Ryan Smith introduces Albany Engineering
We set up Albany Growth because we believe the traditional recruitment model is fundamentally challenged and does not align often enough, to the strategy of Hyper Growth organisations.
It’s an obvious fact that hiring the right people is good for business. Empowerment, learning and development and feeling part of the mission are often priorities for business and employees alike.
But it’s not only about hiring exceptional c-suite executives. For a company to excel in this increasingly competitive and fast paced world, it needs to hire well across the levels.
By embedding team members who can respond in an agile and competent way to leadership direction and are also smart enough to potentially become the stars of the future, companies increase employee retention, and therefore reduce many types of risk.
To do this effectively requires a considered and knowledge-based approach. Agencies often hire sales-orientated consultants resulting in surface level understanding and poor-quality outcomes.
So, like a high-end search firm, at Albany Growth we align ourselves to the client’s business objectives to understand the roadmap and the hiring requirements over the short, medium and the long term. Scale and stability need to work in unison, when they don’t people, business, and technology roadmaps veer in different directions, leaving the leaders of the organisation focused on everything else, other than leading and inspiring.
Our relationship with Albany Partners gives us an immediate unfair advantage – we have all the expertise, unrivalled research, references, and tools in place to apply our processes to help companies scale quickly BUT accurately.
I’ve been involved in helping Tech first companies scale teams for many years. The tech industry is amidst another period of huge growth – on a par with the dot com madness of the 2000s – and so being fast and smart across all levels of your hiring strategy has never been more important. Partnering the talent who will be the heart of these growth engines is an exciting prospect for me and the team. If you’d like to discuss more how we can help, please do get in touch.
