We support some of the most exciting brands in the market – from leading start ups to international household names – to build world-class scale-up teams. With over 35 years of combined experience between our co-founders in leading in Talent Acquisition strategy & delivery for some of the world’s largest and most complex companies – including IBM, RBS, Nationwide Building Society, CISCO & HCL - it’s fair to say that we have worked hard to earn our stripes as leaders in this space. Combining our expertise in sourcing and selecting top talent, our personal reputations as being on the cutting edge of employer branding & TA tech, and our long history in talent attraction strategy & models, we decided in 2018 to get creative and produce an entirely new boutique solution to support growing businesses.
