Motivated by meaningful work

and meaningful relationships

Hey, I'm Caspar

I'm an independent recruiter with an agency-side background recruiting for some of the UK's leading FMCG brands and blue chips. In 2019 I turned my focus to startups so I could use my experience to help them hire the bigger business expertise needed to professionalise and scale. And I haven't looked back since!

 

My real passion lies in understanding what makes great businesses and the qualities of the people who make them succeed, so I’m hungry to learn and always looking to improve my understanding beyond traditional recruitment. This more holistic frame of reference helps me advise at business-level so I can recruit more consultatively, which is especially important given the more complex and nuanced dynamics around founder-led, VC-backed businesses.

As you can probably tell, I’m a total nerd when it comes to all this stuff! I love nothing more than connecting with like-minded people who share my excitement about the challenger space and building businesses. So let’s talk!

Caspar Giles FMCG Challenger Recruitment Founder - startup and scaleup specialist

Values-led approach

For us, finding the right 'fit' is all about bringing people together around shared values. Our values represent some of the key fundamentals we believe lead to the best results across work, business, and life in general. They also help us identify the like-minded, down-to-earth, professional people and businesses who we do our best work with (and enjoy working with most!). So hopefully they resonate with you too.

1. Lead with confident humility

2. Think critically

3. Make your own luck

4. Be real

What people say

"Hiring is one of the most daunting things for a startup founder, not only from the perspective of getting the right talent into the company, but also how each decision will structure your business. Caspar understands this perfectly, and I would not only go to him for hiring advice, I lean into him for business advice too, which is testament to his experience and character."

Lisa MacFarlane, Co-Founder at The Gut Stuff
