We find unicorns (Most of the time)
Our founder and key team members each bring over 30 years of industry experience, with expertise spanning technical, engineering and HR disciplines. This firsthand knowledge helps us understand the work, the challenges your teams face and what it takes to succeed in each role. When your brief calls for a unicorn, we go beyond job boards to find people who are not actively looking for a new role. Our industry knowledge and headhunting skills help us identify and approach talent with the rare combination of expertise, experience and fit your business needs.
