    August 2017 - May 2021 (3 years and 9 months)
    London, UK
    We are Elements, the pioneers of Embedded Talent Consultancy. We built the model around our very first embedded partners: Spotify and Atlassian. We knew that the traditional, transactional dynamic of the hiring world served neither party well. So we created something entirely different. Focusing on the transformative impact of effective collaboration, we work alongside our partners as trusted consultants. Advising from the inside, our people go deeper, inspiring truly meaningful change. The success of our approach has meant that we've grown quickly. Over the last 10 years, we've worked with brands like iZettle, Booking.com, King & Just Eat. For each partner, we've built a bespoke team of embedded consultants, capable of advising right across their talent functions. Today, Elements is present worldwide, with offices in Kuala Lumpur, Melbourne and Singapore, as well as London. And we've only just started our journey, with offices in Stockholm, Amsterdam, New York and Austin planned for 2019 and beyond. Embedded is the future, and we're its leaders.
