Embedded and Fractional Teams

Not every business needs a full-time Head of Talent. And not every hiring challenge warrants a retained search firm. There is a lot of space in between, and that is where embedded and fractional delivery works best.

Oxwana provides senior talent professionals who operate as part of your team for as long as you need them. Not on the periphery as an external consultant, but inside the business, accountable to your leadership, and working to your processes.

Fractional Head of Talent

If your business is scaling but not yet at the point where a full-time TA leader makes commercial sense, a fractional Head of Talent gives you the strategic capacity without the headcount cost.

This is a hands-on role, not an advisory one. The fractional lead owns the hiring strategy, manages any internal or external recruiters, and is accountable to the business for outcomes. You get the experience of a senior hire at a fraction of the total cost.

This model works particularly well for businesses between Series A and Series C, for PE-backed portfolio companies going through post-acquisition integration, and for industrial businesses managing significant project ramp-ups without the internal structure to support them.

Embedded Recruiters

For businesses with high hiring volume across a specific project phase, geography, or function, Oxwana can embed one or more recruiters directly into your team. They operate under your brand, use your systems, and are managed as part of your workforce.

The difference from a contingency agency is accountability. Embedded recruiters are incentivised to fill the right roles, not the most roles. They invest time in understanding the business before they start sourcing.

Interim TA Leadership

Between permanent hires, during a restructure, or through a period of significant growth, interim TA leadership keeps momentum without a long-term commitment. Oxwana provides experienced practitioners who can step in quickly, stabilise the function, and hand over cleanly when the time comes.
