Following a £15m Series A, Finbourne needed a search partner who understood early stage and could recruit across product, engineering, and GTM in order to shift from a technology-led to a product-led culture. Candidates needed to have a high technical bar as well as strong commercial skills to shape propositions and engage with customers.
Scene supported hiring across these functions, ensuring alignment between technical delivery and commercial execution. Across a 3-year period post Series A, Scene built several teams and placed 25 people.
The output from these teams led to a successful Series B raise and a 5x increase in ARR. One Scene placement on the Product side built Luminesce 0-1, now one of Finbourne's best-selling products, and product hiring plans grew from 1 FTE to 4 FTE due to the quality of Scene candidates.
The outstanding search firm I have worked with in my career to date - we wouldn't have achieved the funding, growth and ARR milestones without the product team Scene built
Would 100% recommend Scene to other founders and product leaders
