Helping startups hire the team that scales them.
Recruitment for technology, product, and growth roles at early-stage companies.
We only work with startups and scaleups, which means we understand the timeline pressures, the equity conversations, and what it means to hire your fifth or fiftieth employee. Founders come back to us because we get it. The early-stage hiring environment is unlike any other — candidates are assessing you as much as you are assessing them. We help founders navigate those conversations honestly and find the people who are genuinely excited by the mission, not just the salary.
Why Work With Us
Startup-Native
We only work with early-stage and scaling companies. We understand equity, runway, and what it means to hire your first ten people.
Candidate Experience First
Candidates talk to each other. We make every interaction with Helix Talent a good one, which means better candidates considering your roles.
Embedded When You Need It
For companies in a hiring sprint, we can work on-site as an embedded talent partner rather than a transactional agency.
We work with pre-seed through to Series B companies across the UK — specialising in engineering, product, and growth roles where the quality of the hire has an outsized impact on what happens next. Founders trust us with their most important early hires because we take the time to understand the mission, the culture, and what success actually looks like before we start searching. We are not trying to fill a vacancy as quickly as possible — we are trying to find the person who will still be there in three years and will have made a genuine difference to the business.
