Recruitment solutions for scaling teams, delivered in 90 days.
A focused 90-day mandate for founders, investors and country leaders who need the next three critical appointments before the next board meeting.
Sprints exist for the inflection points — a raise, a new market, a step change in revenue targets. I own end-to-end delivery and headhunting on three priority roles while installing the scorecards, market intelligence and sourcing habits your team keeps afterwards.
Brian Itumo's proprietary advisory framework applied throughout this engagement.

Start a conversationFAQs
What recruitment solutions work best for scaling teams?
One critical leadership appointment suits retained executive search. Three to five priority hires in a quarter suit this sprint. An ongoing hiring plan with no senior talent leader in place suits fractional talent leadership or an embedded partner.
What if a role is harder than expected?
The sprint fee stays fixed — I extend the sourcing and mapping effort at no extra cost.
Can I add a 4th role mid-sprint?
Yes, priced as an add-on. I'll only take it on if it doesn't put the original three at risk.
Do you support market entry?
Yes — including local market intelligence, compensation benchmarking and diaspora talent strategy.
