What is Embedded Recruitment?
Embedded recruitment is a flexible, fractional hiring model where Finch Talent Solutions operates as an extension of your internal team.
Ongoing Hiring Demand
Consistent or project-led hiring requirements that need ongoing attention, not one-off recruitment support.
Scaling Teams
Growing teams where hiring needs increase quickly and internal capacity can’t always keep up.
Better Structure & Consistency
A need for clearer hiring processes, ownership, and consistency across multiple roles or stakeholders.
Reducing Agency Reliance
Bringing recruitment capability closer to the business to reduce cost, noise, and dependency on multiple agencies.
How Embedded Recruitment Works

Market Insight
Honest, real-time feedback on candidate availability, salary expectations, timelines, and hiring risk, supporting informed decision-making.
Role Scoping & Planning
Roles are properly scoped upfront, with clear understanding of requirements, timelines, and success criteria — avoiding wasted time and misaligned searches.
Cost & Commercials
Delivered on a flexible, monthly fractional model, aligned to your hiring needs. Providing predictable cost without the overhead of a full-time hire or heavy agency spend.
Delivery

When To Use Each Hiring Model
Contingent Recruitment
Best suited when:
-
You have a clearly defined role with agreed salary and scope
-
Speed matters and the hire is business-critical
-
You want market access without upfront commitment
-
Internal teams need external reach or short-term support
Commercial Model:
Success-based fee, payable only on placement.
Retained Search
Best suited when:
-
The role is senior, specialist, or hard to replace
-
Market mapping and discretion are required
-
You need dedicated search focus and stakeholder management
-
Hiring risk is high and precision matters more than speed alone
Commercial Model:
Structured fee paid in stages, aligned to search milestones.
Embedded Recruitment
Best suited when:
-
Hiring demand is ongoing or project-led
-
Internal capability needs strengthening, not replacing
-
You want consistent process, ownership, and visibility
-
Reducing agency reliance is a long-term goal
Commercial Model:
Fixed monthly or day rate, aligned to agreed capacity and scope.
Contingent recruitment is about speed. Retained recruitment is about precision. Embedded recruitment is about long-term hiring capability
