We already work with agencies. Why change?
Keep them if they are working. The full side-by-side is on the vs-agency page. The usual reasons firms move are cost at volume, because percentage fees compound across a hiring year, and continuity, because a matched specialist learns the business in a way a rotating agency panel does not. We do the same work an agency does, including executive search, without the percentage of salary.
Will this step on our HR team?
No, and it is designed not to. The specialist works inside your process and your systems, the HR team keeps ownership of the candidate experience and the offer, and the portal gives them oversight of every search rather than another tool to administer. Embedded recruiters in particular exist to add capacity to an HR function, not to compete with it.
Can you handle volume, not just single searches?
Yes. Volume is what embedded recruiters and campaigns are for: an embedded recruiter works a full slate of roles on a day rate, and a campaign fills a pipeline when the local market does not hold the skill. Both are scoped and priced before they start, and both report in the portal as they run.
We are a professional services firm. Do you cover our roles?
The bench covers ten human capital disciplines and the specialists on it include executive search practitioners who have worked in and for professional services. Fee-earner hiring, support functions and leadership searches are all briefs we can match. If a brief sits outside what the bench genuinely holds, we say so rather than matching loosely.
What does it cost against what we spend now?
Per search, a day rate, or a scoped project, agreed in writing before work starts. The comparison that matters is against your current percentage fees at your actual hiring volume, and that is a ten-minute exercise with real numbers: bring last year's agency spend to the first conversation and we will do it with you.
