01
The 22-point playbook
Built from a blank page for the specific role. Calibrated with your hiring lead on the first call. Visible to your team from the next morning.
Pilot Program
Five working days.One role.Yours to keep.
Most companies have not worked with an embedded recruiting partner before. A conversation does not show what is different about the model. A week of real work does.
Why we run a pilot
An unfamiliar modeldeserves a working trial.
FoundHuman uses the vocabulary of agency recruiting: sourcing, vetting, shortlisting, and candidate management. The structure is closer to an internal recruiting team. The difference is hard to convey on a sales call. It becomes legible during the first week of work.
We have run this model for ten years in one vertical. We know what a week of our work produces and we are willing to show it to a company that has not used an embedded partner before. Most pilots continue into a full engagement. Some do not, which is a clean answer to a question both sides should ask early.
The pilot is not a promotional discount. It is the most credible way to demonstrate a method that has no obvious comparable in the market.
What runs during the week
The full operating system,compressed into five days.
02
The FoundHuman OS dashboard
Pipeline, candidate scoring, channel performance, and time-to-fill. Updated as the work happens rather than summarized at the end of the week.
03
The dedicated team
A senior operator runs the search. A sourcer, a scheduler, and a candidate manager run the cycle. The same structure as a paid engagement.
04
The weekly standup
Thirty minutes with your hiring lead at the end of the week. Pipeline review, candidate readouts, and a recommendation on what to do next.
How the week runs
Fifteen minutes to start.The rest is execution.
The same operating cadence as any other engagement, scoped to a single working week. No multi-call sales process before the work begins.
- 01
Intro call
Fifteen minutes. You describe the role and the situation. We describe how we would run it.
- 02
Calibration
Thirty to forty-five minutes with your hiring lead. We pressure-test the playbook against the actual mandate before sourcing begins.
- 03
Execution
Five working days. Sourcing across three channels, scored against the rubric, with daily progress visible in the dashboard.
- 04
Debrief
End of week. Pipeline review, candidate readouts, and comparative notes against the bar you set in calibration.
- 05
What stays
The playbook, the scorecards, the candidate notes, and the dashboard remain yours. Continuation is optional.
Start the pilot
The cost of the pilot is ours.The output is yours.
A fifteen-minute call is the only thing required to begin. We use it to learn the role and the situation. By the end of that call, we agree on whether the pilot makes sense and when to start.
