About

A Brit Recruiter with a keen eye on Germany ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช and the US I headhunt the highest calibre Engineering & Deep Tech enthusiasts for the most innovative, upcoming German & US start-ups & scale-ups. From pre-seed to Series C, I help them to effectively scale up their engineering units and build unique hiring strategies that strengthen long-term business planning. I also support early stage founders with mentorship through my work with accelerator & incubator programmes, offering advice and delivering workshops on recruitment topics to prepare them for scaling & investment. In addition, I use my network to connect Business Angels & VCs to interesting startups looking to fundraise within their scope of interest. For the Founders & VCs I work with, I am truly adaptable - operating with a range of collaboration models that are tailored to suit the specific needs of your business/investment interests. Here is also a short overview of my service models * Talent Advisory Consulting & Due Diligence Checks - with Startups & Investors. * Traditional 'Headhunting' Models - Exclusive Partnership or Retained Search. * Outsourced Models - Embedded Talent Partner, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO). * Executive Search for Senior Hires * Technical Project Delivery When collaborating with me you can always expect full commitment to providing an excellent service, whilst also remaining very honest about expectations and keeping an open line of communication at all levels.
