Embedded recruitment
Sometimes you need all hands on deck. When you hire Lookahead, you get a team of recruiters who have worked together for years and GSD.
We get started faster than you could hire an internal recruiter, can have up to 5 recruiters running concurrently during a crunch period, and gracefully spin down once the core hiring is done.
Why choose this approach

Perfect for rapid growth when you need to hire a lot, fast.
High-volume hiring
Ideal for ongoing, large-scale recruitment without overwhelming your team.
Specialised talent
Great for filling niche roles with industry-specific expertise.
Cost control

Boost Your HR
Adds extra support when your internal team is maxed out or nonexistent. We manage your hiring process and assist with updating employer branding, training interviewers, maintaining applicant tracking systems, and more.
Qsic Story
Their challenge
Qsic won a major contract and needed to scale their tech team quickly to deliver. Hiring an internal recruiter was an option, but they went with us because we could get started right away and get better results for the price.
Our solution
Prioritise hiring an Engineering Manager and Head of Product. With these roles filled, we expanded our capacity to interview, spreading the workload across four of Lookahead’s team members. This allowed us to successfully fill various roles in software engineering, data, IT support, and customer success.
This project was especially enjoyable as the seniority levels were flexible, giving Qsic’s team a comprehensive tour of the market. We also leveraged our community connections, working closely together to uncover warm referrals and passive talent.
Sendle Story
Their challenge
After raising $20m in Series B funding, Sendle needed to double their engineering team. It had to be done quickly without diluting their high standard for engineering talent so they reached out to Lookahead.
Our solution
We worked partially on-site, taking responsibility for the entire candidate funnel. We helped define each role and create effective assessment rubrics. We trained interviewers so it wasn’t all on Sean the CTO’s shoulders.
By spreading the interview load we also created redundancy in the process and brought more of the team along for the hiring journey.
We helped drive adoption of their ATS across the team and ran sessions to rethink their careers page.
