Horley, United Kingdom
I’m a senior talent partner with deep experience scaling high-growth startups and building world-class teams inside some of the most recognisable tech companies. I’ve led recruiting for Instagram and the Metaverse team in London, and prior to that I headed up hiring at Twitter in London, where I helped build Software Engineering, Mobile, Product, and Design teams from the ground up. Alongside big tech, I’ve scaled startups at different stages of growth, including General System, Attio, Kittl, Presence, Scoreplay, Elliptic, and Sphere. This mix of hyper-growth startup environments and large, complex organisations has given me a practical, hands-on understanding of what it takes to hire well, move fast, and build sustainable teams. I specialise in end-to-end recruiting and talent strategy, from advanced sourcing using LinkedIn Recruiter and other platforms, through to hiring for highly technical roles such as Software Engineers (Frontend, Backend, Full Stack) and Machine Learning Engineers. I also work closely with founders and leaders to improve internal hiring processes, reduce time-to-hire, and design effective interview frameworks. Beyond hiring, I support candidates and companies with CV writing, FAANG interview preparation, job description writing, career coaching, and employer branding. I’m always happy to chat—feel free to drop me a note and we can set up a call anytime.

Most founders don’t need another recruiter. They need hiring off their plate. I operate as your outsourced Recruiting Department owning hiring end-to-end so you don’t have to build, manage, or babysit an internal TA team. You focus on growth. I own the hiring engine. What I Take Ownership Of • Role scoping & scorecards • Sourcing & outbound strategy • Pipeline build & qualification • Interview process & feedback loops • Offers, closing & onboarding flow You don’t manage recruiters. You get a functioning hiring system. Companies I’ve Worked With Postman • Grafana Labs • Zilch • OneDay • ICC • Enterprise Nation • Medik8 500+ hires delivered across GTM, Tech, Ops & Leadership. Why Clients Hire Me Hiring breaks when: Founders run interviews without structure Recruiters send CVs without context There’s no pipeline strategy Every hire feels reactive I install a structured, predictable hiring function powered by systems not luck. Results: • Pipeline visibility within 14 days • Fixed monthly model (no % fees) • 4–12 month average retention • Roles filled without founder involvement Ideal Clients Founders who: • Are scaling fast • Don’t want to build an internal TA team • Need predictable hiring without drama • Want one accountable owner If hiring is consuming time you should be spending building we should talk. Send me the roles you need filled in the next 90 days, and I’ll map out how I’d run your hiring function.
