What is an embedded recruiter (recruitment consultant)?

What is an embedded recruiter (recruitment consultant)?

A recruitment consultant is a senior recruiter from Agile Search who works as part of your team, within your recruitment system and your routines. The model is also known as an embedded recruiter, hired recruiter, or Talent Acquisition Consultant. The consultant owns your open roles in the day-to-day work, while you retain control over the process.

How much does it cost?

Agile Search offers three setups. A recruitment consultant costs from 70,000 SEK per month (at 50% capacity). Executive search, or recruitment per role, costs from 150,000 SEK per placement. Interim management starts at 1,600 SEK per hour.

Contingency recruitment suits one or a few roles and is priced per hire. An embedded recruitment consultant works within your team, owns all open roles, and uses your tools and employer brand.
