Your recruiter. Your office. Your roles.
There’s a moment most growing companies recognise. You’ve got three, five, maybe eight roles to fill. Your last HR manager just resigned, or you never had one. Your leadership team is too busy to screen CVs, coordinate interviews, and manage offers. You’ve tried a couple of agencies — and you’re drowning in irrelevant profiles with nobody inside the business to manage the process.
The problem isn’t a lack of candidates. It’s a lack of recruitment infrastructure.
A traditional agency sends you people. What you actually need is someone who can run your entire hiring function — sit in your weekly leadership meetings, write your job descriptions, manage your candidate pipeline, brief your hiring managers, and close your offers. Someone who is genuinely inside your world, not just sending emails from the outside.
That’s what Talentreq’s Embedded Recruiter service does.
What Embedded Recruiter does
For a fixed period — one month, three months, or longer — a Talentreq consultant becomes your recruiter. Not an advisor. Not a vendor sending CVs. Your recruiter. Based in your office. On your Slack. In your interview panels. Running your hiring the way an internal TA lead would — but with the network, tools, and technical knowledge of a specialist search firm.
We handle everything from brief to onboarding:
✓ Writing and posting job descriptions
✓ Sourcing and headhunting candidates actively
✓ Screening and assessing technical and cultural fit
✓ Coordinating and sitting in on interviews
✓ Managing offers, negotiations, and counteroffers
✓ Reporting weekly on pipeline status and market feedback
✓ Building your internal hiring playbook as we go
When we leave, you don’t just have the hires. You have a process, a pipeline, and a playbook — so the next time you need to hire, you’re not starting from zero.
Who this service is for
Startups and scale-ups hiring their first technical team
You’ve raised your Series A or B and now need to move fast — 5, 8, maybe 12 technical hires in the next quarter. You don’t have a HR function. You don’t have time to build one. You need someone who can hit the ground running, understands engineering and tech hiring, and can operate independently from day one.
Companies whose HR or TA lead has just resigned
Your head of talent acquisition leaves — often taking institutional knowledge with them — and suddenly you have open roles, no process, and a leadership team with no bandwidth to cover the gap. We step in immediately and keep hiring moving while you figure out the longer-term structure.
MNCs setting up a Singapore or APAC office
You’re expanding into Singapore or Southeast Asia and need to build a local team from scratch. We embed with your regional leadership, handle all the complexity of cross-border hiring, and build your team the right way from the start.
Companies with a project-based hiring surge
You’re commissioning a new plant, launching a new product line, or winning a major contract — and you suddenly need 8 engineers or 10 specialists in four months. Not enough to justify a permanent internal hire. Too many to manage effectively with a traditional agency alone. We step in for the duration of the project and get it done.
