Embedded Hiring
Not an agency on the outside sending CVs in. An extension of your team, sitting inside the business, owning the hiring function end to end.
Every startup hires differently. Some need someone to build the machine from scratch. Others have the machine but need more firepower. The embedded model flexes to fit -- but the commitment to quality and ownership stays the same.
Scaling Firepower
You already have a hiring function -- internal recruiters, maybe an HR lead, a clear structure. But you have more roles than your team can handle, or a specific vertical where you need specialist focus.
This model plugs directly into what exists. Sophie works alongside your internal team, picks up the brief, and adds velocity without disrupting the process you've already built.
Best for companies that have structure in place and need speed, depth, or specialist knowledge in a particular hiring area.
Founding / On-Site Embedded
There is no hiring function yet. You might be a founding team of three with a seed round and a need to build an engineering team from zero. Or you're opening a new office and need someone to own the entire process.
This is hands-on, foundational work -- writing job specs, defining the hiring bar, sourcing, screening, coordinating, closing. Sitting in the office with the founding team, understanding the culture as it forms, and making sure every early hire counts.
Best for pre-seed to Series A companies building teams from the ground up, or established companies launching into new markets or verticals.
