Recruitment Services
Hire the people who will run your product and your teams.
We help technology companies hire product managers and senior leaders. Our founders have built and led product and engineering teams for years, so every candidate is assessed by people who have done the job, against a brief we agree with you before the search starts.
The problem
Why these hires so often go wrong.
01
Briefs nobody agreed on
A search starts with a job description copied from somewhere else. Three interviews in, the hiring team realises they each wanted a different person.
02
CVs instead of judgement
Generalist recruiters match keywords. They cannot tell a strong product manager or engineering leader from one who only interviews well.
03
Slow, inconsistent interviews
Every interviewer asks different questions, feedback arrives late and good candidates accept other offers while you decide.
04
Expensive mistakes
A wrong product or leadership hire costs months of direction and often the people who leave because of it.
What we hire for
Two kinds of hire, one standard.
We focus on the roles where a good hire changes the direction of a product or a team, and where judgement matters more than volume.
Leadership hiring
CTOs, VPs of Engineering, heads of data and AI, engineering directors and managers who will build and run your teams.
Role design and briefs
We work out with you what the role must achieve in its first year, what it needs and what it does not, before the search starts.
Assessment design
Structured interviews, case studies and work samples built for your role, so every candidate is compared on the same evidence.
Search and shortlisting
Direct search for people who are not applying anywhere, with every shortlisted candidate interviewed by us first.
Offer and onboarding support
References, offer conversations and a plan for the first months, so the hire starts well and stays.

Always included
- A role brief agreed with you before anyone is approached
- Candidates assessed by people who have done the job, not keyword matching

FAQ
Questions we hear a lot.
Which roles do you recruit for?
Product managers at every level, and technology leaders: CTOs, VPs of Engineering, heads of data and AI, engineering directors and managers. We do not run volume hiring.
Why hire a consulting firm to recruit?
Because the people assessing your candidates have built and led product and engineering teams themselves, and we know what good looks like in AI, data and platform work.
How is recruitment priced?
We agree the fee and terms in writing before the search starts, based on the role and how many hires you need. Ask us and we will tell you upfront.
Can you hire for teams outside India?
Yes. We work with companies in India, the US, the UK, the Middle East, Singapore, Australia and Indonesia. Tell us where the role is based and we will say honestly how we can help.
