Better people. Stronger companies.

Thoughtful hiring. Human fit.

Founder-led recruiting for startups and scaleups hiring technical, product, and commercial talent. You work with me from first brief to signed offer — no account managers, no handoffs.

For clients

A few strong introductions beat a flood of CVs.

You work directly with me from brief to offer — no account managers, no handoffs, no junior researcher learning on your search. I take on only a handful of roles at a time so each one gets real attention, and I introduce people I'd personally vouch for. If your brief is unclear, your salary is off, or I'm not the right person to help, I'll tell you early.

Role clarity
Before searching, we define what this person will actually own, what success looks like in six months, and which requirements are real versus wishlist.
Targeted search
People are approached because their work fits your problem — not because a keyword matched a job title.
Honest shortlists
Fewer candidates, richer context, no inflated confidence, no filler profiles to pad the list.
An engineer's read
My background is in software engineering, so I can evaluate technical work on its merits instead of trusting buzzwords.

For candidates

No random job spam. No pressure. No disappearing act.

Honest roles, full context, and no wasted time. Every introduction comes with the whole picture — why this role, why now, the salary, the team, and where you'd actually fit. Nothing about you is shared without your say-so, and I don't vanish after the intro.

01

You tell me what good looks like

Role, salary, remote setup, company stage, ambition, risk appetite — and what you want more of, and less of, next.

02

Nothing moves without your permission

Your profile, salary expectations, current employer, and search status stay private unless you explicitly agree to an introduction.

03

Relevant roles only

If something isn't a fit, I won't dress it up as one to get a submission. You'll always know why I think a role makes sense for you.

Roles I can help with

Broad reach across the people who make technology companies work.

Data & AI

Go-to-market

Leadership

Process

Clear brief. Careful search. Better conversations.

01 — Brief

Understand the role properly

We get clear on what this person will own, who they'll work with, what would make them thrive, and what would make them fail.

02 — Search

Find people with real evidence

I look for people whose past work connects to your actual problem — not just a matching job title.

03 — Screen

Check motivation, fit, and timing

We cover skills, judgement, salary, remote expectations, communication style, and what this person genuinely wants next.

04 — Introduce

Make respectful introductions

You get fewer, stronger candidates with real context. Candidates get roles that make sense for them.

05 — Close the loop

Keep the process moving

Feedback, next steps, and decisions are handled clearly and quickly. Nobody is left guessing or chasing for an answer.

How I work

Human first. Commercially serious. No theatre.

Candidates are not inventory

People trust a recruiter with private career information. That trust has to be earned, and protected.

Companies deserve straight talk

If the brief is unclear, the salary is unrealistic, or I can't genuinely help, I'll say so — early, not after weeks of silence.

Small pipeline, high signal

More CVs don't make better hires. Better conversations do.

A technical background, a broader reach

I've worked as a software engineer, which sharpens how I evaluate technical roles — and the practice extends across the wider technology team.
