Problem-first recruitment

Most recruitment starts with a job description. We start with the business problem.

Are you trying to grow revenue? Open a new market? Build your first sales team? Bring in AI capability? Replace founder-led execution with real leadership? We work with founders to understand what the company actually needs — then find people who match the role, the stage, and the reality of startup life.

  • Searches by keywords
  • Sends too many CVs
  • Focuses on experience only
Proper Round
  • Starts with the business problem
  • Defines success outcomes
  • Vets for startup fit
  • Delivers a focused shortlist

What we hire for

High-impact business roles for startups and growth companies.

We specialize in the hires that shape revenue, momentum, and culture — the ones a founder cannot afford to get wrong.

01 — COMMERCIAL

Commercial talent

Sales, business development, partnerships, account management, customer success, and go-to-market roles.

02 — GROWTH

Marketing & growth

Growth marketing, brand, performance marketing, content, community, and demand generation.

03 — AI-ENABLED

AI-enabled operators

Business people who know how to use AI tools to improve sales, marketing, operations, research, and decision-making.

04 — FRACTIONAL

Fractional leadership

Fractional Head of Sales, CMO, COO, Chief of Staff, Country Lead, and other senior operators — when you need leadership before a full-time executive hire.

05 — BILINGUAL

Bilingual talent

Operators fluent in Thai and English — and other Southeast Asian languages — who can sell, lead, and build credibly across local and international markets.

Need English-fluent hires? We test for it.

When a role needs strong English, we don't take it on trust. We assess written and spoken proficiency with structured, tool-based language evaluation — so the shortlist you see is the shortlist that can do the job.

Our difference

Why a shortlist from us is different from a stack of CVs.

01

We understand the business need

We are business people turned recruiters. That means we look beyond CVs and keywords. We ask what success looks like, what the company is trying to achieve, and what kind of person can actually perform in your environment.

02

We vet for startup fit

Skills matter. But in startups, mindset matters just as much. We screen for ownership, flexibility, learning speed, low ego, communication, and the ability to work in ambiguity.

03

We build a proper shortlist

You should not waste time interviewing people who only look good on paper. We give you a focused shortlist of candidates who are relevant, vetted, and ready for founder-level conversations.

Our process

A structured hiring process built around the reality of startup execution.

01

Understand the real need

We run a structured intake to understand your business goals, team stage, role expectations, culture, compensation, and first 90-day success outcomes.

02

Build the hiring scorecard

We turn the role into a clear scorecard covering skills, experience, mindset, working style, and must-have versus nice-to-have criteria.

03

Source and screen

We search for candidates through our network, direct outreach, referrals, and targeted market mapping.

04

Vet for skill and mindset

Every candidate is assessed for role capability, startup adaptability, ownership, communication, motivation, and growth mindset.

05

Deliver the shortlist

You receive a focused shortlist with candidate notes, fit assessment, risks, and recommended interview focus areas.

06

Support the close

We help with interview flow, feedback, reference checks, offer positioning, and candidate communication.

The stakes

Built for founders who cannot afford the wrong hire.

Early hires shape culture.

Commercial hires shape revenue.

Leadership hires shape execution.

The wrong person

costs time, money, energy, and momentum.

The right person

changes the speed of the whole company.

For founders in Thailand & SEA

For startups and growth companies building across Southeast Asia.

We work with founders, venture-backed startups, scaleups, and ambitious companies building new products, new markets, and new teams.
