FAQs
Wilson Grey recruits mid to senior-level talent for startups and scale-ups, from experienced individual contributors through to C-suite. We hire across four core areas:
- Go-to-market: Sales, Customer Success, Partnerships, Marketing & Growth
- Tech: Engineering & Product Leadership
- Data: Data Engineers & Data Scientists
- Operations
Yes. We work with startups and scale-ups across both the UK and US, with particular strength in New York and the East Coast.
For permanent hires, we typically deliver a vetted shortlist within five working days of agreeing the brief, and sometimes sooner where strong matches are already available.
For urgent contract and interim roles, we can often provide a shortlist within 24 hours, including confirmed candidate availability and day rates.
We actively headhunt. Many of the best candidates aren’t applying to job ads, so we proactively approach relevant people rather than relying only on inbound applicants.
For non-executive permanent roles, we recruit on exclusive or retained terms and charge a flat fee based on first-year base salary. Executive search is retained and staged, while contractors and fractional hires are invoiced on a day-rate basis.
Yes. Every permanent hire includes a replacement guarantee if the placement doesn’t work out.
One of our consultants works as part of your team on a part-time basis, exclusively supporting your hiring. It’s a four-week minimum engagement, rolling thereafter, and typically covers three to four roles per month, excluding executive positions.
Yes. We’ve helped startups recruit entire teams, particularly go-to-market teams, within one calendar quarter of a funding round.
We offer end-to-end support — from drafting job descriptions and designing interview processes to advising on current compensation packages — so you can move quickly and avoid missing out on strong candidates.
Our processes are built specifically for startups and scale-ups, and the talent we represent works in this space. By only submitting prescreened candidates rated at least an 8/10, we’ve achieved an 89% fill rate and an average time-to-fill of 30 days — often faster, depending on a client’s diary.
