Amigos

Amigos is a talent and HR consultancy that works with startups and scaleups in the UK, Spain and the US. It describes its approach as ethical and says it specialises in scaling VC and YC-backed startups from a founding team to 150 people and beyond. The company was founded by Jamie Francis and Archie Fritz, and it cites more than 20 years of experience in talent and HR.

Recruitment is offered on retained, contingency and pay-as-you-go terms. Retained search covers leadership, founding team and critical hires, while contingency work targets hard-to-fill technical and leadership roles. Pay-as-you-go hiring is aimed at seed to Series A teams. Amigos says it has hired across CTV, OTT, FinTech, AI and deep tech, and that it has built candidate networks across Europe and the US.
