TalentCentric

TalentCentric has supported organisations across the United Kingdom from our London headquarters. We specialise in Executive Search, Human Resources, and Consulting & Advisory roles, partnering with businesses to identify and secure crucial strategic talent. Our dedicated team is committed to a considered and effective recruitment process.

We're a team of four former talent acquisition leads, all with executive search backgrounds; collectively, we've scaled 19 tech start-ups and facilitated over 3,000 hires - giving us a unique perspective and an equally unique approach to high-performing talent acquisition. We've seen up close the consequences of poor hiring - both internally and from outsourced partners.

Attracting high performers is an art - one that modern internal talent teams simply don't have time for. We know this because we've managed those teams ourselves. And it's evident everywhere we look.

Most talent teams rely on what we call Push Recruitment - a low-touch, high-volume candidate collection approach. It fills candidate pipelines but is suboptimal for securing high performers for leadership and impact roles.

Since 2012, we've used a different approach: Pull Recruitment - a high-touch, low-volume approach grounded in Jobs-to-be-Done Theory, designed to attract high performers by speaking to what they're truly looking for - not just what the job spec requires.

We've been refining this method for over a decade. In November 2024, Harvard Business Review called it the future of recruitment.
