Navigate growth with confidence
Strategic hiring for purpose-led start-ups
EST 2011
From established roots in governance and risk, our people offering for sustainability ventures has naturally evolved.
Experience across the corporate, consultancy and start-up worlds gives us a unique lens on people, recruitment, retention and leadership that forges high performing mission-aligned teams to drive growth and impact.
Where are you on your recruitment journey?
Recruitment from the ground up
“We’re not hiring yet but are starting to think about it.”
Thinking about your people plan early is a good idea. Before you even start to write that job advert we can help and challenge you on the foundation of who you are, why you are hiring, what you need and how it fits into your wider business and commercial strategy.
“We’ve got funding and need people now!”
Naturally, we can give you an efficient talent sourcing service, but getting it right is far more important than getting it fast.
We approach recruitment with a retention first mindset focused on strong alignment and understanding of your business needs.
Hiring the next level
“We recognise how important the right people are but are not fully confident in how to find and hire them.”
The right long-term people are critical to your growth. We know that recruitment is tough and time-consuming especially if you don’t have the resources or brand reach yet. Our advisory workshops alongside specialist support guarantee you will develop best-in class recruitment processes to hire the right people with confidence.
“We’ve made some senior hires and want to ensure they are equipped to build and lead teams effectively.”
As part of our bespoke advisory service, we give your leaders the knowledge and confidence to build and lead high-performing mission-aligned teams that enable your business to grow in the right way.
This is our pitch
- We deliver deep, bespoke and strategically aligned recruitment and people advisory services to scaling sustainability ventures.
- We bring you the right mission-aligned people combined with a strategically supported people plan and best practice recruitment process.
- We put the right people in the right place for the right reasons, building lasting high-calibre teams to drive maximum impact.
Our approach to people & talent

What Our Clients Say
Not only did Chris and his team manage to find the perfect candidate for the role we wanted to fill in an extremely niche space, modelling nature-related risks, they always made sure both sides were fully briefed throughout the entire process. This ensured expectations were maintained on both sides, and we could get on with getting to know each other better.
