Human centric solutions for the future of tech
Agile hiring, fractional talent advisory and data driven consulting for tech scale ups
Why People Essential
We believe that building a great team isn't about filling seats—it's about finding the right people to carry the vision forward.
We take an honest and grounded approach to tech recruitment, looking past the resume to understand the real person and the work that needs to be done.
By focusing on honest advice and long-term fit, we help scale-ups grow without losing the human spark that makes them special. We aren't just recruiters; we are partners who care about where your story goes next.


Our Approach
We understand- building a high performing team is not easy, no matter the environment. I’ve operated within the structured excellence of Big Tech and navigated the high-velocity, high-stakes environment of scale-ups. This dual background allows me to solve the "speed vs. quality" dilemma by creating systems that attract the right people and ensure they stick. By blending agile hiring, fractional advisory, and market insights, we help you grow without losing the human spark that made you successful in the first place.
What we bring to the table:
Big Tech Logic, Startup Agility: We bring the rigor of world-class hiring standards and adapt them to work at the speed of a growing startup.
Decisions Based on truth: We use data to cut through the noise, replacing "gut feelings" with clear, actionable insights.
A Nurturing Partnership: We thrive with mission-driven companies where people and purpose matter just as much as the product.
