Need one great hire? We’ve got you. A once-off hire across Engineering, Product or GTM? We'll fill it with a permanent or contract resource
We plug in as your Fractional Talent Team to hire across multiple roles. Sourcing. Screening. Scheduling. We run the full process — you interview great people. Faster, cheaper and way less hassle than building a hiring function in-house.

Former lawyer and now MD and chief control freak (apparently!) of Needl. Love working with founders and understanding their businesses and ambitions. I get a genuine kick out of helping founders make their critical hires.
For 18+ years, I’ve partnered with founders, investors and leadership teams to solve one of their biggest challenges: hiring the right people, at the right time, without slowing growth. I hold a Masters in Business Management (Leadership, Strategy & Innovation, Organisational Development & Transformation) which means I bring not just recruitment expertise, but a broader perspective on how talent, leadership and strategy connect to growth.

Retired Cabin Crew who discovered her passion for recruitment as Associate Director at Needl! Over the past few years, I’ve been working with founders, start ups and scale ups to build high-performing teams across GTM, engineering, product and leadership roles. My specialty lies in strategically scaling teams from the ground up, combining hands-on experience with a deep understanding of what makes early-stage startups thrive.
Bringing Needl to London! I may be late to the recruitment game yet I ain't worried! Two decades as a hiring manager and clearing the path for others to flourish is not a bad starting point! Trusted and well-known in the FinTech and RegTech industries, I am excited to be now using my unique flair to help firms discover talent and talented people to find their next happy place!
Experienced recruiter focused on building Product & Engineering teams for SaaS companies across North America & Europe. 3 things about me - Football, Guinness & Travel ... in that order.
