A talent partner who gets sharper with every search
OutScout pairs a dedicated talent partner with a platform that learns how you hire, so each search builds on the last instead of starting over.
What we hold ourselves to
- Transparency
You see where a search stands
Every search runs on one shared view: who is in the pipeline, what stage they are in, and why. Nothing lives in a talent partner’s private notes.
- Signal
Matches come from verified work, not keywords
We evaluate what a candidate has actually shipped and where they have actually operated, then bring forward the people who clear that bar.
- Momentum
Searches move, and you can see it
We track pace against your timeline and surface the moment a search slows, before it becomes a quarter you cannot explain.
How we run a search
Proactive sourcing
We go after candidates who are reachable and qualified rather than waiting on whoever applies.
A role defined before the search starts
We map out what success looks like for the hire before a single candidate enters the pipeline.
Calibration against your feedback
Every round of feedback narrows the next one, so the search gets sharper instead of repeating itself.
Gareth Webb
Founder and CEO · LinkedIn ↗
Gareth joined SThree in London as a graduate and inside four years was running a fifteen-person business placing quantitative researchers and engineers, the searches where the difference between a strong candidate and a plausible one costs real money. He then spent several years taking systematic trading strategies to institutional investors, and later grew Hired’s enterprise client base across the UK and Europe. He founded OutScout in Austin in 2018 to do critical hiring at scale.
Both halves of OutScout come out of that career: the dedicated talent partner is what he learned on the desk, and the platform underneath is what he learned from firms whose whole business was making judgment repeatable.
