01
How it works

Your own TA team, without building one.

Contingent fees add up quickly when you're hiring every month, and a single freelance recruiter can only cover so much. Embedded Talent Solutions puts a dedicated pobl team inside your business, working in your hiring systems and alongside your hiring managers, with the medcomms market knowledge and live network a freelancer won't have.

Fees

One monthly fee, plus placements.

A fixed monthly fee covers the whole embedded team. Each hire then carries a reduced placement fee, well below a contingent agency's.

40%+

Less than contingent fees, at two hires a month*

The more you hire, the more you save. Each placement costs at least £9k less than a typical contingent fee, so over a six-month term the subscription breaks even at around six hires.

*Midweight roles up to £60k, against contingent fees of 20% of salary. Senior roles usually carry higher agency fees. All figures exclude VAT.

Guarantee

Guaranteed to the end of probation

Every placement is covered until the end of probation, with a like-for-like replacement or a credit to use against other hiring needs.

We'll model the cost against your current agency spend before you commit, based on your actual hiring plan.
