Absolutely yes! I truly believe in hiring the very best candidate for the job, where race, sex, sexual orientation, religion or whatever really doesn’t matter. I strive to provide a diverse shortlist of candidates when I submit my candidate shortlists. Diversity in the workplace and across teams is proven to contribute to a more inclusive, innovative and successful work environment.

Absolutely! I recruit all over the world. Executive Search requires mapping candidates both locally and internationally. It also depends a lot on whether the role is based onsite or remotely (both of which I recruit for).

The fee 20% of base annual salary. This is split into 3 payments (start-up, shortlist, hired candidate)

Yes! While my specialism is within Product and Agile, I can recruit for other positions my clients need help with. Tech/Engineering is also a sweet spot of mine, having recruited tech all my career. A Scrum team is no use without the development team!

Essentially a good recruiter can adapt to any role. It’s all about asking the right questions to hiring managers, creating a great job ad, market mapping of the candidate landscape, and then extensive candidate outreach. I will find your ideal candidate, whatever the role.
