Embedded people infrastructure
We build your people function, then hand it over.
Two senior operators embed, build how you hire and pay, fill your roles, train the person who runs it, and leave.

01 What it costs
The salary is the cheap part. Getting it wrong is not.
Put in your own numbers. Public Gallup and BLS figures, low end every time.
- Recruiter salaryYour offer$175,000
- Benefits & payroll tax$14.07 per $32.82 of wages (3)$75,023
- Replacing the recruiter0.5× salary, Gallup's floor (1)$87,500
- Replacing 2 of their hires2 × 0.5× salary (1)$175,000
Our fixed fee comes in at less than half the cost of one wrong call — and the function stays with you when we leave. We quote it on the first call, before you commit to anything.
+ your time. Hours spent screening and re-interviewing, and months each seat sits empty, are left out.
- (1) Gallup, "This Fixable Problem Costs U.S. Businesses $1 Trillion": replacing an employee costs 0.5× to 2× salary. We use 0.5×.
- (2) Same study: 52% of voluntary leavers say their manager or company could have kept them.
- (3) U.S. BLS, Employer Costs for Employee Compensation, June 2026: $32.82/hr wages, $14.07/hr benefits incl. payroll taxes.
02 How it runs
Most firms are built to renew. This one is built to finish.

03 Why not the alternatives
Everyone else solves half of the problem.
- Consultants & advisorsDesign the system. Hire no one.
- Recruiting agenciesFill seats. Leave no structure.
- A cofounder, part timeHiring on instinct, after hours.
