What a wonderful way to celebrate a great year at Elemental Search but there is no stopping now, we still have a very busy few weeks ahead of us supporting our clients achieve their hiring goals before the end of the year and we look forward to the challenge! #Recruitment #GTM #Q4

Last night the team got together with their respective partners for an evening of Celebrations to top off a fantastic quarter and month at Elemental Search. Indulging in a 4 hour, 8 course tasting menu at Dilsk Brighton, it was amazing to reflect on what has been achieved with our new clients in the past 3 months. With 2025 just around the corner, we are so excited to continue to deliver a World Class service to our portfolio of clients. #Q4 #Recruitment #TeamBuilding

We've worked with Patrick Guay during his time at Pentera and now at Stream Security on global hires for both Sales and Presales. Some of the most effective recruitment comes when there is a real understanding between recruiter and hiring manager on what good looks like. Patrick has been an individual we've really been able to learn from about what ICPs look like in Start up and Scale up environments. Building this open and transparent relationship has enabled us to make our average hire time at Stream.Security under 4 weeks from briefing to contract signed. We're excited to continue to work with Patrick and his team on hiring with Stream during their growth journey. #Recommendation #AlwaysLearning #Hiring

Elemental Search average time to hire is 20-40 days from the beginning of the search to signed contract. How? Because we have designed a process set up for success..... Day 1. Align with client EVP to determine ICP and set out process timeline. Day 7. Market map, identify and share top targets. Day 14. Provide final shortlist. Day 14-28. Interviewing begins. Day 28-40. Offer and closing stage. Hiring does not have to be painful, it doesn't always run as smoothly as you may like but if you prepare correctly then you give yourself the best chance of achieving the results you want. If you have key GTM hires that you need to fill before Christmas, then reach out to either Ally Esmaeili or Tom Stanford for more information. #TimeToHire #SetupForSuccess #GTM #Recruitment

We were retained by Altnets to find them a Director of Operations to help accelerate their next phase of growth. Tom Stanford worked closely with Director Sam Bangle to first of all understand the true requirements for this hire, then mapping out the process and ensuring that in depth market research was done to deliver an initial longlist of candidates. It was clear from the outset that Oliver was a front runner due to both his Operational experience but also the cultural fit which we knew was so important to Altnets. Since Olly started at the start of October, we've had the pleasure of lunch with him & some of the other team and it's fantastic to see how settled in and enthusiatic he is about this next part of his career. Altnets turned 4 yesterday and we are so excited to see what's to come in the coming years and are proud to continue this partnership. #Testimonial #SeniorHiring #Advisory
