About

Hi, I’m Pritesh — a recruitment and talent specialist with over 15 years of experience in Product and Tech hiring, spanning both agency and in-house environments. I’ve had the privilege of connecting exceptional talent with innovative companies — from fast-moving startups to global tech leaders — helping individuals take their first steps or make strategic career moves at senior levels. Over the years, I’ve partnered with some incredible brands, including DeepMind, Spotify, Google, Uber, Revolut, Toyota Connected, Schibsted, Cazoo, WellTech, R/GA, Sapient, Zalando, and N26, among others. For the past eight years, I’ve led Pixel Pond, a specialist recruitment agency focused on Product and Tech. Alongside hiring, I provide career coaching and insights to help professionals thrive in an ever-evolving tech landscape. As a recognised voice in the industry, I regularly speak at events like Recruitment Expo, D&AD, and Experience Haus, and contribute to publications such as Campaign Magazine—with a focus on diversity, inclusion, and the future of work.
