Founder-led search for data, AI, scarce specialists and leadership seats. Personalised approach. One brief at a time — Johannesburg and Toronto.
Our sectors
Focused seats where the wrong hire is expensive and the right name is rarely on a job board.
Our approach
Not volume. Not a junior desk. A veteran on one brief — map, approach, shortlist, close.
One-page mandate: must-haves, politics, who signs, who vetoes. Clarity before outreach.
Twenty to forty names — people who have shipped — not four hundred scraped profiles.
Direct contact from the founder. Permission before any CV moves.
Three names with reasons. Through offer and the first ninety days.
Client services
We help boards, CIOs and hiring managers fill scarce seats when three years of real delivery beats ten years of paper — and every competitor is chasing the same short list.
Commercial terms are retained or contained, agreed before the search starts. Leadership against first-year salary. Specialists as a fixed project fee.
Founder · Recruit AI
More than twenty years in professional outreach. Kelly and Antal in London. A 360° desk across Africa. Associate Director at Tal-Cap in Canada. Recruit AI is founder-led search between Johannesburg and Toronto.
Clients come when the seat is scarce. Candidates come because they want their name handled with care.
