Supporting International Growth Through Strategic Leadership Hires

In the summer of 2022, a high-growth recruitment business was introduced to us through a mutual connection.

With ambitious plans to scale across the UK and US, the client needed a partner who could support critical senior hires and provide strategic insight into new markets. We quickly became their go-to recruitment partner, placing five key individuals across both regions and building a relationship grounded in trust, communication, and shared ambition.


The Challenge 


The client faced multiple pressures: rapid international expansion, the need for leadership talent across two continents, and the desire to enhance their brand presence in new markets.


They needed to move quickly, but also thoroughly, mapping talent, gaining market insights, and hiring individuals who aligned not only with skill requirements but also with company culture. As a self-described “challenging client,” they required a partner with reach, care, and precision. 


The Solution 


We delivered a consultative and proactive recruitment solution. They began with an in-depth discovery process, getting to know the business, its culture, and its existing team. From there, they led a transparent and highly communicative process - keeping stakeholders informed, offering market insight, and flagging potential watchouts with candidates.


With a genuine interest in the client’s success, we placed five strategic hires: two Principal Consultants in the US, two leaders in the UK, and a Marketing leader. 


Beyond the placements, we've elevated the client’s brand in the market and became a trusted partner for ongoing growth.


As the client continues to scale in the US, they maintain their close working relationship with Clint and the team here at FIFTEEN WEST. 


Testimonial

"FIFTEEN WEST are my go-to partner in the US. Even when we haven’t been hiring, I still feel valued as a client. 


They work super hard for us, have a great network, and genuinely care about delivering great results."
