Hi there,

I’m Mihai Arsene, Talent Partner and Founder at Valuable Recruitment.

I help ambitious and growing companies hire top talent across Digital Marketing, Software Development, Engineering, and more recently AI Automation and AI Agents.

I specialize in C-level and middle management recruitment for startups and scaling companies, especially those building the future with AI, automation, and digital innovation.

Whether you’re building an AI agent development team or scaling your commercial operations, I help you land the right talent faster and with better decision quality.

Over the years, I kept seeing the same hiring problem repeat itself
Great people making decisions with poor structure.

That’s why I also built Hire Like a Pro, a lightweight hiring platform designed to bring structure into the hiring process.
It helps founders and hiring managers:
Define roles clearly
Create objective scorecards
Assess candidates based on evidence, not gut feel
It’s the same methodology I’ve used for years, now available as a product.

What makes working with me different

Topgrading methodology
I streamline hiring decisions by up to 70% using Topgrading principles. Experience, competency, potential, and culture fit are assessed in a structured way. My shortlists perform.

Global reach, boutique care
Over 70 countries. Built almost entirely on referrals. Valuable Recruitment runs on long-term relationships, not volume or cold outreach.

Deep understanding of AI and tech talent needs
I spend real time understanding AI automation, LLMs, and agent development so conversations go beyond CVs and buzzwords. I stay close to the tools, roles, and trends shaping the next wave of tech.

Diverse industry roots
From pharma to BPOs to eCommerce, I’ve worked across industries and functions. That background helps me match people based on mindset, values, vision, and mission, not just experience.

Diversity and inclusion is a must-have
Great teams are built intentionally. I help companies design inclusive hiring approaches that attract strong talent across backgrounds.

If you want to recruit with more clarity, less bias, and better outcomes, we should talk.

DM me if you want to hire smarter in the AI era and beyond.

Short rant incoming

I’ll never understand this one

A job post is written in English
The company is remote
The working language is clearly English

Yet some candidates still send CVs in their native language…
while listing “English: fluent” in a language I can’t even read.

I’m not questioning skills or experience
I’m questioning judgment!

If communication is core to the role, the application is the first signal!

Am I missing something here, or is this just poor attention to detail?

Hiring on gut feel is expensive

I’ve seen too many founders say:
 “Something felt off… but we hired anyway”

So I built a small tool that brings structure into hiring:
- Clear role definition
- Objective scorecards
- Evidence-based interviews

The job description generator is free

 I’m opening it up to founders who are hiring and willing to give feedback.
If that’s you, drop a comment or DM me.

Before you interview anyone, you should be able to answer one thing clearly:

What does success in this role look like in 3 - 6 -  12 months from now?

Not only responsibilities

Not only traits

Actual outcomes that you can track, measure and evaluate against.

If you can’t answer that, great interviews won’t save you.
