Our approach

How we run technology search

Not volume. Not a junior desk. A veteran on one brief — map, approach, shortlist, close.

1

Intake

One-page mandate: must-haves, politics, who signs, who vetoes. Clarity before outreach.

2

Map

Twenty to forty names — people who have shipped — not four hundred scraped profiles.

3

Approach

Direct contact from the founder. Permission before any CV moves.

4

Shortlist & stay

Three names with reasons. Through offer and the first ninety days.

Client services

For employers building AI and technology teams

We help boards, CIOs and hiring managers fill scarce seats when three years of real delivery beats ten years of paper — and every competitor is chasing the same short list.

Commercial terms are retained or contained, agreed before the search starts. Leadership against first-year salary. Specialists as a fixed project fee.

  • Data, AI and ML leadership who have shipped product
  • Scarce enterprise specialists (platform, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce)
  • CIO, CTO, CDAO and programme director mandates
  • No job-board spray · no CV flogging without permission
  • Presence through offer and first ninety days
