First Ten Executive Search and Talent Advisory

First Ten Executive Search and Talent Advisory helps growing companies make critical Technical and Go To Market leadership hires at moments that matter.

Founded and run by two operators. We deliver:
* Talent Advisory
* Retained Search
* Fractional / Interim Talent

These services are supported by AI-enabled process IP. This means evidenced-based decision making and greater speed, all underpinned by operator led judgement and transparency.

At First Ten we care deeply about the human experience of hiring and the ethical use of AI.  Our commitment to our values inspires us to build meaningful relationships every day.

In every engagement we seek to deliver maximum value for our partners.

First Ten is developing AI-enabled process IP across diagnostic work, role definition, market mapping, candidate assessment, workflow management and reporting. This allows us to combine human judgement and relationship-led delivery with more consistent, scalable and efficient execution. Over time, this supports a more productised service model rather than a purely time-for-service consultancy approach.

This is important to the growth potential of the business. By building repeatable service frameworks across Talent Advisory, Retained Search and Fractional Talent, supported by AI-enabled process IP, First Ten is designed to serve clients beyond Ireland. Our previous experience in global talent environments, senior stakeholder engagement and operational design directly support the successful development and scaling of our model to deliver real value and impact to our clients.
