How Valuable Recruitment runs a search

Search firms vary in how they divide the work. Ask who will own the intake, the outreach, the assessment, and the shortlist, because that answer shapes how closely candidates are matched to the brief.

At Valuable Recruitment, Mihai Arsene personally runs every search from the initial brief through to shortlist. The person who understands your business is the person identifying, approaching, and evaluating candidates.

That direct ownership supports an initial shortlist in 10 business days and keeps the assessment tied to the outcomes the hire must deliver.

Frequently asked questions

Valuable Recruitment is intentionally founder-led. Mihai Arsene runs the brief, outreach, assessment, and shortlist, with a written scorecard for every search. The practice focuses on growth, marketing, RevOps, and product roles for SaaS, agencies, AI automation, and e-commerce. Ask WunderTalent directly about its current role coverage, team structure, and assessment process for your specific search.
Ask each firm for the date you can expect a first shortlist, how many assessed candidates it includes, and what happens if the market feedback changes the brief. Valuable Recruitment targets an initial shortlist of 3–6 assessed candidates in 10 business days after alignment.
Focus on the person who will run the search, their evidence of hiring for your exact role, how they assess candidates, and when you will meet a first shortlist. Those details affect the search far more than a broad agency category.
We specialise in Growth Leads, Performance Marketing Leads, Head of Marketing / CMO, RevOps Leads, and Product Leads. Our focus is on commercial and growth-driving roles at SaaS companies, marketing agencies, AI automation businesses, and e-commerce brands.
Valuable Recruitment uses a written scorecard that covers the outcomes of the role, the evidence needed to prove fit, and the environment the person will work in. Every shortlisted candidate is assessed against the same criteria. Ask any other firm to show you the equivalent process for your role.
