Where we hire

Hiring across Europe, and building teams beyond it.

We work European mandates for deep-tech and venture-backed teams, and we run the India and APAC build-outs that European companies increasingly need — both on one contract.

What is different about hiring here

Three things that decide a search in Europe.

One contract across borders

Hiring in Berlin, hiring in Bengaluru and standing up a new site in Singapore are the same engagement with us. Most agencies can do one of those three.

Confidential search, routed properly

Leadership backfills go to a named subset of recruiters under NDA rather than to a broad network, and candidates learn the company name only after signing one themselves.

Paid on joining, not on offer

A success fee of 8.33% of first-year salary, invoiced on the joining date. No retainer, no seat licence, non-exclusive, with a 90-day replacement guarantee.

What we work

The roles that are already stuck.

Software engineering, AI and data, robotics and hardware, forward deployed engineering, and engineering leadership — plus India and APAC capability-centre build-outs for European companies.

Where we stand in this market: Europe is our newest market and our recruiter network here is smaller than in India. We are most useful to European teams on deep-tech and engineering leadership searches, and on build-outs into India and APAC where our network is deepest.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We take mandates across Europe, and the United Kingdom is one of our three primary markets alongside India and the United States — see the UK page for that market specifically. Our continental European network is newer and smaller than our Indian one, and we are most useful on deep-tech, AI and engineering leadership searches, and on India build-outs for European companies.

Yes, and it is one of our most common engagements. Capability-centre build-outs run from the first leadership hire down to the scale pod, held to one rubric across every hire, then handed over to your own TA team. You do not need an existing Indian entity or team for us to start.

8.33% of the hired person’s first-year salary, invoiced on their date of joining. No retainer, no setup fee, no seat licence, and no fee at all if an accepted candidate does not join. If they join and it does not work out within ninety days, the search runs again free of charge.

Confidential mandates are routed to a small named subset of recruiters under NDA rather than to the full network. Candidates are told the company name only once they have signed an NDA themselves. Your brief, hiring plan and compensation bands stay inside that group.

Make hiring the thing you’re good at.

Seed, Series A to D, or enterprise — send us one hard role. We'll match it the same day, and you'll meet a shortlist in days. Pay only when they join.
