We represent high achievers. Beyond being a ‘star’ in their current job, they have multinational or international experience.

  • Exceptional Achievements

    We look for talent early in their carrier who have had exceptional achievements since they were teenagers.

    There is no set list for what we consider exceptional achievements. But these are some examples of past talent we represented: Being a finalist in a Math or Physics Olympiad, or winner of unmanned drone competition, or two top investment banking associate at their firm.

  • Corporate ready

    We know that achievements and intelligence are not enough if individuals can’t function on a team. We conduct several interviews, peer conversations, and personality tests to assess the person’s interpersonal skills.

    We also assess their ‘fit’ with the North American corporate world and test their English proficiency. We are, in the end, looking for potential.

  • Soft and Hard Skills

    We look for talent that can shine in a remote, fast paced environments like early stage startups.

    We don’t select based on IQ scores. But our talent has the option to take the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale IV test, if they haven’t done so already.
