SUBSCRIPTION-BASED TALENT ACQUSITION FOR SCALING COMPANIES.
Own your hiring process without the headcount. We take full ownership of recruitment fast placements, built systems, lasting capability.
HOW WE PARTNER WITH YOU.
THE GAP WE FILL We work with growing companies that need strong hiring capability fast, but want to keep things simple and predictable. Specifically, we partner with:
• Startups without a dedicated hiring function, who need immediate momentum and structure.
• Series A–B scaleups with lean Talent teams, who need extra capacity on priority roles without adding permanent headcount.
PHASE 1We embed within a week and take full ownership of hiring. Working directly with founders, we move fast, define roles clearly, and close high-impact hires end-to-end.
Plug in and deliver
PHASE 2We build your hiring function while delivering results. From role scorecards and interview frameworks to ATS optimisation, candidate experience, onboarding foundations, and scalable hiring playbooks.
Build the engine 
PHASE 3Build lasting capabilityWe strengthen your long-term hiring capability by leaving you with clear systems, shared ways of working, and a proven playbook your team can run with. You finish the engagement faster, more capable, and better equipped to hire well, long after we step back.
WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT IN-HOUSE EXPERIENCE. FULL FLEXIBILITY.

→ Ownership from role definition through onboarding
→ Weekly updates and full pipeline visibility
→ Best-in-class tools included at no extra cost
→ Real market intelligence on salaries and talent
→ Better candidate experience, stronger retention and brand

Hiring at pace needs clarity, ownership and momentum. Our process is structured, clearly scoped, and actively managed from start to finish.
-
We start with a focused session to align on the role, your team, and what great looks like in your world setting the stage for high-impact hiring from day one.
-
We map out the approach: ideal profile, search criteria, sourcing channels, interview process, timelines and benchmarks
-
We run a full search combining smart sourcing, inbound management, and personalised outreach. Every shortlisted candidate is video-interviewed, tracked in our ATS, and delivered with detailed feedback
-
We submit a curated shortlist of 4–6 strong candidates , all fully screened, video interviewed, and aligned with your brief. Each comes with detailed insights, not just a CV.
-
We manage expectations on both sides, support offer conversations, handle negotiation, and make sure the right person says yes.
-
We don’t place and disappear. We stay close through notice periods and onboarding to ensure a smooth start for both sides. That means regular check-ins with candidates, supporting managers with feedback, and addressing any bumps early. The result: stronger retention, better candidate experience, and hires that stick.
