FAQs

Why are you doing Candidate Spotlights?
Not everyone that we interview ends up getting hired - and it doesn't mean that they aren't a great candidate. Some times the exact necessary experience for the role doesn't match up, other times there can be a mismatch in timing or logistics, and, of course, the roles can also just be very competitive.

We want to give the opportunity for folks we think could be a good match for employers to get that chance, even if we're not able to offer it directly in the moment.

I'm a jobseeker, how can I get a Candidate Spotlight?
Our recruiters work efficiently to find qualified candidates. While timing can vary based on the role, you can typically expect hires within 21 days.

Our recruiters are experts at quickly identifying and attracting top talent. We can scale our efforts to meet your hiring demands.
Who are the recruiters?
Our recruiters are seasoned professionals with years of experience in various industries, but mostly in tech. They're trained in the latest recruiting techniques and technologies, and are provided with all the best tools and subscriptions necessary to do their best work.
What if I don't like the recruiter?
We carefully match you with a recruiter suited to your needs. However, if you're ever unsatisfied, we'll work with you to find a better fit.
Why is Typescouts Embedded different than a traditional agency?
Unlike traditional agencies that work from the outside, our recruiters become a true extension of your team. We dive deep into your company's culture and specific hiring needs, resulting in spot-on candidate matches.

Plus, our transparent monthly fee model replaces hefty commission-based fees, saving you significant cash. You get a dedicated recruiting powerhouse without the inflated costs or the "throwaway" approach of traditional agencies.

We hire for a wide variety of roles, including technical positions (developers, engineers), sales, marketing, operations, finance, and more. Our recruiters have diverse expertise.
How does this help me reduce recruiting costs?
Typescouts slashes your recruiting expenses in several ways. First, our flat monthly fee eliminates the steep commissions (typically 20-30% of annual salary) charged by traditional agencies.

You also avoid the fixed costs of full-time recruiters – salaries, benefits, and downtime between hiring pushes. Our flexible model lets you scale up or down as needed, ensuring you only pay for active recruiting.

Plus, our embedded approach leads to better hires faster, reducing the hidden costs of prolonged vacancies and potential mis-hires. In short, you get top-tier recruiting firepower at a fraction of the usual price.
Can you provide extra support for our in-house team?
Yes - we do this often - we're happy to work alongside your in-house team, providing additional resources, expertise, and bandwidth whenever you need it.
