“The change was truly amazing. Much of the shared frustration was removed…we started to feel that we were firing on all cylinders…it was truly a great time at the company.”

gro.team and Rory are very focussed and sharp in terms of that art of matching solution to need. Commercial, positive, pacy - a great experience.

As a candidate for a C-Level role, I can highly recommend Gro.Team, who manage to be both highly professional and friendly and engaging. With a level of technical expertise that many candidates can only dream about, unlike some recruiters Rorie not only knows his stuff inside-out but also understands what you're looking for, and is genuinely motivated to find a match that suits both business and candidate equally.

We used GRO.TEAM to iron out internal issues with CTOs, they also helped us to revise our way of working and helped us with a very successful growth hacking campaign.
They took us through a full consultation assessing what was and wasn't working internally - they also helped with internal mentoring for some of our staff.
Overall - exceptionally good service and a fantastic business to work with.
