We help founders and people leaders hire the engineers, product, commercial, and operations talent that turns ambition into momentum — with the precision of a retained partner and the flexibility of contingent search.
Cord Talent blends operator instinct with recruiter rigour — helping technology companies hire the people who move the business forward.
Hire the talent that moves the needle — without the upfront cost. We run end-to-end searches for the roles that define growth-stage companies: founding engineers, senior product leaders, commercial and GTM hires, compliance and finance leadership.
Retained search for the hires you can't get wrong. For C-suite, VP, and Head-of roles where the stakes are highest, we run a focused retained process — deep market mapping, discreet outreach, and a shortlist built for the long term.
The hiring function, built right. For companies building or rebuilding their People function: talent process audits, ATS selection and rollout, interview training, and hiring metrics that actually move decisions.
Cord Talent is built by talent operators who've scaled hiring inside fast-growing technology companies — through regulatory approvals, Series A to C raises, and growth across 18+ countries. We've sat on the operator side of the table and owned hiring plans against board targets.
That's the mindset we bring to every search — whether you're a founder making your fifth hire or a Head of People scaling your fiftieth.
