The best model depends on how much you are hiring and how critical the roles are. Contingent recruitment is the lowest-commitment way to start: you only pay when we place someone, so it suits one-off hires or trialling us. Embedded recruitment (RPO) is for hiring at volume, a dedicated recruiter works inside your team and owns the pipeline for a predictable monthly fee.
Retained search is for the hires you cannot get wrong, engineering leaders, staff engineers and hard-to-find specialists, where you need full market coverage and a committed, dedicated process. Whichever model you choose, the screen is the same: we technically assess every candidate ourselves before they reach you, so your interview time goes on people who can genuinely do the job. Not sure which fits? Talk to us and we will recommend the right approach for your stage.
