Open Sourcing

Close to your team. Accountable for the work.

We work with founders and VC investors building emerging tech companies. Embedded talent is our main service, supported by focused searches for critical hires and leadership appointments.

A startup team working through priorities together

Why Open Sourcing exists

Better context produces better hiring.

We built Open Sourcing around a simple need: startups often need senior talent support before they need a permanent talent lead. With 15+ years of technology recruitment experience across the UK, US and Germany, we work directly with founders to set priorities, deliver searches and build the hiring process around the business.
