Tessellate

Tessellate is a recruitment agency founded by Jack Loades and Rachel Gass, dedicated to helping startups scale their impact with exceptional leaders who share their values. Unlike traditional recruiters who work from the outside-in, Tessellate's team brings firsthand experience from within the high-growth, mission-driven startup ecosystem. The agency specialises in recruiting for Commercial Product Management and Artificial Intelligence functions, leveraging deep industry knowledge to identify candidates who understand how these critical disciplines must work together to drive sustainable growth.

Tessellate operates across two core specialisations: Commercial Product Management and Artificial Intelligence recruitment. The team's background includes extensive experience in talent acquisition, business development, and product leadership within mission-driven organisations. Jack Loades brings eight years of recruitment expertise, including his recent role as Talent Acquisition Manager at an AI startup where he hired over 30 senior positions and redesigned hiring processes. Rachel Gass contributes over a decade of sales and marketing experience, including full-cycle deal management and strategic advisory work with founders and senior leadership teams.

Tessellate operates across the United States and United Kingdom, serving startups and growth-stage companies seeking to build high-performing teams. The agency differentiates itself through three core pillars: building trust through genuine partnerships rather than transactional placements, sharing expertise gained from years within mission-driven startups, and working ethically by prioritising people and long-term success over quick placements. Tessellate partners exclusively with companies whose missions align with their values, ensuring that both candidates and clients benefit from a hiring process built on honesty, integrity, and lasting impact.
