Beyond agencies and RPO: Why embedded talent is reshaping recruitment
When hiring demand spikes then drops, costs feel like a rollercoaster, and internal teams are stretched thin, it becomes hard to run recruitment in a consistent, scalable way. Embedded talent solves that. At Vermelo, our recruiters sit inside your business – on your systems, in your stand-ups, alongside your hiring managers – but are employed and supported by us, giving you predictable recruitment costs, reduced reliance on agencies, access to premium sourcing tools and market insight, and a consistent, on-brand candidate experience that builds a stronger, more data-led talent function rather than just plugging gaps.

Discover why traditional methods are falling short — and how Vermelo’s embedded RPO is reshaping the future of talent acquisition.
