Emily + Matt - Founders

Traditional hiring models aren’t designed for technology startups and scale-ups.We’re here to change that.

Our mission: Giving technology startups and scale-ups professional talent infrastructure, from hire one onwards.

We’ve both worked in hiring since 2001. By the time Covid hit, we were so disillusioned with the industry we were ready to walk away forever.

We took some time to reflect on what we’re actually good at, and what kind of work we genuinely enjoy. Our inspiration for Cohort came from a project we worked on back in 2012; one where our skills and values felt completely aligned with what the customer needed.

So we built a business around that.

Finally, it feels like we’re building something that’s truly us.
