A hiring partner built for technology businesses that move fast and need to get it right.
Curlew Advisory works with a selective group of high-growth technology companies on their most critical commercial and leadership hires. We operate as an embedded partner, not a transactional supplier.
Search and advisory across the full commercial function.
Commercial Search
B2B sales hiring for technology businesses where the product is complex, the sales cycle is considered, and the hire genuinely matters. We specialise in pod builds: companies hiring two to three Account Executives within a defined window.
GTM Hiring
For businesses with multi-stakeholder buying processes and high-ACV products that require a consultative sales approach. We place the people who can operate in that environment.
Market Mapping
Structured intelligence on the talent landscape before a search begins.
Priority Partnerships
Committed, exclusive partnerships for mandates where quality and discretion matter.
Compensation Benchmarking
Current market data to inform offer strategy and board-level decisions.
Strategic Advisory
Organisational design and hiring strategy for leadership teams navigating scale.
How we approach every mandate.
Quality over volume. We take on a small number of searches at any one time so that every mandate receives our full attention.
Discovery
We begin with a deep brief, not a job description. We immerse ourselves in your business context, strategy, and culture to understand what you are actually looking for.
Market Mapping
We map the relevant talent landscape across our network and beyond. You receive a structured view of who exists, what they are doing, and whether they are right for this moment.
Candidate Assessment
We present a curated shortlist, never a volume of CVs. Each candidate has been personally assessed against your brief and evaluated on both capability and cultural fit.
Close & Onboard
We manage the process through to close, including offer management and onboarding support. Our involvement does not end at the signature.
Work with us.
We typically respond within one business day. All enquiries are treated with complete discretion.
