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 1

We 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 2

We 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 3
Build lasting capability

We 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.

We come from inside the business. Unlike traditional recruiters, we've built hiring functions from the ground up. We understand what actually works operationally, not just how to fill roles quickly. That means we're building systems you can scale with, not just placing candidates

→ 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

WHY SUBSCRIPTION BASED TA

LOWER COST, FASTER IMPACT, NO LONG-TERM LOCK-IN.

Working with Wolven Partners gives you senior hiring execution with a predictable monthly cost and full flexibility.

Predictable monthly cost

One clear monthly retainer you can plan around, instead of multiple agency invoices tied to salary percentages.

Full flexibility

We flex with your hiring spikes so you don’t have to add permanent headcount before you’re ready.

Immediate start

We embed with your team within two weeks, align on priorities, and take ownership of live roles so hiring starts moving immediately.

Better candidate experience

We operate like an internal Talent partner, so messaging, process, and candidate experience stay aligned with your brand.

A hiring system that lasts

We don’t just fill roles. We leave you with scorecards, processes, and a practical playbook your team can keep using.

Dedicated ownership of hiring 

Someone senior sits inside your team to keep momentum high: prioritising roles, driving pipelines, and making sure hiring actually moves from “open” to “closed.”

OUR PROCESS

FROM BRIEF TO HIRE

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.
