What it is

Not an agency. An extension of your team.

We work closely with the senior hiring managers in your business, understanding each individual role in detail and ensuring every candidate we submit is fully briefed and has a clear understanding of your requirements.

This is not transactional recruitment. It's a fully integrated model that offers salary benchmarking, advice on your interview process, candidate pipelining for future projects, and IR35 risk management if you engage contractors.

We can provide a full talent-acquisition function without the long-term commitment. Whether you're a 300-person business needing a full permanent and contract management resource, or a smaller business looking for a few key hires, we can help.

  • Your brand

    We represent your brand in the marketplace, offering visibility and access to the best available talent.

  • Your process

    We work with and help manage your interview process, ensuring a smooth path to offer acceptance.

  • One team

    A dedicated account manager who works exclusively with you as your point of contact.

  • Fixed costs

    Flexible fixed monthly costs, plus discounted contractor management fees.

How it works

Embedded from day one, delivering within weeks.

  1. Embed & understand

    We start by meeting your senior hiring managers to get a clear picture of your business: the team, the culture and the hiring challenges.

  2. Represent your brand

    We go to market as an extension of you, representing your company with a credible story that attracts the right engineers.

  3. Build your pipeline

    Current live roles are filled and future ones mapped, reducing time-to-hire and keeping the process efficient.

  4. Report & refine

    Regular reporting on pipeline, market and progress, with the flexibility to scale your costs up or down depending on project requirements.

Who it's for

Built for growing MEP businesses with project-critical hiring demand.

Embedded works best when hiring is regular rather than occasional. If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a conversation.
