RE:DISCOVER

What RE:DISCOVER does

RE:DISCOVER is a UK-based boutique recruitment consultancy founded in 2018 by Craig Sharman and joined by partner Siobhan Nutt in 2022. The firm specializes in placing sales, marketing, and eCommerce talent for ethical, innovative non-food consumer brands, operating as a two-person team based in Braintree, United Kingdom. Its client roster includes enterprise names such as Logitech, Bandai, Asmodee Group, Osmo, Homedics, Nextbase, IMC, Marley, and FKA Brands.

The company's core offering is a single integrated recruitment service covering talent sourcing, candidate placement, and long-term partnership-based hiring across three practice areas: establishing sales and marketing teams in new geographies, supporting start-ups and growth brands, and sourcing eCommerce specialists for platforms such as Shopify, Alibaba, and Amazon. There is no proprietary technology product; the service is delivered through direct, relationship-led outreach by the founders. RE:DISCOVER explicitly does not post roles on job boards or advertise placements, instead leveraging a warm network in which over 70% of sourced candidates are passive or inactive job seekers.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based placement fees (a percentage of the placed candidate's salary or a fixed placement fee), with pricing not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and direct, relying on referrals, LinkedIn presence, and proactive client outreach rather than paid marketing. The firm is privately held, bootstrapped, and serves clients primarily in the EMEA region, with the ability to support cross-border mandates such as Asmodee's North America operations. The firm holds UK company number 11351828 and operates as a GDPR-compliant data controller.

Core offering

RE:DISCOVER is a boutique recruitment consultancy that places sales, marketing, and eCommerce professionals into ethical, innovative non-food consumer brands. Its service spans three specialisations: establishing sales and marketing teams in new countries/regions, supporting start-ups, growth brands and turnarounds, and sourcing eCommerce specialists for global platforms such as Shopify, Alibaba and Amazon. Delivery is grounded in deep client immersion and proactive outreach to passive and inactive candidates rather than job-board advertising.

Product overview

RE:DISCOVER is a boutique recruitment agency offering specialized staffing services for ethical, innovative consumer goods companies. The company operates as a single unified service offering — professional recruitment consultancy for sales, marketing, and eCommerce roles — rather than a platform with distinct software products or modules. Their service encompasses talent sourcing, candidate placement, and long-term partnership-based recruitment across three key areas: establishing sales and marketing teams in new markets, supporting startups and growth brands, and sourcing eCommerce specialists for global platforms.
