MODEL: SECURE

Built for the most challenging hires in your roadmap.

Secure gives you certainty when looking to make senior appointments, target narrow talent pools, hire in talent-scarce locations, or close vacancies you've had open too long. You unlock highest priority resource, full passive market coverage, and a search that runs to completion.

Once you're running multiple searches across several disciplines at the same time, individual search partnerships stop being efficient. Briefing agencies per role creates duplicated outreach, increased admin, inconsistent candidate experience, and a version of your employer brand that's shaped by whoever happened to reach a candidate first.

The alternatives have their own limitations. Building an internal TA team takes three to six months to ramp, requires tooling investment, and builds networks from scratch. Headcount is permanent and capacity fixed.

And a generalist talent function struggles against hyper-specialist candidate markets – ML infrastructure, robotics systems, defence-cleared engineering – exactly where we have networks and heritage.

A traditional embedded recruiter provides single-person coverage across all areas. One network, one point of failure when volume increases, and no depth in any specific discipline.

Embed is built to address the inefficiencies in these solutions, and give you a lower-cost-per-hire, higher-quality recruitment solution.

How Embed works.

Most embedded models put a recruiter on your team. Our embedded model gives you a minimum of one specialist per function you’re hiring into, each coming with a network built specifically around that discipline. So the people hiring for your applied ML engineer roles, for example, have already spent their entire careers building relationships with those ML engineers.

We appoint a dedicated performance manager to act as your single point of contact, and provide you total pipeline visibility through a bespoke candidate management platform tailored to your processes.

Flow of talent

What you get.

Dedicated performance manager

One person owns stakeholder relations end-to-end. They coordinate with our internal recruitment experts across every open role, manage the pipeline, and report back to your business on progress and process efficiency.

Specialist recruiters appointed by discipline

At least one specialist per discipline you’re recruiting for, so each area of your hiring is worked by someone with active networks operating inside that market.

Always-on pipelining

Pipelines grow and stay warm between active searches, so when a new requirement opens, candidates are already identified, engaged, tracked, and ready for your review.

Proprietary talent management platform

An ATS configured to your processes and visible to all relevant stakeholders. Real-time reporting, and optimised over time as we build a deeper understanding of your business and the talent you need.

Ongoing market intelligence

A view of the passive and active talent markets for all your searches, including within target competitor companies, so you can formulate standout offers and understand the most likely routes to success.

Reduced internal workload

A full-scope talent engine means dramatically reduced administration on your side. Your leaders are relieved of the majority of talent-related responsibilities, and you focus on other business-critical activities.

Role scoping and realignment throughout

We know search parameters change based on internal decision making, product progress, or market conditions. We'll work with you to assess and re-assess where necessary, providing evidence-based rescoping if requirements need to shift.

Heavily reduced cost-per-hire

A monthly commitment unlocks our most favourable cost-per-hire rate, ideal for high-growth firms projecting several hires.
