How it works

From kickoff to your hire.

Operator brief

A working session with Tim to map the role, the team it’ll lead, the P&L it’ll own, and the specific operator profile that fits your stage.

Targeted sourcing

We work passive networks first — operators who aren’t on job boards. Every candidate gets a BitScore™ rehearsal calibrated to senior-level scenarios.

3

Shortlist & advisor write-up

You receive a 3–5 candidate shortlist with Tim’s written assessment of fit, risks, and how to interview each one.

Through to offer & 90 days
