HIRING WORKSHOPS & ADVISORY

Share what works when building an early-stage team.

Workshops built on real startup searches

SGS works across early-stage executive, engineering, AI, product, and GTM recruitment. We have led hiring workshops for incubators, venture investors, and startup talent teams, sharing practical guidance on hiring priorities, candidate assessment, and building an effective process.

For incubators and VC portfolios

We have advised incubators such as LvlUp Ventures and Elpis Labs, helping startup cohorts plan their first U.S. hires, map near-term talent needs, and prioritize critical roles after funding.

For founders and startup talent teams

Workshops cover how to write a clear role brief, decide which positions to hire first, assess startup-ready candidates, structure interviews, and set realistic compensation and hiring timelines.

Useful takeaways, not generic theory

Sessions are tailored to the stage and challenges of the group. Founders leave with a clearer view of the hiring sequence, common mistakes to avoid, and how to run a more focused search.
