We engage with your team to comprehend your history, vision, growth plans, and the distinct dynamics of your culture. We familiarize ourselves with your stories, your team, and the challenges and opportunities you encounter.
This enables us to effectively represent your organization to candidates and view potential fit from your perspective. We assist in refining your position description, ensuring it serves as a compelling marketing and communication tool while maintaining consistent language and evaluation throughout the process.

This approach allows us to present your opportunity in the most favourable manner while ensuring the best possible match for your team.

We aim to attract and engage exceptional candidates while ensuring an ideal fit for both them and your business. We conduct multiple informal interviews with candidates, evaluating their experience, capabilities, leadership style, values, and motivators. We also gather insights from formal and informal references.
Managing the Process & Ensuring the Best Outcome:

What Our Clients Are Saying

Petra Pohl
EVP Corporate Operations

What stands out the most about working with Artemis is the time the team spends getting to know our company and the key players in order to convey the Cognitive story. The Artemis team has talent for generating enthusiasm about our company and the opportunity, in many cases where candidates weren’t planning on making a move.

Sheldon Fernandez
CEO

Artemis provided us not only with an incredible pool of talent to choose from, but truly paid attention to what we needed. In searching for a CTO and VP of Product, we needed a partner to locate individuals who met our exceptionally high standards, which was a big challenge in this market. Moreover, they also needed to be a cultural fit which wasn’t easy, but Artemis found us two incredibly exceptional employees who are great people; kind, cooperative, zero ego and that is rare.

Mike Rossi
Founder & CEO

We’ve worked with Artemis for a number of roles, including several members of our executive team! It was a no-brainer to partner with Artemis on these searches; their team is super organized, very in tune with the market, and highly effective in conversations with senior executives. They’ve helped us with our most important hires and I would highly recommend them to other growing tech companies.
