Berg Search

Berg Search is an executive search firm created by founders for founders, providing flexible talent solutions focused on hiring the right people at the right time for startups and scaleups. The company brings a founder-centric approach to recruitment, addressing the critical need for startups to hire the right people as the difference between success and failure.

Berg Search specialises across multiple functional areas required for startup growth: product, technology and data roles including product managers, engineers, DevOps specialists, data engineers, cybersecurity experts and AI/ML engineers; go-to-market positions including sales leadership, account executives, business development representatives, marketing professionals and customer success specialists; and central functions including finance, human resources, executive assistants and operations roles. The company's focus is on providing ready-made talent squads that hit the ground running.

Berg Search reports that 83 percent of candidates rate their placements at 4 or 5 stars after six months, with 89 percent of candidates accepting offers compared to a 66 percent industry average, whilst offering 50 percent reduction in recruitment fees. The company operates through a four-week hiring sprint process and emphasises moving fast without compromising on quality, embedded partnership with clients rather than transactional relationships, and providing pre-qualified candidates within 72 hours rather than conventional multi-week processes.
