It's an evolution. In industries built on speed, scale and constant change, empathy isn't a luxury -it's what separates short-term gains from long-term success. At Intrinsic Talent, human-centred hiring isn't just a philosophy, it's in our DNA.
Our approach is built around deep listening - to uncover context, motivations, and potential - and to match candidates and companies on alignment, belonging and capability. This results in stronger long-term hires.
Empathy isn't just a soft skill; it's a system that delivers results. We design every step so candidates feel seen and supported, and clients receive fewer, better-aligned candidates.
We build transparency into every step - from sharing detailed briefing notes and having honest conversations about fit, to open feedback and clear guidance. This builds trust, and leads to better-aligned decisions.
We work as an extension of your team, building long-term relationships based on trust and respect. We communicate with honesty and transparency, so everyone can make decisions with confidence.
Transitions can be a lonely time for many. Through The Fire Circle, we create a space for reflection, support and shared learning across the tech landscape.
"Josh's approach is thoughtful, honest, and human which is a rarity. I trust his judgment completely, and I know he genuinely cares about getting the right fit for both sides."
I didn't quite believe you could have a human-centred, no pressure, patient and adaptable recruitment experience and that's what you get with Josh. You can also trust him implicitly."
"Josh and Lily have set up something very special and definitely unique. I couldn't be happier with what they do for us, how they do it and the authentic values they demonstrate."
"Josh has helped me to navigate a tricky job market, and although the new role I have found has not been through Josh, I would not hesitate to recommend him in a heart beat!"
"Lily brings a rare combination of emotional intelligence, commercial acumen, and refreshing transparency to the recruitment. She's not just a great recruiter; she's a genuine partner.""
