Helping founders drive growth through people.

A talent consultancy delivering embedded and retained hiring, led by former in-house talent leaders.

Why people choose Flair.

We’ve done this from the inside.

Flair is a talent consultancy led by former in-house Talent Acquisition leaders. We’ve built teams in high pressure scale-ups, so we know what hiring needs to deliver…speed, quality and long-term impact.

That’s why founders choose us over traditional agencies: we hire with an internal mindset, whether embedded in your business or leading a retained search.

How we support you.

Two flexible ways to hire with an internal mindset, depending on where your business is today.

Embedded Talent Partner.

For early stage and scaling teams.

We work inside your business as your in-house talent function.

  • Fractional or interim Talent Partner support.

  • GTM, commercial and leadership hiring.

  • End-to-end ownership, from scope to offer.

Retained External Hiring.

For priority or time sensitive roles.

Dedicated retained hiring, delivered with an internal mindset.

  • End-to-end search on key roles.

  • Deep scoping and stakeholder alignment.

  • Long-term fit over CV volume.

Flair was founded by two operators who’ve built and scaled teams from the inside, partnering with founders to hire leaders who drive growth.
