I worked with Tom for 9 months on the Trustpilot project via Scede. Tom is a true a leader. His wealth of experience allows him to keep a cool, pragmatic head, and work through any potential issues with composure and ease. One of his strengths is how he can manage multiple stakeholders at once. He is a superb listener too, so can quickly gather requirements from hiring managers and make a clearcut timeline, whilst expertly managing expectations. Tom also has a very solution based way of thinking, so he strategically plans how to efficiently overcome any issue that may arise. He is a true role model. Anyone would be lucky to work with him.

Tom's a delight to work with - capable, professional and an expert recruiter who delivers outstanding results.

Since 2013, we've scaled teams for 100+ businesses in Europe and North America via our flexible, subscription-based or pay-as-you-go recruitment solutions 🌍 Our people have first-hand experience and proven capability hiring at all stages of growth; from stealth-mode startups through to hyper-scale and IPO. This gives us deep insight into the many roadblocks companies face when scaling their teams - and how to solve for them effectively ✅ We've shaped, iterated and productised a set of cost-effective, plug-and-play recruitment services that can fast-track your path to hiring success. Our “Embedded” and “Source” services allow you to ramp up recruitment or sourcing capacity quickly - whether it be tech, commercial, operations, or games hiring - with the flexibility to increase or decrease our support as your needs evolve.
