The founders and revenue leaders we work with don’t struggle with knowing WHO they need. They struggle with TIME. - The time to define. - The time to align. - The time to find. Our clients say: “I didn’t truly have the time to invest into recruiting” “We just don’t have the time to filter through loads of CVs” “Every hour counts… I didn’t have the capacity to screen candidates” “It was taking me away from selling… building the playbook… reporting” "We'd been looking for several months, and were just spinning our wheels" That’s what it actually looks like. You just don’t have the time to go and find that top percentile of people to fit the bill. (Most of which will never apply to your job ads) So what happens? You either try to do it yourself or you get sent loads of resumes from recruiters who don't get it And both end up wasting your time. I’ve been there. 12 years inside high-growth tech. 900+ hires across EMEA, APAC and the US. Not as a recruiter, as an operator with £6M+ P&L responsibility. And for the last 6 years, doing the same alongside founders and revenue leaders in growth mode. What they actually want is simple: Someone they trust, to take the early work off their plate and bring them a shortlist of people worth meeting That’s what we do. We act as the finders and the first filter. So you’re not screening CVs or sitting in the wrong interviews. You’re spending your time where it actually matters, meeting high-quality candidates and making decisions. And the people we focus on? Intrapreneurs, the builders, the executors. The Impact Multipliers who raise the standard of everyone around them. The ones who make it happen, find a way and drive momentum. If you’re hiring right now: You don’t need more CVs or more recruiters. You need fewer, better people and the time to focus on assessing and converting them. If that sounds familiar, drop us a message. Or just tell us what role(s) you’re struggling to hire right now, we will tell you quickly if we can help.
