Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question that isn't here?

Our Talent partner integrates directly into your team for a minimum of 3 months on full-time or part-time basis. We act as an extension of your internal HR or Talent Acquisition department. This allows us to work closely with your hiring managers and adapt our strategies to fit your specific needs, culture, and goals.

What is embedded recruitment?

Unlike traditional recruitment agencies, which operate externally, our embedded recruiters become a part of your team. We provide a personalised hiring experience for candidates and hiring managers throughout the process. There is no commission per hire as we offer a fixed monthly cost for each talent partner we onboard.

How does embedded recruitment differ from traditional recruitment?

Embedded recruitment is ideal for start-ups, scale-ups, and growing companies that need to scale their teams quickly but may not have the internal resources to manage high-volume hiring. It’s also beneficial for businesses going through a growth phase, companies looking to improve their recruitment processes, or those seeking to attract niche or hard-to-find talent.

What types of companies benefit from embedded recruitment solutions?

At Nelly Works, we offer a wide range of recruitment services, including:

  • Talent Acquisition Strategy and Planning

  • Direct Sourcing of Active and Passive Candidates

  • Employer Branding and Candidate Experience Enhancement

  • Developing Inclusive Hiring Practices

  • Market Insights and Salary Benchmarking

  • Onboarding and Integration Support

What services does Nelly Works provide as part of embedded recruitment?

Our typical engagement starts with a 3-month contract, but we also offer longer-term partnerships of 6-12 months depending on your needs. This flexibility ensures that we can adapt to your growth plans and hiring timelines, providing the right level of support throughout your recruitment journey.

How long is a typical engagement with Nelly Works?

Absolutely. We are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in the hiring process. Our talent partners can help you develop strategies to attract diverse talent, implement unbiased recruitment processes, and create an inclusive environment that appeals to a broad range of candidates. We also deliver unconscious bias training for managers.

Can you help us with diversity and inclusion in hiring?

Once we have a signed agreement in place, we can typically be operational within two weeks (often sooner). This allows time for us to align on your hiring needs, understand your company culture, and integrate seamlessly with your existing team.

How quickly can you start working with us?

We operate a remote-first model, but our recruiters can work on-site with you for 2-3 days a week if needed. This flexibility allows us to provide the support that best fits your team’s needs and preferences, whether that means collaborating face-to-face or virtually.

Do you offer remote or on-site support?

Our pricing is based on the number and level of recruiters you need, as well as the length of the engagement. We offer transparent, monthly pricing with options for discounts on longer-term partnerships. To get a custom quote, please contact us directly.

How does pricing work for your embedded recruitment services?

We specialise in tech and digital industries, but our experienced team has worked across various sectors, including FAANG, SAS, deep tech and more. Our focus is on finding top talent that aligns with your company’s specific needs and growth plans.

What industries do you specialise in?

By partnering with Nelly Works, you can expect:
