Start-Up and Scale-Up Recruitment

The first senior hires into start-up, scale-up, or high-growth businesses can shape the company's entire future. Whatever your area of expertise, working in a fast-paced, growing business is one of the most exciting, rewarding things you’ll do.

Making Your Growth Our Business

Anyone who has worked for a start-up, scale-up or funded high-growth business will tell you it can be a wild ride. The opportunities and challenges you face differ from those of a more established company.

The businesses we work with can be entrepreneurial, founder-led, private equity or venture capital funded. They are also in a range of sectors including retail, wholesale, fintech technology or even multi-site businesses. They have one thing in common: finding the brightest, best talent to help drive success.

OUR CLIENTS SAY

I had lost trust in recruiters due to all sorts of issues relating to GDPR and their lack of care, but I’m very happy to say that Radley Green has given me a completely different outlook on recruiters and has fully changed my opinion.Big thanks for the “congratulations” card which I received through the post, it honestly made my day!


Developer, Fast Growth, PE backed E-commerce marketplace

Radley Green’s service has been exceptional since Day 1. They have always provided strong candidates for all positions within our Head Office, and have always gone above and beyond to think outside the box on certain specialty positions that were proving hard to fill. I would strongly recommend them.


HR Manager, Global Luxury Cosmetics brand

Radley Green don’t put any pressure on you. There are no sales calls. Every person they sent to me was worth speaking to because they are very good at understanding the brand. They’re not just fitting a job specification; they understand what I’m looking for from a brand and personality fit as well.
