About Role Call

We specialise in
hiring for scale.

I have spent 20 years recruiting across both enterprise and start-up environments, and I know firsthand that hiring for each is distinctly different.

The pace is different. The measures of success are different. So are the motivations, drivers, appetite for ambiguity and level of ownership required from the people joining the business.

The agency model has to be different.

My approach considers whether someone has the capability to do the role, but also whether they are suited to your stage of growth, operating environment, leadership team and what the business will require from them next.

This understanding shapes every part of the search, from how the opportunity is positioned and where candidates are identified, through to the questions we ask and the way each person is assessed.

We search for people who
  • are comfortable
    with pace.
  • thrive
    in change.
  • handle
    ambiguity.
  • are resourceful.
  • take
    accountability.
  • think
    future first.
  • have a
    global mindset.
  • build for scale
    from day one.
20+ years
Of recruitment experience. Your role is managed by me end to end.
Search based.
Not solely reliant on databases. I network and leverage my contacts across investors, VCs, PE, events and communities to know who and where the talent is.
Track record

The whole team.

We learn your vision, your culture, and the team you need to achieve it.

Unlike agencies that specialise in roles, we specialise in your team.

We have proven that we can deliver across industry verticals.

How we work with you

We become an
extension of your team.

The relationship doesn't pause between hires. We stay close to your business, whether or not a role is open.

Recruitment is one part of a much broader partnership.

01
Your goals, your vision
We stay close to your organisational goals, vision and ambition, not just the roles that are open.
02
Consulting, on tap
Time for organisational structure, role design, role scoping and salary benchmarking, whenever you need it.
03
When a role is active
We search and advertise, running a live, dedicated process for that hire.
04
When nothing is active
We keep a proactive lens on the calibre of people you'll need next, so you're never starting from zero.
In their words

The partnership,
from the other side.

Vanesha is one of those rare people who adds value well beyond the scope of the work. We engaged Role Call for a key hire and the process was seamless. She took the time to understand our business, our culture, and the kind of person who would thrive in it.

What has stood out most is everything around that. Vanesha has become a trusted sounding board for my ventures, consistently generous with her time, her feedback and her network. She genuinely cares about the founders she works with and it shows.

If you are building a business and looking for a recruitment partner who truly gets the founder journey, I cannot recommend Vanesha and Role Call highly enough.

Vanesha is someone who, when you find them, you want to hold on to forever. Not only does she have tremendous knowledge and wisdom in her field, but also a great overall sense of business.

Just catch up for a coffee with her and you will know what I mean.

Vanesha takes consulting to a whole new level through true partnering. She operates as though she is an extension of your business, building a deep understanding of your vision, purpose, values, operating model and objectives.

She is a critical thinker. She will tell you if you have not scoped your role quite right, if your process is fraught, and she will not place someone if they are not right.

She becomes your employer brand advocate, which is fun to work with and priceless. A connector at heart, she is always spotting people who could be good for your business. She loves introducing good people to good people, and it excites her to see the companies she works with thrive.

A super communicator, a smart and efficient businessperson, a connector, an expert questioner and a creative problem solver. My fullest recommendation possible.

The Birdeey advantage

We don't accept
the status quo either.

Like the businesses we partner with, we are constantly looking at how we can deliver stronger hiring outcomes. That is why we built our own product, Birdeey.

Job descriptions are not designed to engage or convert talent. Birdeey creates compelling, human role pages and structured interview processes that reduce bias and improve signal.

✓ Every Role Call client gets Birdeey, included.
Birdeey
01
Tell the real story
What the business is, why it matters, and what the role will actually entail.
02
Attract on mission, not title
Reach leaders energised by the work rather than people chasing a title.
03
Create an experience
We design a hiring experience that is reflective of your brand, your story, and how you want people to feel when they interact with you.
Higher quality candidate engagement
Faster time to decision
Better cultural and performance fit
Fees

We have a simple,
clear fee model.

Fees are agreed upfront and kept simple, with no hidden costs.

We understand that growing businesses are often hiring ahead of revenue or a raise. Where several roles are being recruited, fees can be structured monthly to spread the investment across the hiring period.

Standard
15% of base salary offered, on successful placement.
Multiple hires flexible
A monthly structure, so the cost is spread as your team grows.

Would love to partner
with you and the team.
