Priority Partnerships
A small number of exclusive mandates each quarter, where we operate as a fully embedded hiring partner.
The principles behind every mandate.
Selective by design
We work with a limited number of clients at any time. This is not a constraint. It is what allows us to operate with genuine depth on every mandate.
Network over database
Our relationships are built over years of operating in, advising, and hiring for technology companies. We know who is exceptional before a search begins.
Advisory before search
Before we present a candidate, we challenge the brief. The best outcome is not always the most obvious one. We bring perspective, not just profiles.
Honest counsel
We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to. The same standard applies to candidates. Long-term relationships are built on candour.
Specialist by choice. Not generalist by accident.
Curlew Advisory was founded by people with first-hand experience on both sides of the commercial table, advising high-growth technology businesses through their most critical decisions, and building revenue functions from scratch under real pressure. We understand what urgency looks like when a business is on a growth trajectory and needs to hire without getting it wrong. We understand the cost of a bad hire, not just commercially, but in terms of momentum, investor confidence, and the months it takes to recover. And we understand what great sales talent actually looks like, because we've spent our careers finding it, developing it, and deploying it.
Building something exceptional? We should talk.
We take on a small number of mandates at any given time. If you are a high-growth technology business looking for your next critical hire or a senior operator considering what comes next, we would welcome the conversation.
