Why Known?
Success starts with hiring the right team
How we built our extensive candidate network
Unlike typical recruitment agencies that rely on job boards and mass outreach, we take a more strategic, relationship driven approach.
We leverage our extensive network, trusted referrals and deep industry insights to connect startups and scale-ups with the right tech talent.
Our proactive methods mean we don't just wait for the right candidates to come to us - we find them before they even enter the job market.
Referrals
82% of all candidates hired came from a referral in our network
We actively source referrals to give us confidence in the candidates we are representing and to give our clients access to candidates who come recommended by atleast 1 or 2 other people.
Proactively hunting
We know that the best candidates aren't looking for a new position, because the new positions are out there looking for them!
We're consistently building a pool of 'passive' talent, to ensure we can move quickly when a client has a new role to fill.
We know the market
We don't claim to have a 'hot' candidate ready for each role that we fill - that's unrealistic.
But.. we do claim to know our market inside out. So even in the rare circumstances we don't have a candidate ready to represent, we know which companies to target to find you your ideal person.
Our engagement options
We know that no two businesses are the same; each business has it's own goals, challenges and pace of growth.
That's why we offer flexible partnership models designed to meet you where you are. Whether you need support on a one-off hire or a fully embedded solution that integrates with your team, we tailor our approach to fit your needs, not the other way around.
