Embedded Recruitment: Flexible Recruitment as and when you need it
In today’s fast-changing talent landscape, finding the right recruitment solution can feel like a balancing act — especially for organisations that aren’t quite ready for a full in-house function, or for those who need to inject strategy and scale into an already mature talent team.
Embedded Talent sits in the sweet spot between outsourcing everything and building a permanent in-house team. It gives you direct access to expert recruitment support – flexibly, strategically, and seamlessly. Whether you’re scaling fast, tackling transformation, or simply need to bring more structure to the way you hire, Embedded Talent works the way you need it to work.
At its core, Embedded Talent means having an Embedded Recruitment Partner (or team) working inside your organisation, behind your brand, but employed by us. They feel like part of your team – because they are. They integrate into your culture, understand your goals, and support you at a strategic and operational level to improve your recruitment outcomes. You’ll get tailored expertise, cutting edge tech and decades of experience without the long-term commitment or costs of full TA team. And you’ll only pay for it when you use it or when you need it.
For organisations without a talent team, this is your first step in building a people-focused foundation. For those with an established team, it’s a way to level up your strategy – whether that’s through insight, workforce planning, process improvement or temporary bandwidth.
Start-ups and scale-ups often rely on busy hiring managers or HR leads to manage recruitment on top of their day job. There’s rarely time to take a step back and build a strategy, implement structure, or think about long-term talent needs – especially when growth is the priority.
That’s exactly where an Embedded Talent Solution makes the difference.

The recruitment landscape is evolving. Budgets are under pressure, hiring needs are shifting, and organisations are being asked to do more with less. At the same time, the need for top talent hasn’t gone away – if anything, it’s become more urgent.
That’s why Embedded Talent is such a powerful solution. It helps you take control of recruitment in a way that fits your business today – and supports your ambitions for tomorrow.
Whether you’re hiring for today or planning for the future, Embedded Talent gives you the ability to do it better, faster, and more confidently – without having to build a team from the bottom up.
At Omni, we know that no two organisations are the same – which is why no two Embedded Talent solutions are either. We build a model around what you need, whether that’s a full recruitment partner, support on a hiring push, or strategic talent insight.

Very. You choose the level of support, duration, and areas of focus – whether that’s day-to-day hiring, talent strategy, employer branding or all of the above. With Embedded Talent, you only pay for what you need, when you need it.

Embedded Talent Solutions offer flexibility, cost efficiency, and access to expert recruitment support without the commitment of a full RPO. You get high-quality hiring expertise, tailored to your needs, with the ability to scale up or down as your business changes.
