Frequently asked questions

How do you sell embedded talent acquisition through outbound?+

By leading with flexible hiring capacity rather than a single placement. Messaging tied to scaling and funding signals reaches people leaders when they need to grow headcount fast without adding permanent recruiters.

Is cold calling more effective than cold email?+

Neither wins on its own. Phone reaches buyers who ignore email and email reaches buyers who never pick up. A coordinated program uses both against the same target list.
