The Problem
Hiring senior tech talent is harder than it looks
Most startups struggle with senior tech hiring — not because they lack ambition, but because they're missing the right structure, process, and expertise.
The result: slow hiring, wrong hires, and wasted time — at exactly the moment when getting the right people in place matters most.

Best for startups that need consistent hiring support without a full-time hire
I act as your part-time recruiter — building and managing your hiring pipeline, sourcing and screening candidates, and working directly with your team.
- Part-time, embedded hiring support
- Candidate sourcing and screening
- Pipeline building and management
- Close collaboration with your team
Outcome: Consistent hiring momentum without a full-time recruiter

Who This Is For
I work best with
This isn't for every company. Here's where I'm most effective:
Startups (10–100 employees)
Early to mid-stage companies where every hire matters and speed is critical.
Founders hiring their first tech leaders
If you're hiring your first Engineering Manager, Tech Lead, or CTO — this is exactly what I specialise in.
Teams struggling to hire senior tech talent
You've been trying for months, burning time on the wrong candidates, or losing offers at the final stage.
Companies without a strong internal recruiter
You don't have a dedicated TA function yet, or the person you have needs a more senior partner.
