Recruit with Joe

Joe understands that a growth mindset and skillset is equally important when it comes to success. He has worked in scaleups himself, building teams as a hiring manager. He is comfortable pre-qualifying and pre-interviewing candidates, as well as creating job descriptions, managing the end-to-end hiring process and working on complex hiring strategies.

If you lack a HR and internal Talent team Joe performs both functions fluidly. He maintains close contact with both his candidates and clients ensuring mutual success and long-term staff retention.

His Staff Retention rate of 92% in Year 1 is double the US average – crucially retaining his clients IP.

Additionally, having been a candidate himself, his engagement model sits at a 79% response rate, which is 4x the US average. This ensures a larger candidate pool via a head-hunting first approach.

In addition to his technical background Joe loves building Sales teams, from SDRs-ESDs-VPs. He understands how vital it is that the people pitching your products and services are the initial contact point for his clients.

This overall approach to hiring removes the need for specialist recruiters and ensures that team culture is aligned across your whole business.
