Retained search and fractional leadership where the role calls for it.
Why it works
A recruiter’s only real asset is judgement. Knowing which of two similar-looking Account Executives will thrive through a Series B pivot, and which one is riding a territory that sold itself.
That judgement is built by seeing the same job done well, and badly, hundreds of times, in the same context. So we picked one context and stayed in it.
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland and Wellington. The software market we actually live in.
Every rung, both ladders.
Sales
BDR through to CRO.
Marketing
Marketing Assistant through to CMO.
Engagement
However the role is best structured.
Roles on the desk.
All roles →Four things, done properly.
We learn the role before we sell it
The first call is about your team, your number, and what good actually looks like in your context. We'd rather spend an hour there than build a shortlist off a job spec.
We map the market, not our database
Every search starts from a live map of who's actually doing the job well at comparable companies, not a keyword query against candidates we already happen to know.
Three people, deeply briefed
You get a shortlist of three, each with a written case for why they're on it. If we can't find three we'll send two and say so, rather than padding it out.
We stay in it after the start date
Check-ins at 30, 60 and 90 days with both sides. Most of our repeat business comes from catching a wobble in week six.
Both sides of the table.
We'd been trying to hire a CRO for seven months through two other agencies. Silky sent three people. We hired the second one and she's rebuilt the entire commercial org.
They talked me out of a job. Told me the culture wouldn't suit me and put me forward somewhere else two weeks later. I've never had a recruiter do that.
Every other agency sent us twelve CVs and called it a shortlist. Silky sent three and a two-page argument for each. That's the job.
I was a Marketing Assistant when they first called me. Four years and two moves later I'm a Head of Marketing. Same consultant the whole way.
We came to them for one Head of Marketing and stayed for the whole leadership team. They know this market cold. Who's good, who's available, and who's about to be.
The brief they wrote about me was better than my own CV. I read it and thought: right, that's who I am.
