Why clients love
It was a pleasure working with the team at Forme Partners on our search for a Chief Growth Officer. Their knowledge and expertise in the area of senior commercial mandates was evident from the start. They have a collaborative and challenging approach which is exactly what was needed in pinpointing this very important hire. They were responsive and flexible, introducing a number of very strong candidates against the brief and coupled with their data-led approach, delivered a great result. I would not hesitate to use them again and could not recommend them highly enough.
TravelLocal, Mark Hudson, Executive Chair
Forme were able to move with the search; which evolved drastically (based on our own parameters over time). They introduced a robust process - identifying with us A1 (top top) candidates and we met with over 8 - they had access to high quality, unreachable by our own network. Our weekly calls and WhatsApp group helped us exchange quick feedback. Very happy with our hire and will continue to work with Forme Partners.
Holidu, Johannes Siebers, Co-Founder
Working with Forme was very refreshing versus others we've worked with in the past. They took the time to deeply understand our business, and the needs of the role, and present candidates that intimately matched what we were looking for. They were also able to help us think through the pros/cons of different candidates without bias, ultimately helping us choose the right person with confidence. We will definitely work with Forme again.
TentBox, Neil Shurville, Managing Director
Working with Kate and her team has been a real pleasure. They definitely know their stuff and consistently bring in great candidates. They're not afraid to shake things up – whenever I need help with GTM and marketing searches, they're my go-to. In our most recent search, they found some really impressive talent that the board and management team are super happy with!

Thank you, Kate and all the team at Forme Partners for your phenomenal support on this critical search for Omio. It was a pleasure working with you and we all look forward to continuing our partnership for years to come.
Omio, Narem Shaam, Founder
Forme Partners have been very professional and knowledgeable and have greatly understood our industry and the employee market. All candidates presented were relevant to our search and treated by Forme Partners based on the highest standards. My advisors were available to me at any time, day & night, and were true partners in this process. I highly recommend Forme Partners for any executive search process.
Ardoq, Magdalena Jura, Head of Talent
Our placement is an absolute killer - one of our best hires! We gave Forme a challenging brief, and the team took time upfront to understand our business. They educated us on the state of the market and the implications of our preferences on candidate pools. Forme procured an excellent fractional executive to partner with us, providing extra insight and confidence that added value throughout the process. We are delighted with our critical hire and deeply appreciative of Forme's partnership.
Wayflyer, Aiden Corbett, Co-Founder
I have worked several times successfully on Go-To-Market hires. I would highly recommend the firm and Kate.

Forme Partners quickly showed a deep understanding of what we needed and the market operating more as a partner than a search firm. The quality of candidates that Forme sourced exceeded our expectations and we’re really excited to bring our new VP of Marketing into the business. The process felt like a collaboration and we couldn’t be happier with the end result.
Nothing, Carl Pei, CEO
With a few unsuccessful searches under our belt we began to think we were looking for a unicorn until we met Kate. She quickly understood the type of personality and experience required for the size of the business which led to short and effective search. I would not hesitate to recommend, and look forward to working with her in the future.
Missoma, Kathryn Morgan, CEO
Kate and team were brilliant partners for our commercial hire. Direct, smart, and fast. We met great candidates who were well prepared, iterated fast, and closed 6 weeks ahead of schedule.

Kate ensured to bring forward some of the strongest marketing candidates in Europe and we hired the best. What Kate does differently is her character and the DNA of Forme Partners, bringing emotional intelligence and a relentless professional attitude into the process.

Forme delivered in a big way. From initial scoping stage where they really helped us to define what we were looking for, through to shortlisting and interviews, where it was clear that the team truly understood the needs of our business, it was flawless. Direct and easy to work with. We won't hesitate to call on you for our next exec level hire.

Forme have been instrumental in building a world-class marketing function for Aira. The team very quickly understood the brief and delivered a stellar shortlist of which we could have made several hires. They understand the importance of domain expertise with cultural fit to make a successful placement for the candidate and the company. As ex operators, they have an extensive knowledge of the talent market in GTM roles. Aira will no doubt work with Forme again.
Aira, Pamela Brown, Group CMO & Commercial Director UK
Forme Partners has a strategic approach to finding top talent in the market. They sourced a large talent pool for a new leadership role that our company was hiring for. They did a great job calibrating, and interviewing the candidates in advance. They were patient, flexible and had strong communication and collaboration.
