For Founders & CEOs
Hire your first GTM leaders without burning a quarter of runway on agency fees.
Seed and Series A founders rarely have an in-house TA team, but they need to land a VP Sales, first AEs, and a Head of Marketing fast. We embed as your talent function until you're ready to hire one.
What you're dealing with
The hiring problems this role keeps running into.
No in-house TA team
You're the recruiter, the closer and the CEO. Something has to give, and it's usually pipeline quality.
Agency fees eat runway
22% placement fees on a £180k VP Sales hire is £40k you don't have. Multiply across three roles and the maths breaks.
Your network is tapped out
The first 10 hires came from your contacts. The next 30 won't, and cold-applying candidates rarely match the bar.
