Who we are

Founded by senior operators from the enterprise software and financial services industries, we work with a deliberately small portfolio of clients — building careers, not closing transactions.

We don't fill seats. We thread together the right people, at the right moment, into the SaaS companies reshaping financial services.

Precision recruiting

The Niche Method

Mapping, not mailing.

i.

Mandate

Forensic intake. Compensation benchmarking, ICP definition, success metrics agreed in writing.

ii.

Map

We map the entire passive market — typically 300–500 candidates per search — not just who happens to be looking.

iii.

Match

Confidential approach, structured interviews, deep referencing. Shortlists are tight by design.

iv.

Onboard

Quarterly check-ins. We stay invested.

"They understood our go-to-market before we did. The CRO they brought us rebuilt the EMEA pipeline in two quarters — and is still with us four years on."
