The start-up and scale-up landscape                                                         

Managing uncertainty and risk

The start-up and scale-up landscape is competitive and can be impacted greatly by market conditions and investor confidence. You can trust us to help you navigate uncertainty and risk during those early stages. 

 

 

Crafting your talent functions

Today’s founders are often expected to do more with less. We can help you hire, develop and retain top talent, so you can focus on innovating and growing your scaling business. 

 

 

Hiring the right people at the right time

Hiring the wrong people is one of the most common reasons that start-ups and scale-ups fail. Over-hiring during the early stages of growth is another common mistake. We can help you establish team harmony by attracting the right people and working with you to build a sustainable talent strategy that’s tailored for every stage of your growth.

Talent acquisition


We conduct a detailed assessment of your talent requirements and use this to tailor our talent acquisition and advisory solutions to support your growth, both for now and the future.

Recruitment solution

If you’re looking to expand your team, our specialist consultants will headhunt and source the talent you need to grow your business. We recruit for a wide range of roles, from technical to leadership level, in areas like sales, technology, human resources (HR), marketing and finance.

Depending on your talent requirements, we can source contractor, fractional or permanent workers for your scaling business.

Embedded solution

We can embed our expert consultants into your organisation to build and evolve your talent functions, so you don’t have to. We’ll save you time and money by managing your full cycle recruitment process, from planning to evaluation, and implementing new technology into your business where required.
