For employersThree candidates.
Three candidates.
Each one argued for.
You already know how to read a CV. What you do not have is the time to read forty of them. We map the market, do the disqualifying, and send you a shortlist of three with a written case for each.

Brief to signed offer, in calendar days. The hard ones take longer, and we would rather tell you that up front.

What actually happens.
01
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.
02
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.
03
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.
04
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.
What we cover
Brief us on any of these.
From a first BDR hire to a full commercial leadership team. Same people, same depth, whatever the level.

What hiring managers say.
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.
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.
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.
Brief a role
Send us the hard one.
The role you have had open for five months. That is the one we want. Tell us the title, the band and the deadline, and you will hear back the same day.
