Wahoo Recruitment · For employers
Find the commercial talent your next stage needs.
Founder-led executive search and recruitment for software, SaaS and technology businesses across the UK, Europe and United States.
Discuss a searchThe hiring problem
The brief is rarely the problem. The market is.
The people who can genuinely move revenue, build a market or steady a growing team are often not applying to adverts. A polished CV tells you what someone has done. It does not always tell you how they did it.
Find the people who are not looking
Targeted market mapping reaches relevant talent before a search becomes a race to the most visible applicants.
Test the substance behind the story
Commercial performance needs to be explored properly: context, ownership, numbers, judgement and repeatability.
Sell the opportunity with credibility
Strong candidates need a clear reason to move. They also need to trust the person representing the business.
How the search works
Simple on the surface. Rigorous underneath.
The process is designed to create clarity for clients and a credible experience for candidates.
Understand
Clarify the business context, the outcomes and what success needs to look like.
Map
Build a focused view of the relevant market, companies and people.
Engage
Approach the right candidates with a clear, honest account of the opportunity.
Assess
Explore capability, commercial evidence, motivation and fit in proper context.
Deliver
Keep momentum, clarity and accountability through the final decision.
Start with the outcome.
A useful hiring brief connects the role to a business priority. That might mean entering a market, building an enterprise sales capability, improving retention or appointing a commercial leader.
The initial conversation explores the business, the team, the market and what the person needs to achieve. Adrian remains involved from that briefing through market mapping, candidate assessment and the final decision.
International search
Local context. International reach.
Technology businesses rarely grow in one market at a time. Wahoo connects clients with commercial talent across the UK, Europe and the United States, with the search shaped around the reality of each market.
