Why we exist
We built Valuable Recruitment to help founders hire without wasting weeks on job boards or drowning in irrelevant applications.

Why this niche
Digital agencies, SaaS companies, AI automation businesses, and e-commerce brands share the same hiring problem: the roles that matter most are hard to fill fast, and the cost of getting it wrong is high.
These are not traditional enterprise environments. They move fast, have high expectations, and need people who have done it before, not people who need two quarters to ramp up.
We stay focused on this specific world because depth beats breadth. We know where the talent is, how to evaluate it, and how to close it.

Performance and operations
Meet Mihai
I started my career in talent acquisition working in-house, first in Romania and then across Central and Eastern Europe. Early on I was placing commercial and operations roles for fast-scaling businesses, a mix of local hires and candidates brought in from other markets.
That expanded quickly. Working with e-commerce operators and Amazon-focused businesses meant hiring across the US, UK, Philippines, India, and Latin America simultaneously. By the time I had led the build-out of full recruitment functions for companies like SellerPlex, where we placed over 200 people in Amazon Seller operations, and I had run searches across more than 70 countries.
In 2020 I founded Valuable Recruitment to do this work independently: focused on digital-first companies, leadership and specialist roles, and a model built around outcomes rather than volume. Every search comes directly through me. No handoffs, no account managers, no junior coordinators.
Career timeline
How the experience behind Valuable Recruitment was built.
In-house talent acquisition
Started in internal recruiting for mid-size businesses in Romania, placing commercial, operations, and customer-facing roles. Learned the fundamentals: sourcing, interviewing, stakeholder management, and what makes a hire stick.
Cross-border hiring for e-commerce operators
Moved into the e-commerce sector at a time when Amazon-native businesses were scaling rapidly. Began running searches across the UK, US, Philippines, India, and Latin America, simultaneously managing roles in multiple time zones with very different talent pools.
Building recruitment operations at scale
Led the build-out of full recruitment functions for fast-scaling operators, including SellerPlex, where the mandate was to hire for Amazon Seller operations from scratch. Over 200 people placed across the team. That project made the 70+ countries figure concrete. It was not a claim, it was a logistics problem we had to solve.
Founder, Valuable Recruitment
Founded Valuable Recruitment as a boutique headhunting firm focused on digital-first companies: marketing agencies, SaaS, AI automation, and e-commerce. The model is simple: founder led, structured process, no handoffs, shortlist in under 10 days.
