Adam Richardson

Co-Founder and Director

Meet Adam.

Adam is a Co-Founder and Managing Director of Strive.

Adam supports all of our key relationships, Globally, as well as having overall responsibility for the leadership of the company, including strategy, client management, line management of internal staff, operations and hiring world-class recruiters to join Strive.

A Quote that he lives by: "Intelligence without ambition is like a bird without wings".

A Fun Fact about Adam: He can do a 3x3 Rubiks Cube in 97 seconds!

"Nearly anyone who has been hiring people with the help of a recruitment firm will have faced the same dilemma: will they put as much or more effort into finding the right candidates for the role I have open as they put into getting me as a client?

This is where Adam and the team at Strive truly stand out. Yes, they work hard to earn your business which is great. But they work even harder to get you the right candidates, not just once as a lucky shot but consistently. And it’s not down to a single individual in the Strive team, it’s the culture Adam and Harrison built in their team which makes their approach and handling of candidates and customers alike so effective , professional and pleasant.

Since we started our engagement with Strive, it has been easy on me to cut off calls from other recruiters (sorry guys), the partnership we have with Strive is too valuable to us and brings us the results that we are looking for.

We always ask our candidates for their opinion on the interaction with the recruiter. And all of them give Strive an unconditional thumbs-up which is an important metric for employer reputation I believe.

Adam, keep on doing the great work you’re doing for us with your team - highly appreciate it."

Wim Van Campen,
VP of Sales, EMEA

"Adam and the team at Strive were introduced by our VC partner, Dawn Capital, to help us build out our EMEA go-to-market team.

Right from the off set, the team were pro-active and had a very thorough approach to understanding our company value proposition and culture. They were able tell the CluedIn story in a way that really engaged and prepared the candidates well for our interview process. Their ability to deliver in a timely manner was vital for us.

They were able identify and engage with a niche talent pool within the data space, which enabled us to be very selective with the individuals we hired. Over and above their candidate quality, something I found invaluable was their detailed market reports, this gave us a greater understanding of the talent pool and an in-depth insight into how we were perceived in the marketplace.

I would have no reservations about recommending the team at Strive if you are looking to build your go-to-market teams."
