OUR STORY

Understanding that sustainable growth isn’t achieved through reactive hiring or chasing impressive resumes, Berg prioritizes thoughtful sequencing and long-term team structuring.

Portfolio

How Berg are helping Metagravity to scale

Metagravity

Metagravity secured $9.5 million to commercialize their technology after spending two years validating it. With a strong demand for their technology, they needed to quickly bolster their technical team but lacked a dedicated recruitment function to manage the necessary hiring scale. To address this, Berg Search provided two talent consultants to oversee the complete recruitment process after conducting an onboarding session and thorough industry research on the technology's potential. For technical positions, Metagravity sought to hire expertise across various areas, particularly requiring a significant number of Unreal Engine developers, engine programmers, and systems engineers. To compete with AAA studios, Berg Search implemented sales techniques to create personalized outreach messages, achieving response rates of 30-40%, compared to the typical 10-20%. Once interest was generated, Berg Search conducted initial interviews tailored to evaluate candidates' values and cultural fit, followed by reference checks to assess their impact on previous teams. They continued to support Metagravity through subsequent interviews until the job offers were accepted. In terms of non-technical roles, Metagravity needed to recruit several producers and creative executives with proven track records. For this, Berg Search analyzed the video game industry and employed unconventional methods, like examining video game credits, to identify top performers. Each outreach message was carefully crafted to enhance response rates, and senior candidates underwent two hours of interviews before being presented to Metagravity as part of a shortlist.

How Berg found a CEO for a fintech firm

Marble Bar Asset Management

Marble Bar Asset Management is among the UK's leading multi-manager hedge funds, leveraging a distinctive technological advantage that aids its managers in making more informed investment choices. Additionally, MBAM developed and sold the compliance platform Red Deer. The challenge they faced was that they had created an impressive technology that consolidated all the messages and alerts received by their fund managers, presenting them only when pertinent. This no-code platform greatly minimized the risk of information overload and clarified the investment decision-making process. The founding team recognized the technology's potential in related markets but lacked the time to explore these opportunities. They needed an entrepreneurial individual who could take charge of the mission and expand the product into new markets. To address this, Berg Search conducted a results-oriented assessment to determine the founding team's expectations for this new executive. Initially, they concluded that the first hire would need to decide which markets to target before forming go-to-market teams. They began by identifying consultants with an entrepreneurial spirit and subjected them to a thorough evaluation process, including a one-hour interview where candidates presented their strategies for the project. Later, they shifted focus to former entrepreneurs, utilizing their extensive network of founders, which led them to a highly skilled founder who had successfully exited his previous company and was seeking his next challenge. As a result, Berg Search enabled Marble Bar to secure this highly sought-after hire at a cost that was 70% lower than typical executive search fees.
