The partnership journey
We help companies strategically win the war for talent in a rapidly-changing technology landscape by finding A players who want to dedicate their next career step to your company. We support your company in optimizing your presence on the talent market by stepping in as a Talent Partner or assisting you in hiring your next priority role.
We have a process that works. It is time-tested and proven to deliver results. It is fast, accurate, and thorough. This is the process that allows us to go through the full search and find the right match within 4-8 weeks.
Step 1: Free consultation
Intro sessions are 30-minutes in length and are typically conducted 1x1 with the Founder/C-level. The value will be exchanged and insights gained regardless of whether we choose to enter into a partnership.
If we chose to enter into the partnership, I am dedicated 100% to you and your search. You are my Number 1 thought of the day.
Step 2: Onboarding
Onboarding starts with a kick off between all parties involved in the hiring decision.
As a group, we’ll create the candidate scorecard, clearly outlining the responsibilities, qualifications, personality, compensation, benefits, and most importantly, the key business outcomes that define success in the role.
We’ll also define interview flow and roles&responsibilities. This is a critical session to make the search successful.
Step 3: Shortlist
I do 2 levels of screening - the initial call and the deep dive, which can last up to 3h. Those tho pass the deep dive, form a shortlist for the role and represent the best talent on the market that fit out scorecard and that is excited to work for your company at this time.
I prefer to connect over weekly catch up calls so you can feel confident about our pipeline, state of the market and any feedback. I also share a live Kanban board with all candidates that we consider.
Step 4: Assessment
Your turn to meet the talent! Being that we’ll provide you with such an in-depth view of who these candidates are ahead of time, these conversations will prove to be some of the most enjoyable interviews you’ve conducted in your life.
Being that all sides will have been pre-closed ahead of time using hypothetical offers and acceptances, you can expect the negotiation and transition to be smooth.
A personal and humanistic approach to talent and our commitment to putting our clients first enables us to identify the best people for every role through processes that are robust, transparent, and honest.
“Whatever it takes” attitude
You must be committed to securing the strongest talent available, that traditional HR processes and protocols are secondary to your objective here. Best candidates call for fast processes.
If hiring the right individual for your team is not on your priority list, we won’t work with you.
Client Eligibility Criteria
Our Values are respect, collaboration, and trust. These have to be observed in both founders and candidates we represent. The decision-making team has to participate from the start - if the role is not a priority for you, we will not take it. This is the approach which allows us to offer our 12-month guarantee and represent A players on the market, finding your dream team member in 1-2 months.
Before we kick things off, let’s invest a few minutes getting acquainted to ensure we’ll be a good fit.
Integrity
Your word and signed fee agreement must be your bond of integrity. The clients we work with build long-term partnerships with us, steering clear of “vendor type” relationship.
I am here to help you build your business. All challenges related to the role we will solve together.
Decision team participation from the start
Your decision team must participate in our onboarding workshop and define the scorecard with us to avoid any surprises and wasteful activities on both sides.
The Number 1 mistake made during the hiring process is the hiring authority not clearly defining what they want the new recruit to accomplish.
Let’s Work Together
Feeling ready to scale? We’re always happy to hear from new ventures, especially from VC/PE funds we have existing relationships with.
Get in touch and we’ll set up an exploratory call to discuss:
Your strategic goals over the next 12 months, and talent gaps you’ll need to fill to get there with absolute confidence.
On that call, should we both determine we’d be good potential partners, we’ll set up the 2nd call to discuss the specifics of your most pressing role(s) and sort out how we can create value together.
