Hire Right, Not
Just Fast.

Early-stage teams need more than a quick CV match. We treat your senior hire like a product sprint: deep discovery, expert screening, and a cultural fit that lasts. You hire once, and you hire well.

Book a Discovery Call

We translate your vision into senior talent with predictable, repeatable success.

Early-stage teams need more than a quick CV match. We treat your senior hire like a product sprint: deep discovery, expert screening, and a cultural fit that lasts. You hire once, and you hire well.

We are a do-tank. We help you map out what needs to change, why, and when. And we ensure that the change is not only well-thought-out, but also feasible and supported.

We live in a new era. A time in which hiring decisions are not only about skills or experience, but also about cultural fit, strategic alignment, and long-term growth.

Founded by Will Boss, after years of hiring and building product teams, BossHired exists to look beyond the CV. We uncover a person's drivers, cultural needs, and ways of working, because that is what creates long-term success.

What our community says about us

From our first conversation, I realised Will wasn’t a typical recruiter. He was genuine, professional, asked thoughtful questions and communicated exceptionally well with great humour. He made my relocation to London seamless and placed me in under four weeks

Julia Harper

Lead Product Designer

Will found me a role that matched my skills and stage of career and did far more than just connect me. He boosted my confidence, supported me through the process, and genuinely cared. I got the job and we’ve remained in touch ever since.

Sam Harris

Lead UX Designer

I’d just left a toxic workplace and Will met me with empathy and rare emotional intelligence. He worked with founders to shape a role that didn’t exist and acted as a trusted advisor the whole way. He uncovers gaps and opportunities others miss.

Rafe Welsh

Founder's Associate

Will placed me in a great role in 2022 but it was his thoughtful approach that stood out. He truly understands the design and research space and what both sides need. I still seek his perspective on the tech scene and trust his insight and connections.

Paul Woodley

Lead Product Designer

After 250 unsuccessful applications for a Senior Designer at Sequel, I turned to Will. He was transparent, quick, and a pleasure to work with. He found our ideal designer among his first three candidates. If you’re struggling to hire for design or product, I recommend him
