"When you hand good people possibility, they do great things."

Josh Kelly.
Principal Associate.
Josh was HartleyCo’s first team member and prides himself on being one of the most dedicated professionals in the industry. With eight years of experience in Headhunting, including the last two years specialising in Founding Hires for VC-Backed startups in SF, Josh connects top talent with high-growth start-ups and scale-ups across the globe.
He understands the strategic and operational challenges of AI teams and partners with founders and technical leaders to unearth candidates who not only have the right technical expertise, but also an adaptable and proactive mindset - essential for success in fast-paced start-ups.
Passionate about shaping the future of AI, Josh is committed to building teams that push the boundaries of what’s possible. Outside of work, he enjoys self-development, calisthenics, and supporting Chelsea FC.

Edward Temporal-Hughes.
Founder.
Ed is the founder of HartleyCo and day-to-day is still a hands-on recruiter, focussing on the Development sphere.
Ed’s role is that of a coach and mentor to recruiters coming through the business and also leading the delivery of a best in class service to our clients.
Outside of work you will find Ed on the golf course or enjoying spending time with his beautiful daughters and partner.

Chris Evans.
Senior Associate.
Chris helps startups and growing companies build killer technical teams by finding the best talent from top universities, research labs, and other successful startups.
His approach is all about getting specific and working together. He digs deep with founders to figure out exactly what "amazing" looks like for their company, creates a compelling story for why someone should join them instead of, say, DeepMind, and then zeroes in on the right people and companies to target.
He's built teams for startups backed by some of the biggest names in VC - Y Combinator, Khosla Ventures, Creandum, Kindred Capital, and General Catalyst.

Charlie Coughlan.
Associate.
Charlie is an incredibly smart young man who has recently graduated from Bournemouth University with a First Class Honours degree in Business with Human Resources and Personnel Administration.
Following a degree focussing on the HR & Personnel Administration side of Business, Charlie is well studied in the challenges our clients have in onboarding. This means he can guide them through the process and make their lives easier when it comes to recruitment.
Charlie is a fantastic sportsman and has played football to an elite level growing up. Charlie is a big Leeds Utd fan and has supported them from "before they were cool". However, nowadays due to Charlie's old age, he has now swapped his football boots for cycling cleats.
