Hiring is moving again - and not slowly.

Across tech, trading, digital assets and infrastructure, we’re seeing a real shift in momentum. Teams are scaling, budgets are unlocking, and people are finally building again with conviction.

And we’re feeling it internally too.
- In the last two weeks, we’ve hired five new people into Albert Bow
- We’ve got two more joining next week
- And we already have new starters lined up for January

It’s a strong signal that the market is alive. But more importantly - it’s a reminder of why we keep investing in our own growth.

Because if our clients are scaling, we need to scale with them.

↗️More researchers
↗️More delivery power
↗️More senior search capability
↗️More hands-on support for teams pushing towards their next stage of growth

For those even thinking about hiring in the new year - 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰.
Not in December.
Not “after the holidays.”
...Now.

Because we all know how this plays out - founders, hiring managers, HR teams start winding down for the festive break, and suddenly January hits and everyone is scrambling.

If you want a head start while your competitors are still half asleep… Let us do the heavy lifting now.

We’re already engaging candidates, mapping the market, and building shortlists for teams who want to hit the ground running next year - with a committed, growing internal team ready to go.

If you’re planning to scale in Q1, let’s get ahead of it. Drop me a message and we’ll get things moving.
