RPO and Embedded Recruitment for Tech Teams

Scale your hiring with specialist consultants who work inside your team, not alongside it. SODA Max is our RPO and embedded recruitmeent service, built to flex up and down with your demand.

Is an Embedded Hiring Partner Right for You?

  1. Your growth ambitions have outpaced your internal talent team

  2. Your time to hire is too long and you're losing candidates to faster competitors

  3. You are hiring niche skill sets your current process does not reach

  4. You need to reduce cost per hire without slowing down or dropping quality

  5. You want predictable hiring costs you can forecast against

  6. You are scaling into a new market and have no network there yet

If two or more of these sound familiar, an embedded model will usually outperform both agency hiring and a traditional RPO.

Why embedded hiring outperforms traditional RPO

Traditional RPO

  • Runs at arm's length
  • Fixed scope agreed up front
  • Their process, their tools
  • Sized for the plan you signed

Embedded, with SODA Max

  • Works inside your team
  • Scales up and down with demand
  • Your process, your tools, your branding
  • Sized for the hiring you're doing now

What our Clients Say

Trinnovo Group have been unlike any other partners we are working with in bringing the top talent into the business. They go to pains to get to know the business drivers across our wide range of apps, get to know the people, and build an informed opinion on what is going to work and what isn't, overlaying their market expertise with business needs. They are also not concerned with pushing back on directions and having frank debates - something that our radically candid culture values and appreciates hundredfold over salesy 'yes-people'. They get us, know how to come up with intelligent shortcuts to searches, and deploy sass and creativity to deliver, every single time.
