Built on placements that stick
Northstar Talent started in 2015 with two consultants and one desk. We now run four desks from one office, and we still measure ourselves on a single number: how many of the people we place are still in the role a year later. Last year it was 92%. The rest of this page is how we get there.
The desks
Six consultants, four sectors, one office. Every role is owned by one of these people.
