What our clients say.....
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.
They quickly and meaningfully grasped our mission, helped us to understand the full talent spectrum, and delivered outstanding results.
The team at Founders Keepers were excellent partners on two strategic hires here at Attest. They approached the search with a refreshing blend of thoughtfulness, authenticity, and energy and were excited to commit to supporting our diversity efforts. Insightful, realistic, and considerate, the team are an absolute pleasure to work with.
Founders Keepers played a crucial role in helping us recruit a world-class VP of Sales to AutoUncle. Their persistence in being willing to hold a high bar for expertise and continuously calibrate on culture fit was vital to get a great outcome.
Raj has been an incredible hire for Birdie. He brought industry knowledge, an incredible craft to build products and an unparallelled entrepreneur mindset. We would not have scaled without him in the company. Founders Keepers were a great partner to scope the profile we needed and find Raj – we highly recommend them, in particular Hannah who helped us on this search.

Founders Keepers placed our MD International. It was an integral search to the success of our business with a remit to run everything outside of the UK. I can’t think of a better candidate.
We partnered with Founders Keepers to hire our first CFO. It goes without saying that this is a pivotal hire for our sustained success, and it owes much to the FK team’s obsession with understanding our business and working with us to draw up the right profile. Overall, their process was mindful to us and our candidates, rather than optimizing for pace. Their shortlist was spot on and their support in closing the top candidate was insightful and decisive. Highly recommended.

Stephen and the team in a very short space of time managed to get both a very comprehensive understanding of our technical requirements and also the sorts of characteristics that would make a candidate successful within the organisation.
