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.

Networker of the Year 2022 | Mastermind Groups | Networking Events | Business Coaching

Running a business is hard. Doing it alone is even harder.

I founded Mastermind9 and Outside Ideas to help Small Business Owners grow.

With Outside ideas, I work one-to-one with a small number of coaching clients.(Please note, I’m currently at capacity.)

At Mastermind9, we’ve built a system that’s simple but seriously effective in helping business owners to grow.

After hitting their own glass ceilings, over 90% of our clients grew within 12 months of joining us.

Here’s what they get:

• Half a day a quarter for proper business planning

• Half a day a month in a mastermind group ( your own board of directors ) for ideas, encouragement, support and problem-solving

• Twenty minutes a week of focused accountability, so you stay working on what actually moves the needle.

• Plus a whole load of templates, tools, networking and support that's all designed to move you forward. 

Nothing overcomplicated or overly theoretical.

You know, the fundamentals most business owners never make time for, but absolutely need if they want to break through the glass ceiling.

Over the past few years, I’ve helped hundreds of small business owners:

Increase revenue without working more hours.

• Get clarity on where to go next

• Regain time for family, health and thinking space

• Build momentum and consistency

• Make better decisions, faster

• But don’t take my word for it — here’s what they said:

“I saw a £40,000 boost from actions I took from my group.”  Emma“

Our contract sales have improved by 127%.”  Robert“

I’ve grown into a real business leader.”  Kelly

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, stuck or unsure what to prioritise next.

This is where that changes.

We have groups for start-ups (earning under £50k), scale-ups between (£50k and £350k), and established businesses turning over from £350k into the millions.

If you’re curious to see if a mastermind group could work for you, I’d love to show you around.

Message me and I’ll give you a free virtual tour and lift the lid on what we do.

Or visit www.mastermind9.com to learn more

If you’ve read this far, chances are you're a business owner and you’re ready to grow.

You’ll find loads of free tools to help you gain clarity and momentum at www.mastermind9.com/free-stuff

Or if you’ve got a specific business problem you’d like to work through, I’ll gladly give you 20 minutes of my time.

Head to www.mastermind9.com/help and let me know what’s up.

Onwards and upwards, my friends.
