straight away.

Can you work in our ATS?

Yes. Before day one your recruiter is set up with access to your ATS and job boards, and a recruitment email address under your brand, so candidates deal with your company throughout.

We already have an in-house TA team. Is this for us?

It often is. Your embedded recruiter works alongside them, adding capacity for a hiring push or taking on the roles they can't get to, and scales back down when the push is over.

What types of roles do you fill?

Corporate, technical, operational and specialist roles, from high-volume hiring to senior appointments. Your recruiter adapts to your hiring needs and your industry.

What industries do you recruit for?

Technology, finance, engineering, healthcare, hospitality, professional services, manufacturing and more. Our recruiters bring broad and deep market experience that adapts to your sector.

Why do you need direct access to our hiring managers?

Because it's how roles get filled quickly. Talking to the hiring manager lets us tailor the search to what they actually need and present the right candidates fast. If that access dries up, we'll pause work on the role rather than send you activity that goes nowhere.

See what you’d save on your next hires.

Answer a few questions and book a 30-minute strategy call. We’ll go through your hiring plan, compare the cost against agency fees for the same hires, and tell you straight whether embedded recruitment fits.

Takes two minutes. No obligation.
