Reads as

a commercial number two ready to be number one

Eight years of steady progression inside one FMCG business, ending with the whole commercial line and the multiple-retailer relationships that go with it. A client will ask whether she has ever built commercial from scratch, rather than run one that already worked.

How a search firm reads you. Sixty seconds, honest.startuproles.co/read

01

Paste your LinkedIn

Nothing to fill in. Radar reads the public profile the way a partner reads it: the scope, the progression, the numbers, and what is missing.

02

Read for your level

Before a partner puts anyone forward at a level, they look for evidence of a short list of things. Radar checks your profile against that list for your level and the next, item by item.

03

Claim it, post it, or delete it

Confirm it is you and the card is yours to share, with your name on it. Keep it and you are on the radar for every new search. Or delete it, in one click.

Keep it and you are on the radar

A partner reads every profile. You always know where you stand.

Ten minutes with Radar turns the read into a profile the partners check against every senior search we take on. When one fits, a partner invites you, anonymised, for your yes or no. Nobody sees your name before you say yes.

The distance

How far you are from the roles you want, counted against real briefs at your level, and what would close it. Not career advice; how our desk reads the market.

Where you stand

On every search you enter, a private page shows the stage and the next step, in plain English. When it closes, you get the reason.

Who this is for

Senior non-technical operators. Sales, marketing, operations, finance, people, GMs and MDs, manager to C-suite, in UK and Irish startups and scaleups.

If that is you, the read will be sharp. If it is not, Radar will tell you plainly that our desk is not where your next move is, which is still worth sixty seconds.
