Gareth Hill at Hetr
Since 2007, Gareth Hill has been a key figure in technology recruitment for VC-backed businesses, significantly contributing to the growth and cultural evolution of some of London's and Europe’s most exciting startups. Widely known for having one of the largest networks among tech recruiters in London, Gareth is often approached by fellow recruiters, including competitors, seeking his assistance and access to his extensive connections. However, his "black book" of contacts remains a closely guarded asset.
Specialising in niche technical hires, Gareth has a proven track record of delivering highly sought-after engineering talent and strategic growth hires. His ability to connect scaling companies with best-in-class CTOs, VPs, and Heads of Engineering, along with quickly assembling Engineering teams, is unmatched. He is not just a recruiter but a team architect, frequently building high-performing teams around visionary leaders.
What truly sets Gareth apart is his vast network and active presence at major tech events worldwide. This “in-the-trenches” approach enables him to consistently deliver talent that exceeds expectations and meets the urgent needs of investor-backed companies, while securing truly 'off-market' and hard-to-reach hires.
Earlier in his career, Gareth focused on niche tech hires, many of whom have since risen to leadership positions—extending his global reach and influence. His instinct for delivering exceptional talent that can scale startups, and generate revenue is what sets him apart in this competitive market.
