How FinTech scale-up Mollie achieved high-growth hiring with flexible Embedded Talent Partners

European FinTech Mollie partnered with Scede following a significant increase in hiring volumes, post their $800m Series C.

With Scede’s flexible Embedded recruitment solution, Mollie was able to scale their internal talent acquisition capability at pace and with quality to keep up with business demand.

The Scede team was able to achieve significant hiring impact while also scaling up into new business areas where demand grew and scaling down once the mission was complete.

I didn’t want to overstaff my permanent TA team during this period of hyper growth. I wanted to find the right partner to act as a flexible extension of our team. Scede offered incredibly capable and passionate recruiters that I could have confidence in
