Created for startups
Danny Patrick
Founder & Head of Client Delivery
Patrick Partners was founded out of frustration with the traditional “make a quick fee” model of agency recruitment, particularly in terms of meeting the needs of early-stage startups within technical domains.
“I believed there was a way to provide world-changing startups with what they were asking for. A long-term partnership across business units to deliver technically astute talent combined with a flat, all-inclusive pricing model to avoid any surprise fees and minimise burn”
Founders & business leaders wanted the expert, outbound talent-attraction capabilities of a proven, global consultant combined with the commitment, process-management and sense of team provided by an internal talent function.
“Patrick Partners was established with exactly this purpose. A client-tailored model to support start-ups through early-stage growth with a detail-driven approach to securing top, domain-savvy talent”
Impactful solutions
Andrew Blair
Manager, Client Partnerships
The startup world has changed. ‘Growth at all costs’ has been replaced with ‘sustainable growth’. Founders and business leaders are being expected to tightly manage their burn rate & run leaner than ever before while still returning a positive ROI. As a result, startups need to hire proven talent with technical aptitude from within their domain to minimize hand-holding & reduce the ramp to independent productivity.
Serving as a consultative partner & recruitment expert, we support you with foundational appointments & domestic/international expansion utilizing our vast startup experience and extensive network within technical domains. We remain right by your side as you scale and offer various models of engagement to suit all needs.
“In addition to our proven, outbound candidate attraction strategies we handle as much of the hiring process as you wish & become an integral extension of your brand and team”
Our other services include but are not limited to:
- Inbound application processing, ATS & digital advertising management.
- Interview flow guidance, calendar coordination & feedback huddle chairing.
- Global salary data points & PAVE leveling, benefits & EOR selection guidance.
“We seamlessly embed within your team and deliver vastly reduced, time-to-hire outcomes without sacrificing upon quality”
From our founder
Employee of the year
Being raised in Yorkshire, England I learned the value of giving 150% to everything you do from an early age. You could say my life peaked at 17 when I was awarded ‘McDonalds Employee of the Year’.
My Grandad was a wool sorter at a local mill his entire life. I’ll tell you now that supporting great startups to scale is never going to come remotely close to the ‘hard shift’ he had to put in but I’m certain that my values of loyalty, resilience & hard work are the same as that of one, William Waterhouse.
All the gear and no idea
There wasn’t a sport I didn’t play as a child. ‘All the gear and no idea’ comes to mind but rugby would eventually take priority and I’ve been lucky enough to see the world playing the sport I loved.
I was never the person that scored all the points. I was never the strongest or the fastest but I do believe that my former teammates would point to my relentless endurance and commitment to being the first in to every tackle and to being a leader for our defense every single week.
We helped build that
I now bring my relentless commitment and Yorkshire work ethic to the startup world. At ‘Patrick Partners’ we are happy to be the the team players leading from the front to get the ‘W’ for our clients.
We go about our business behind the scenes away from the glamor & public accolades, relentlessly driven by a desire to play our part for founders & business leaders so that we can one day look back and say with pride, “we helped build that”.
