Hiring Intelligence

Hiring is broken.

Great people are being missed.
Every. Single. Day.

I'm Barnaby Andrews. I help companies fix that.

"AI can screen a thousand CVs in seconds. It cannot recognise the person who will change your company forever. That takes a human."

"Potential isn't visible. It has to be found. AI screens a thousand CVs in seconds. It can't recognise the one who changes your company. That takes a human. Lose them, and someone else won't."

"Being good at your job used to be enough. It isn't anymore. Competence is the minimum, not the proof. What protects you now is visibility, judgement, and the will to adapt. Stay invisible, and you won't see it coming until it's already gone."

Ready for an honest conversation?

Hiring the wrong person is expensive. Hiring no-one is worse.

If your business is losing time, money or momentum because you can't find — or keep — the right people, that's not a recruitment problem. That's a business problem. And it needs to be treated like one.

I don't recruit. I don't place people. I advise.

I work with business leaders to identify exactly where their hiring is breaking down — the process, the decision-making, the culture, the cost — and I help them fix it.

Whether you're an SME trying to scale or a larger organisation that's lost confidence in your hiring, if you're ready for an honest conversation, I am.

No pitch. No hard sell. Just clarity.

The hiring industry moves fast.
Most of what gets written about it is noise.
