Introducing our new sister company,

Like the best AI model, StrategyFolk was reverse engineered into being. Our purpose? To discover the best way to find the best technical human capital. And do you know what? We’ve cracked it.
We’re great at finding those unicorn candidates at a global level, challenging what you believe to be the “right” choice, and providing value for years to come.
What we deliver:
We’ve got several verticals to help you with the right recruitment strategy.
Division
Executive Search

Specialist Project Teams
Talent as a Service (TaaS)
We Get the Brief, Then We Go Further
Anyone can take a job spec. We take it personally.
StrategyFolk deploys small, high-impact project teams of 1–5 trusted specialists to wow clients who’ve never even considered using recruiters before. Our understanding of strategy and how your business will grow allows us to help organisations deliver strategic, regulatory and operational change.
Our processes uncover opportunities where others might fall short, simply because we take the time to understand the business you’re representing. Once we know what boundaries you’re playing with, we push these, where strategically valuable, through conversations with CEOs. This could even represent restructuring opportunities.
We can deliver transformation and solve complex challenges for fast scaling businesses through our effective model.
The Secret
Sauce
Need specialised talent that no one else can seemingly find? We’ve sourced so many unicorns and hen’s teeth that we’ve had to expand the paddock. This is what we call the StrategyFolk Advantage.
We’re more than just another delivery partner or search firm. We actively challenge what you think you need. Why? Because the best relationships come from testing beliefs and having the flexibility to adapt. We know who’s good and who’s not, with the insight and referral networks to test and track. We’re a people business built for pace, precision and impact.
StrategyFolk moves fast, deploying pre-vetted project teams, contract specialists or board-level hires, backed by PiC’s trusted, quality-assured network. Once positions are filled, we don’t disappear; we stay accountable to keep everything moving forward.
Our Mission, Vision
and Values
Our mission is to forge enduring connections with exceptional professionals in our chosen sectors. We build teams with chemistry, not just capability. StrategyFolk is born from trust, so we’re not a consultancy pretending to understand people.
Our vision of success is to become the go-to ally for companies looking for technical recruitment, learning and development, and consultancy services. We’re powered by PiC, the trusted recruitment partner to the UK’s most risk-conscious sectors.
Our values are in our DNA. We always offer the highest standards of respect, integrity and transparency, and expect the same in return. Through our strategic insight, discreet market mapping and no-nonsense delivery, you get the right team for the job using our valuable insights.
Utilising our extensive client reach and passive candidate pools, we work on a global scale, with a strong presence in Europe, America, and APAC. This includes essential insurance markets like Korea and Australia.
When you use StrategyFolk, you’re not signing up to a limited pool of talent. We unlock the world for you.

Meet Your
Competitive Edge
We cannot emphasise enough how tailored our service is. There is no one-size-fits-all approach because what works for one company may not work for you. The nuance of every company is different, which is why we take the time to perform a deep dive into your BAU operations to see what works and where improvements can be made (even if it means shaking up departments).
As we always say, it’s not about the money; it’s about creating an amazing business. You can’t thrive unless the right partner has your back. That’s us.
