About

Hey, I'm Matt! 👋 I capture the attention of outlier engineering & product talent, and help founders backed by Blackbird, Lightspeed, Tiger, AirTree, BOND, Square Peg, and heaps more to build teams that win. Job adverts capture 14-20 seconds of attention on average. A cold recruiter message barely reaches 8 seconds. My approach averages just shy of 6 minutes. That's 6 minutes spent learning about your opportunity, leaning in to what's on offer, and choosing to peruse it. While other opportunities are ignored, yours is prioritised. Too good to be true? I'd love to the chance to prove you wrong. Let's have a chat: https://app.reclaim.ai/m/matt-scouut/chat Aside from the day job of building wonderful startup teams, I also: - Blog, write guides & make videos about critical startup hiring - Host events and dinners for ambitious founders & operators - Partner with VCs to provide a portfolio level hiring advantage through webinars, workshops etc - Enjoy travelling, planespotting & carrying LoL games (peaked rank 14 EUW)

Hiring is an attention economy.
But when the average job ad gets read for less than 20 seconds, and the average recruiter email gets binned after ~8, are you really capturing the attention of the people you'd love to hire?
When Scouut takes an opportunity to market, we average 6 minutes.
That captured attention translates to higher buy in, less competition, and better quality hires.
And better quality hires directly correlates to better business outcomes.
Which is perhaps why Scouut clients have raised over $1.2B USD since partnering, off the back of more than 300+ critical engineering & product hires.
To take control of your critical hiring, and the outcomes those hires will achieve for you, book a call: https://app.reclaim.ai/m/matt-scouut/chat
