About

Founder @ Curated. I’ve been hiring into Product and Engineering teams since 2012, working with venture-backed start-ups, scaling tech companies and established global businesses. Over that time I’ve: • Led recruitment teams responsible for $15m+ in annual salaries • Hired into companies that have gone on to exit for $700m+ • Supported teams through IPO, including one exceeding $8bn Different stages. Different markets. Different pressures. In 2023, I launched Curated to work more closely with companies building serious technology. Today, we partner with tech businesses across growth stages to hire senior Product and Engineering talent who can operate in real environments and deliver meaningful outcomes. I spend my days speaking with Founders, CPOs, CTOs and Senior ICs. That vantage point gives a clear view of how hiring expectations are shifting, where teams get stuck, and what strong operators actually look like in practice. On this page, I share: • Hiring strategy in evolving markets • Product & Engineering trends • Patterns I see across leadership teams • Lessons from building Curated If you’re building in tech and care about getting hiring right, feel free to follow & connect. matt@wearecurated.io
