Founders Keepers were superb to deal with and I would highly recommend.
The quality of candidates presented for the role were world class.
The team were incredibly responsive and very easy to collaborate with.
Stephen Cluskey, Chief Executive Officer | Mobility Mojo

FK delivered on a tough Chief Product Officer search for us – they listened to what we wanted, the pipeline was consistently refreshed, and the team provided a thoughtful point of view without “over selling” a candidate. The team that sold the search was the same one that delivered in the end. Maybe this should be ‘table stakes’, but I imagine firms that regularly do senior searches realize this is the exception and not the rule.
Philip Sternheimer, Partner | Hellman & Friedman

Founders Keepers led one of our most important exec hires. They were absolutely exceptional across the board. Beyond the great outcome, they brought in the best talent I've seen, it was very quick and efficient for me, and their team is stellar and great to work with.
Jason Rubottom, CEO | Cloverly

We’ve worked with FK for multiple searches in high growth technology businesses; they are differentiated in the breadth and calibre of talent they introduce us; their ability to hit bullseye candidates early in the search and their hunger to deliver.
Nick Rose, Managing Director | Advent International

We are delighted with the work we have done with Founders Keepers. We found a NED to join us that is a great fit for the organisation. The team were super helpful and friendly to work with.
Ruth Jackson, Chief People Officer | The Gym Group

The positive energy of the team at FK is both reassuring and exciting. The network power they have is a critical value add to their abilities to find the right candidate, and match them with the existing leadership style.
Matt Hiscock, Chief Executive Officer | Wild Nutrition

In my capacity as Executive Chairman of Popsa, I have engaged Founders Keepers to fill three distinct senior executive roles within the business.
Each position required a different skill set and presented its own unique challenges. On every occasion, the team at Founders Keepers approached the search process with professionalism, rigour, and a considered, methodical approach. They have consistently demonstrated patience, insight, and a deep understanding of our needs.
Founders Keepers are a genuine pleasure to work with, and I recommend them without hesitation.
