02
We work our network
With 30,000+ GTM professionals in our network, we don't post and pray. We identify, approach, and qualify the right people for your specific brief.
03
You meet people you want to hire
Three CVs per placement. Every candidate we put forward is considered: a shortlist you'll hire from, not 100 speculative applications.

Why timberseed
The straightforward choice
Shortlists you'll actually hire from
Three CVs per placement isn't an accident. We qualify hard before we send anyone forward: a shortlist you'll hire from, not 100 speculative applications.
We screen for what predicts performance
Skills can be taught. The drive, resilience, and commercial instinct that make GTM hires succeed cannot. We assess for the things that matter.
Speed without shortcuts
10 days average, brief to offer accepted, for SDR and entry-level hires. Our network depth means we move quickly, without compromising on the quality of who we put in front of you.
“Timberseed has filled our sales organisation with top talent across Europe. Their candidates make up a big chunk of our BDR and SDR teams in EMEA and many have risen up to managerial positions in only a few years. When we get a profile from Timberseed, we know we are getting top graduate talent as well as potential future leaders.”

How we work
Our approach
01
Understand your firm
Every search firm is different. We take time to understand your culture, your client base, and what makes someone succeed on your desk before we go to market.
02
Network-led sourcing
With 20,000+ search professionals in our network, we find people who are genuinely ready to move, not just available. Passive candidates included.
03
Properly assessed candidates
We screen for the qualities that actually matter in search: intellectual rigour, relationship instinct, and the resilience to operate in a high-performance environment.
04
We see it through
From offer to onboarding, we stay close. Search hires are high-value, so we treat them accordingly.
Why timberseed
Why search firms choose us
We know the search industry
We recruit exclusively for search firms. We understand how they work, what billing looks like at each level, and what separates a strong researcher from a great consultant. Two and a half interviews per placement: a shortlist you'll actually hire from.
Candidates not on job boards
The best people in search aren't actively looking. Our network is built on direct relationships, so we reach candidates your competitors can't find.
Graduate to partner level
Whether you need a graduate researcher or a senior partner to lead a practice, we have the network and the market knowledge to deliver at every level.
Straight talking
We'll tell you if a brief is unrealistic, what the market is paying, and where the talent is. That directness is why firms come back to us for their next hire, not just their first.
