Building your first engineering team - or scaling it - is one of the decisions that compounds the most. A bad hire at the wrong moment is a sunk cost, it's slowed roadmap, fractured team dynamics and, well, unnecessary wasted runway.

I run structured technical searches for startups and scaleups, primarily in Europe. The process includes OSINT-based sourcing, behavioral and technical assessments, and documented scorecards for every candidate presented.

What founders typically come for:
> First technical hires (engineers, tech leads, heads of product)
> Scaling engineering teams post-funding
> Senior/leadership roles where a mis-hire is particularly costly
> Entering European markets without a local network

Engagements run as contingency, retained, or embedded (fractional) search depending on your situation. Happy to scope out what makes sense before any commitment.
