About Us
TaylorBaynes International Headhunters recruits Sales, Marketing, Technical, and Product individuals, especially for venture-backed technology vendors.
We source top-performing professionals to solve our clients' global hiring needs. Setup in 2010 by two business partners combining three decades of global head-hunting experience, we aim to provide a truly personal, executive search-level quality of service to our client base.
After several years of international recruitment, delivering on North American hiring projects, and with an expanding network across VCs, PE funds and start-up founders in the USA and Canada, in 2022, TaylorBaynes positioned its first Director located in Texas, USA
The key to our success is understanding every client’s needs and being flexible enough to present a unique search process offering for every search we undertake. We have an established search process that produces results of a consistently high quality, and given our
strong industry specialization, we have earned a reputation for excelling at challenging assignments. With a commitment to excellence, and a belief that rigor and thoroughness yield the best results, our diligence in identifying the right individuals for our clients is something we take very seriously.
30 years of international recruitment market experience, representing world class opportunities to leaders in the industry, has given us outstanding networks and “friends” across the industry.
Our clients are based all over Europe, and North America. We assist them with Commercial and leadership hiring across all major geographies. We find the appropriate people wherever they are, using our borderless search approach and leading-edge research capability.
We are flexible in our approach. Each search is unique, and we create bespoke processes to suit the needs of our clients. We never give up and thrive on challenging searches. We
commit the knowledge and experience of every member of our team and work together
to gain the trust and respect of our clients.
