This FAQ section gives you clear, straightforward answers so you can evaluate whether our approach is the right fit for your hiring goals.

Below you’ll find concise explanations of how we operate, what you can expect, and why more companies are shifting to embedded recruitment as a smarter, more cost-effective alternative to agency-driven hiring.
