      We help tech start-ups and scale-ups experiencing growing pains to achieve and retain the top talent on the market. Our solutions are customised and 50% faster as a result of automation and storytelling to achieve the most effective outcomes. The ingredients of our Secret Sauce: 1. 🚅 Need for Speed: When was the last time you got a clear timeline from a traditional agency? Timeline? That’s what we thought. We average 7 days to shortlist 3-5 quality candidates (from a pool of 25) and 15 days to hire. With updates via Slack every step of the way. 2. 📚 Storytelling: We create an employer story with your internal teams to show candidates who you are beyond a job description; attracting candidates with your values and engaging the right type of talent in the first place. You can be sure you’re only interviewing candidates’ worth interviewing. 3. 🏷️ Transparent Pricing: Traditional recruitment agencies operate on commission, meaning the higher they can push the salary, the more money they make. Sound sketchy? We agree. We will never upsell you. Ever. Our transparent, fixed fee pricing models let you know exactly how much you’ll be paying. Once the candidate is placed.
