Even when the answer challenges the original brief.
Open Sourcing
Recruitment is a judgment business.
Open Sourcing is a founder-led partner for technology startups making hires that materially change the company.
Why Open Sourcing exists
Better context produces better hiring.
Andy founded Open Sourcing after 15+ years in startup recruitment across the US, UK and Germany. The lesson was consistent: hiring goes wrong when activity outruns understanding. Open Sourcing stays small so the person who shapes the brief is also accountable for the search, the candidate experience and the outcome.
How we behave
The standard is visible in the work.
Protect everyone’s time
Fewer profiles, purposeful conversations and no avoidable interview stages.
Keep candidates properly informed
Context before commitment, honest feedback and clear next steps.
Stay accountable after the introduction
Support the decision, offer and close, not just the handover.
