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.

Meet the founders

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.
When I started that business, I didn't understand the importance of hiring great people. I made a lot of mistakes and ended up working a lot more than I needed to.
With a lot of research, support and trial & error, I built a hiring process based on hiring the top 1% of talent.
The business grew faster, my 30-person engineering team had a <5% annual churn and I finally got some spare time.

FAQs
How much does your service cost?
For short-term startup hiring projects, we charge a flat rate of 12% of each hire's first-year salary. This could be lower if the project is larger.
What functions do you specialise in?
Berg Search has startup recruitment professionals with experience across functions.
We split our hiring teams into three practices
- Product, Tech, and Data
- Sales and Marketing
- Central Functions
Your hiring team will therefore depend on the types of people that you hire
Why is Berg better than a traditional recruitment agency?
Berg Search believes in long-term relationships, great service, and fair pricing.
- Berg Search is as much as 50% cheaper than traditional afencies and in some cases cheaper than a 100% internal talent function as well
- Recruitment partners represent your brand to candidates. Some recruitment agencies are opaque about how they interact with candidates which could risk your employer brand. We record every single interview and make it available to you. This leads to ultimate transparency
- We focus specifically on growth companies because the mindset required to be successful in startups is fundamentally different. Most traditional agencies are used to traditional companies because there is a lot more of them!
- Berg Search shares all our processes because our goal isn't to profit maximise, it's to help you become great.
What types of companies work with Berg Search?
Berg Search works almost exclusively with growth companies. This is because the types of people who succeed in growth companies are very different from those who succeed in enterprise companies.
We believe in specialising our interview and assessment approach to those specific candidates.
