Alan Furley's Linkedin Analytics

Every great startup is built by great people. But hiring them? That’s where most founders struggle. I help VC-backed founders hire with confidence, building teams that scale, thrive, and stick around. Too many founders rush into hiring without a clear plan, ending up with the wrong people in the wrong roles. I work with brilliant founders to define what success looks like, align hiring with their mission and values, and navigate the talent market strategically. I also partner with VCs who know their portfolio companies need the right teams to succeed. As a founder myself, I know hiring isn’t easy. I’ve built and led teams, made mistakes, and learned what works through experience - not just theory. With 20+ years in recruitment and having partnered with with 100+ startups, I bring a rare mix of founder insight and deep hiring expertise. Recruitment is full of short-term thinking and transactional players. I take a different approach - building long-term partnerships that help startups hire for impact, not just headcount. I build relationships more Tiffany & Co 💍 than Tinder 👈 If you’re a founder or investor serious about hiring well, let’s talk. Follow me for insights or send me a message - I’d love to help.
