Hires that grow with the company
We look at what they actually owned, how they decide, and whether they can grow as the company changes.
For companies

Senior and executive search across engineering, product, go-to-market and leadership. We assess the ownership, judgment and capacity to grow that each role requires.

Why this hire is hard
The wrong senior hire costs more than time. It changes what your company can build.
Having done the work before is the easy part to check. What decides the hire is how someone decides, how much they take on without being asked, what they do when the context is missing, and whether they can grow at the speed the company is growing.
The job also changes while you are hiring for it.
What we look for
Four things you get from working with us.
A résumé tells you where someone was standing. This is how we find out what they did there.
A read on the search before sourcing
We review the problem and the stage of the company before we open the search.
A read on the role, before any commitment
Before you commit, we give you a read on where the profile sits in the market, what it pays, what moves candidates and the three questions we would screen with.
Evidence on every candidate
We meet each person before presenting them, and the recommendation separates what we observed, what they owned and what remains to be validated.
How we work
Four steps.
- 01
Understand the company
We learn what the role actually needs to change, how your team operates and what success looks like six months from now.
- 02
Calibrate the bar
We define the evidence, behaviors and trade-offs that matter before opening the search.
- 03
Find and assess
We source globally and test candidates against the actual problem, not only the job description.
- 04
Learn from outcomes
Every hire, pass and miss improves how we calibrate the next search.

Working together
Two ways to work together, depending on the search and the hiring volume.
- Success fee You pay only when you hire.
- All You Can Hire Up to six roles open at the same time, any seniority, with two recruiters dedicated to the account. A monthly fee instead of a percentage.
