How we work
Map the market
Precision search and market mapping to find the exact people — not just the available ones.
Engage relationship‑first
Warm, considered outreach — never spray‑and‑pray. We build trust before we pitch.
Deliver a fast, pre‑qualified shortlist
Four to six vetted candidates within ten working days — from brief to shortlist. Quality over quantity, always.
Support to placement and beyond
Managing the entire process and building a long‑term partnership that lasts well beyond day one.
A specialist practice, not a generalist agency.
Talentline is a founder-led, specialist finance recruitment practice. We focus on one narrow set of roles — finance leadership for PE- and VC-backed B2B SaaS companies across the UK, USA and MENA — rather than general finance recruitment. That focus is the point.
Direct founder involvement on every search
No brief is passed to a junior. We lead every search from first conversation to final offer.
A defined shortlist process
Four to six vetted candidates within ten working days — from brief to shortlist. You always know where things stand.
Honest feedback to both sides
Candidates get candid, constructive input. Clients get an honest read on the market and the talent available.

Industry insights and recruitment updates from Talentline
Zac — Founder of Talentline
I founded Talentline with one conviction: specialist recruitment should be precise, considered and relationship-driven — not transactional.
We focus on a deliberately narrow brief: finance leadership for PE- and VC-backed B2B SaaS companies. Financial controllers, FP&A managers, finance directors, VP finance and CFOs — the finance leader you actually need, at the stage you're actually at. Not general finance recruitment: five roles, done properly.
Every search is led by me personally. No brief is handed to a junior, and clients get a shortlist of four to six candidates within ten working days.
I work across the UK, USA and MENA, and I'm fluent in English, Arabic and Urdu. In a market where most finance search firms operate in one region and one language, that reach is what lets me run a search across all three.
