  • Sourcing: A strong track record of proactively sourcing and closing exceptional candidates.

  • Judgement: Excellent judgement on people and a thoughtful approach to assessment.

  • Presence: The confidence to work directly with founders and senior leaders, and to challenge thinking when needed.

  • Candidate experience: A genuine focus on candidate experience and the details that make a hiring process great.
