Our forte

With roots in product development, we understand our niche like no one else. We primarily work with teams where speed of development and talent caliber are a top priority and often partner up with like-minded VCs and PEs. We help the world’s most innovative companies identify and recruit progressive talent every step of their growth journey.

How we partner with you

 

Classic Retained Search

On a retained basis, we help you find the best talent across functions, geographies, and levels (mid-senior to the executive level of roles). While our relationships let us work exclusively with the best, our rigorous assessment processes ensure that we shortlist only people who will fit perfectly into your organization.

Best for prioritised roles that require special attention, diligence, representation, confidentiality or adhere to strict timelines.

Fixed Fee Retained Search

Same as a classic retained search with one difference - the search fee is fixed at the start of the process. This allows us to focus better on the candidate journey with no bias. Best for prioritised multi -location or remote roles.

Talent Partner Model

We value building long term relationships, embedding ourselves into the operations of your company. We take on the process end to end across a longer period of time to make sure we help you scale consistently. This allows us to truly understand your company culture and team dynamics, making better selections, and finding the right people faster.

This model only works for companies that take talent acquisition seriously and are ready to commit to bringing in the best people on board.

“Acquiring the right talent is the most important key to growth. Hiring was - and still is - the most important thing we do.”

— Marc Bennioff, Founder, Chairman and co-CEO of Salesforce

Who you will be working with

10+ years in the product and engineering space with companies like BCG and Rocket Internet taught me that having the right people on board is crucial to the success of the venture, and getting these right people at the right time is even more important, especially for early-stage ventures. With the cost of mis-hire ranging between 5-15x of the annual salary, we tend to have an understanding that hiring mistakes may cost you users, funding, and your startup.

I personally work on all searches we take on and manage the process end to end, implementing over a decade of experience in hiring technical talent.

My hands-on approach ensures your optimal market representation and that we are continuing to build great employer brand.

In years of experience, I had placed candidates from companies such as Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Deepsense.ai, and many growth-stage startups from our target market.

Roles we specialise on

We’ve had a pleasure to work on senior and executive searches with companies at different stages of their growth journey and facing diverse challenges to help them get to the next step.
