Why Choose Us
What Makes Talent Identity Unique
While many offer fractional recruitment, managed services, and 'tailored talent solutions,' few bring firsthand experience of guiding a company from Series A funding to acquisition. Partnering with Talent Identity means gaining access to that level of expertise, embedded directly within your business.
Tailored to your needs
Every business is unique, so we tailor our approach to align with your priorities. Through detailed consultations, we gain a firsthand understanding of your current situation, your goals, and what success looks like by the end of our partnership.
Immersive collaboration
We invest time with you and your team to gain deep insights into your company. Just like any effective talent acquisition function, we need to fully understand the 'product' we're selling – and the only way to do that is by immersing ourselves in your culture.
You own what we create
We build a world-class talent acquisition function that becomes yours to own. The content, processes, and insights we develop are designed to empower our clients with long-term self-sufficiency and an employer brand that drives lasting success.
Getting you excited
If we’re not getting you and your team excited about being involved in talent acquisition, then we’re not doing our job right. Talent acquisition shouldn’t feel like a chore – it should be an opportunity to attract and collaborate with the best people possible.
Only start-ups
Our expertise is specifically tailored to smaller businesses. We won’t overwhelm you with what Google or Amazon do – because that’s not relevant to your needs. Our clients value a cost-effective, time-conscious, and adaptable approach that never compromises on quality.
If we can't help, we won't
We’re passionate about adding value to growing businesses. If, after a free consultation, we don’t see a clear opportunity to make an impact, we’ll be upfront about it. We’re always happy to share advice and guidance – even with businesses that don’t end up hiring us.
About Me
Chris Simpson
I have worked in Talent acquisition for over 18 years and it has aged me horribly. Having started like many in the murky world of recruitment agencies, I gravitated to working internally with hyper growth software businesses. The last 13 years have been spent as Global Head of Recruitment and Talent Acquisition for a number of high profile companies where I have hired in over 40 countries, across any discipline you can think of but with perhaps a bias towards software engineering and software sales. These experiences have seen me take startups on the whole journey through series A, B and C and successful Exit.
I am passionate about helping startups implement fluid and scale-able Internal functions and showing you that hiring shouldn't be a chore!
