We are builders,
who build by helping
you grow.

There is a beauty in partnering with founders directly. Whether it's a creative hire or your first replacement, we love being part of your journey.

How we're
different

Not a CV factory.
A partner who stays.

Part of your team, not your inbox.

We learn your model, culture, and org structure before we go to market, as an extension of your founding team, not an agency sending speculative profiles.

Candidates arrive already sold.

We give them the real detail: your channel mix, your growth story, what it actually feels like to work with you. They arrive informed, not surprised.

Fit over placement.

We pressure test expectations, pace, autonomy, and what success looks like at month six. We advise on structure so the role is attractive and built to last.

Built for talent who can choose.

We work exclusively with founders who support flexible, remote work, because that's where high calibre talent is, and why our introductions convert.

Accountability
We take accountability
for results, with you.

The profiles we bring aren't just people who can do a job. We bring you slightly different visions of your company. Should your Head of Operations have deep supplier relationships in Asia, or someone who thrives in ambiguity and builds from scratch? We ask the questions others don't.

We understand your business model and how a role can evolve over time, shaping the company, not just filling a seat.

If the hire leaves in the first 30 days, we replace them at no charge. Terms apply.
Candidate
confidence

If the shortlist isn't right,
we don't widen.
We ask better.

No artificial pressure. No "pick the best of a bad batch." If you don't feel confident moving forward with anyone we've shortlisted, we keep going, together.

Before we widen the pool
What uncertainty are you trying to resolve?

— the one question we ask first.

That single question, asked together, surfaces three failure modes founders rarely catch in themselves:

  • 01Endless comparison. Each new profile becomes the new yardstick.
  • 02Decision avoidance. "More options" stands in for the harder call.
  • 03False signals dressed as caution. A small worry inflated to justify the pause.

We solve the risk, with you. We don't add more noise.

Reach

Unparalleled reach.

Eight tentacles, three hard signals. Reach without the right response means nothing, these are ours.

10K+

LinkedIn connections

Built one conversation at a time. Reach that compounds quietly, role after role.

80–100%

InMail open rates

Far above the 40–60% industry average. Messages that read like a person, not a pitch.

50%+

Response rates

Multiples of the typical 10–20% reply rate. Replies even from candidates we don't end up placing.

From EEA and Eastern Europe to LATAM, the Philippines, and North America, we recruit where the talent is, not where it's convenient.

Roles &
geography

Most roles.
Any scope.

We take on most roles, not because we've done everything, but because we partner closely enough to understand the scope, requirements, and trajectory. If you know where this role sits in your business plan, we can work from there.

Our role

We represent your interests.
We build through relationships.

Every candidate we speak to carries your story, your values, your ambition, your culture. We are your advocates in the market. But the best placements happen when candidates feel respected too.

Candidates become advocates. Clients become magnets for future talent. The relationship outlasts the placement, and that is by design.

Pricing

Straightforward.
Outcome focused.

As founders ourselves, we don't want surprises, and neither do you. Our pricing reflects scope, seniority, and market. Not a fixed percentage. Not a retainer.
