OUR APPROACH
An embedded team,
owning the full hiring lifecycle.
SecureVision embedded a team of 5 senior recruiters, plus a delivery lead, into Affirm's existing recruiting operation - operating as part of Affirm's team and owning the full recruiting lifecycle form sourcing to offer.
5 senior recruiters + 1 delivery lead
Embedded directly into Affirm's existing recruiting organization,
working as an extension of their team rather than an outside vendor.
Full lifecycle, sourcing to offer
The embedded team operated as part of Affirm's team and owned the
complete recruiting lifecycle - not a single stage handed off to an internal recruiter.
Aligned closely with hiring managers
Partnered directly with hiring managers to stay aligned on
evolving talent needs and shifting priorities across the entire 12-month engagement.
Embedded, not outsourced
A delivery lead was provided to ensure execution quality, speed,
and a strong candidate experience across both U.S. and Poland markets.
