Why agency hiring gets expensive
01
Agencies charge a percentage of each new hire's salary. Ten hires means ten invoices, and the bill grows with your headcount.
02
An agency recruiter splits their week across many clients. Your roles compete with everyone else's for their time.
03
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.
How it works
Your recruiter is set up in your systems, briefed by your hiring managers and sourcing for you by day four.
A recruitment email address under your brand, access to your ATS and job boards, and your answers to our hiring questionnaires.
We walk you through what the questionnaires showed, agree two internal champions, and meet your hiring managers.
A deep dive on each role with its hiring manager, to pin down the detail and set expectations.
Your weekly progress report is built, and a weekly review slot goes in the diary.
Job ads go live and sourcing starts. Your recruiter is now actively finding your candidates.

How it compares
| Question | Recruitment agency | Hiring in-house | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How you pay | A percentage of salary, per hire | A full salary, plus benefits and tools | One flat monthly fee |
| Commitment | Per role | Permanent headcount | Flexible: scale up, down or pause |
| Who they work for | Many clients at once | You | You, on your roles only |
| Time to start | Days | Months, once you've hired them | Within a week |
| Whose brand candidates see | The agency's | Yours | Yours |
| Reporting | Varies by agency | Whatever you build | Weekly pipeline reporting |
| When hiring slows | No hires, no help | The salary carries on | Scale back until you need us |
No long-term lock-in
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.
Who we work with
We only take on partnerships we can deliver. No half-measures, no wasted time. Just results.
Someone inside the business who backs the process, unblocks problems and keeps momentum going.
We're the only outside recruitment partner on the roles we work. That means focus, clear messaging to candidates and full accountability.
Regular updates and honest feedback both ways, so we can adapt quickly and avoid delays.
Direct access to the hiring manager, so the search fits the real need and moves fast. We're here to deliver hires, not activity.
Questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Most engagements begin within one week, depending on recruiter availability. Once onboarded, your Talent Acquisition Specialist starts sourcing straight away.
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.
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.
Corporate, technical, operational and specialist roles, from high-volume hiring to senior appointments. Your recruiter adapts to your hiring needs and your industry.
Technology, finance, engineering, healthcare, hospitality, professional services, manufacturing and more. Our recruiters bring broad and deep market experience that adapts to your sector.
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.
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.
