Headhunting
For roles you need filled, not just posted. We reach the right people directly – most of whom aren’t on the job market. You get a shortlist of 3–5 pre-vetted candidates, not a pile of CVs.
Covering CEE, Latin America, South Asia, and South Africa.
The Problem
The right person for your role isn’t refreshing job ads. They’re head-down in a role they’re reasonably happy with. Getting to them means direct outreach, a compelling framing of the opportunity, and the credibility to have the conversation. Most recruitment processes skip all of that – post a job, filter applications, wonder why the pipeline is thin.
We don’t post jobs. We build a pipeline of relevant candidates through direct outreach, then put every person through a structured pre-screening and vetting process before they reach you. What lands in your inbox is a shortlist of 3–5 people who have already been assessed for technical fit, communication, and cultural alignment.
We do this across Eastern Europe, Latin America, India, and South Africa. In each market we have local knowledge, local networks, and local recruiters who know what good looks like – and what red flags to catch before you ever get on a call.

Case Studies
FAQ
How is your headhunting different from a typical recruitment agency?
Most agencies source from the same channels – job boards, databases, and outreach. The difference is what happens next. We pre-screen and assess every candidate against a custom evaluation framework before they reach you. What you get is a shortlist of 3–5 people who are genuinely worth your time – not a pile of CVs padded to justify a fee.
What's the typical time from brief to shortlist?
Typically 2–4 weeks depending on the role, seniority, and market. We’ll give you a realistic timeline on the first call — we won’t start a search we can’t deliver.
What roles do you cover beyond engineering?
Any digital role – customer success, data science, finance, marketing, operations, HR, sales, and executive leadership. If it requires genuine expertise, we can headhunt for it globally.
What seniority levels do you work with?
All levels – from mid-level specialists to C-suite executive search. Senior and executive placements may be subject to a retainer arrangement, discussed before we start.
What's the 90-day replacement guarantee?
If the placement doesn’t work out 0r meet expectations within the first 90 days, we restart the search at no additional cost. Terms may vary by market – confirmed before you commit to anything.
Can you also employ the people you source?
Yes – if you need us to handle employment, payroll, and ongoing operations as well as the search, Turnkey Staff Augmentation covers the full lifecycle at a predictable monthly cost.
Do you only cover Eastern Europe or all markets?
We headhunt across CEE, Latin America, South Asia, and South Africa. In each market we work with local recruiters who know the talent pool, the salary benchmarks, and the red flags worth catching.
What if we only have a vague idea of what we need?
That’s a normal starting point. We run a role definition consultation before the search begins – helping you translate a problem into a profile. You don’t need a job description to start a conversation.
Have a Role to Fill?
Tell us about it – even if the brief isn’t fully defined yet.
We’ll come back with a clear view on whether we can deliver it, on what timeline, and at what cost.
