We get to know your business and your mission

Building the search strategy
Together, we define who your ideal persona is, where they may come from, and what kind of product have they brought to market.
Salespeople can specialize in different contract values and cycle lengths.
Marketeers need to be able to do more with less, working closely with the sales teams and often carrying quota themselves.
We reach out to candidates with custom messaging.
This is the only way to break through the noise as your competition try to hire the same talent.
- 90% of our hires have come from personalised outreach as opposed to job board applications
- One in five candidates we reach out to ends up in a hiring process (three times more than average!)

We conduct thorough first round interviews.
Before we get into the technical aspects of a candidate's experience, we first ensure that the candidate has the right values and ethics to excel at your company.

Technical assessments
We don't just take the resume for granted, we test the candidates on real-world skills.
For salespeople, we deeply understand their success through carefully calibrated questions designed to uncover true performance
We test their knowledge of their competition, their resolve and how they deal with various objections.
For marketing we dive deep into past campaigns, understanding the outcomes achieved and how data-driven their process was

We take references early
We believe that references are as important as interviews.
A great way to understand a candidate's skill is to ask their colleagues!
We conduct reference calls early in the process.

We present the candidates
Each candidate goes through an executive search level of diligence before being presented to you.
That way, you save a huge amount of time, interviewing only the very best.

We make everything else easy
We look after the candidates throughout the entire process, making sure their experience is at an exceptional level, regardless of whether or not they get the job.
Our values
Values are central to our service. We guard our values religiously because they form the basis of what we do.

Urgency - every second matters.

If there is anything bocking you from getting that great hire, we will be up front and honest, even if the truth sometimes hurts.

Responsiveness - We communicate pro-actively and clearly
We earn our fees by making your search for greatness feel effortless. We will keep you updated proactively and be there on an ad-hoc basis whenever you need us.

Previously, I founded a tech company and grew it to 300 people and $40m in revenue. Now I want to help other ambitious founders do the same.
Meet the founders
My last company wanted to build up an office in a new country. I took on the challenge, and two years later we had a multi-million dollar business, 120 employees, and the highest profitability in the company.
