Talentful vs agency: Zero commission. Great results.

What makes us different to recruitment agencies?

Traditional recruitment agencies frequently charge high fees and commission for an impersonal service and talent solutions that don’t always match your company culture. At Talentful, we’re not just people on phones. When we work together, it’s the beginning of a partnership. We’ll assign a team to deeply understand your company’s culture and inner-workings, to the same level as an in-house team member. That same team is backed by a globally-established talent network and supercharged by industry-leading generative AI to find you the best talent faster. And more importantly, the talent that will move your business forward.

The result? An all-inclusive, flexible solution that is an extension of your business. At one fixed monthly cost, delivered by people who care.

Talentful: The Embedded RPO Model

Talentful is a bit like an RPO, but different. We call our model “embedded RPO”, because we embed ourselves fully into your business. When you partner with Talentful, you’ll add a team of dedicated, experienced talent acquisition experts to your internal team. This allows them to gain a deep understanding of your business, culture, mission and hiring needs. Approaching recruitment this way means that we don’t need to be motivated by commissions for numbers of hires placed. We’re motivated by finding your business multiple great hires, again and again. 

“When consultants are involved in all three of those things: delivery, stakeholder engagement and project work, I think you get the most out of Talentful.”

Scott Baxter
Talent Acquisition Manager

“So to me, if you’re going through a hyper-growth scale-up process, if you want to match quality, speed and let’s be realistic here, cost, the embedded model is the way to go. I can say that with confidence after working with Talentful.”

Kevin Seay
Global Head of Talent Acquisition

“Something that I’ve found to be super valuable from Talentful is the advice they’ve given us: how to create a very compelling employer value proposition, doing A/B testing with reach-outs to candidates and growth hacks to tap into additional channels.”

Nathan Woo
Head of Engineering

“Talentful not only brings top-tier leadership support and TA talent to help get the work done, they care deeply about the how – which resonates and reflects our ability to grow as a company in a thoughtful, representative way.”

Jessica Cummings
Head of Talent Acquisition

“Talentful has not only integrated seamlessly into the team but she has added a huge amount of value to our end-to-end hiring process and ability to hit our goals.”

Katie Quinn
Head of Talent Acquisition EMEA

“Having Talentful on-site as an embedded partner within our business has allowed us to scale quickly, but to grow in the right way and hire great people enabling us to continue our growth for the future.”

Matt Norell
Head of Tech Recruitment
