For Employers
A search partner, not a CV pipe
We take on a small number of mandates at a time so each one gets founder-level attention, a real market map and a shortlist you can actually act on.

FAQ
What hiring teams ask us
- What does a GTM recruiter cost?
- Contingent search is a percentage of first-year base salary, payable only on placement. Retained search is staged across kick-off, shortlist and placement. RPO is a fixed monthly fee and works out lowest per hire above roughly five revenue seats a year. We quote before any work begins.
- Contingent, retained or RPO?
- Contingent suits opportunistic individual contributor hires. Retained suits leadership, confidential or hard-to-map searches where you need guaranteed focus and reference depth. RPO suits sustained hiring across a team, with one embedded partner and a consistent assessment bar.
- How quickly will we see candidates?
- A shortlist within 14 days of kick-off on every engagement, and we keep pipelining after it lands so you are never restarting. Median time to signed offer runs from 21 days for an SDR to 71 days for a VP Sales or CRO.
- What happens if the hire does not work out?
- Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If someone leaves inside the guarantee period we run the search again at no further fee. In practice it is rarely used: our fill ratio is 83% and placed hires average 183% quota attainment in their first twelve months.
- Which markets and territories do you cover?
- Cloud and infrastructure, cyber security, DevOps, data and AI. We place across the UK, continental Europe and North America, including native-language seats in DACH, France, the Nordics and Benelux.
- How do you assess candidates before we see them?
- Verified quota, attainment and ranking over three plan years, a deal walk-through against your own motion, technical screening by a specialist where the role needs it, and references taken with former managers rather than nominated referees.
