Founded by Ali Karoum
I’ve spent more than ten years recruiting on both sides of business: inside large corporations, with their structure, approvals and scale, and inside small businesses, where everyone wears several hats and every hire changes the team. I know how both really operate.
I’ve also recruited at every level, from entry-level roles to C-suite leadership. That taught me the reality on each side: what candidates hope for and worry about, and what leaders actually need to move their business forward.
I created Mutuo Talent to bring those two worlds together — a place where candidates find the job they’ve been hoping for, and companies find the needle in the haystack. We’re more than a boutique firm: we’re a partner that wants both sides to win. Let’s work together.
Mutuo is Latin for “mutual”: a hire only works when both sides care.
