Collaborate: “The power of many is better than the power of one.”

Innovate: “Always be looking 2-5 years in the future.”

We’re upfront about where we use AI, where we don’t, and where you’re welcome to use it too.

Where we use AI

• AI Agents for sourcing: We've deployed a number of AI agents to do the manual lift to source and reach out to incredible talent, however once you reply to a message this is where our Talent partners take over.
• Consented note-taking: A notetaker joins interviews so the panel can look you in the eye instead of typing. You’ll see it in the call — ask us to turn it off anytime.
• Debrief summaries: AI drafts a first-pass summary for the hiring team. Humans read it critically and overwrite it before any decision.
• Research and preparation: We use AI to prepare properly for you — your background, your questions, your time respected.

Where you can use AI

• Prep & research: Use Claude, ChatGPT, whatever helps — draft answers, pressure-test stories, research us. It’s how we work too.
• The exercise: Should you be asked to do a short exercise, use every tool you’d use on the job. This is a window into how we consult with clients every day — and AI is part of how we work.
• Better questions for us: Use AI to generate questions for our founders. The best questions are the hard ones — bring them.
