About TrustyRecruit

A small team that
runs every search itself

No researchers handing off to consultants handing off to account managers. The person you brief is the person calling candidates and sitting on your shortlist review.

Who you will actually work with

Vikki Bond

Vikki Bond

Founder & Executive Search Partner

Vikki founded TrustyRecruit after a decade in agency and in-house search, most of it spent fixing hiring processes that other people had broken. She leads every executive and leadership search personally, and still calls candidates herself.

Olena Savchyshyn

Executive Business Partner

Olena runs the operational side of every search — scheduling, client onboarding, and the client portal — so nothing sits waiting on admin. She's often the first person you'll hear from after your initial call with Vikki.

How we work

Four commitments we hold ourselves to

01

One recruiter, start to finish

The person who takes your brief runs the search. No handoff to a delivery team you have never met.

02

Nothing charged upfront

We invoice after your hire starts, across the 90-day guarantee. Our incentive is the same as yours.

03

Shortlists we can defend

Four or five candidates with written scorecards, not forty CVs forwarded without comment.

04

Feedback within 48 hours

To candidates and to clients, every stage, whatever the answer. Silence is how good people get lost.

Our story

From one desk to 25 hiring teams

December 2025

TrustyRecruit founded

Vikki left agency search to run engagements the way she had always argued they should be run.

April 2026

First embedded engagements

Two Series A clients asked for a recruiter inside the team rather than per-hire fees. The RPO practice started there.

March 2026

Client portal launched

Live pipeline visibility for every client, built because status-update emails were the most common complaint we heard.

August 2026

Fees moved into the guarantee

We stopped charging anything upfront. Payment now sits entirely inside the 90-day replacement period.
