Talent Acquisition [Tech(SaaS)/Climate-Tech/Sustainability] I help companies hire amazing talent & people make their careers incredible (ExMeta&Zoom)

London, England, United Kingdom

About

I’ve been in talent acquisition since 2010 and have hired for Fin-tech, HR SaaS, Asset Management and large corporates like Meta and Zoom, but these days I support SaaS, Climate and Tech start-ups with their talent needs. I help companies hire amazing talent by starting my own talent firm that specialises not only in leadership roles but also doesn't follow the model of every other recruitment agency. Bringing you 15+ years of experience globally, and bringing a strong partnership to deliver exceptional results in complex markets within tech, SaaS and climate-tech. * Are you struggling to hire exceptional talent for your company? * Don't have enough time to engage with passive talent? * Not finding the right team fit for your team? * Not reaching your company goals as you don't have the right people in place? * Are you expanding into a geography with no network or employer brand? Want to make that urgent hire fast? Let's talk. Get in touch with me directly to discuss how I can help scale your business, or if you are looking to join an exciting company in the SaaS/ Climate-Tech space.
