The recruitment industry has traditionally been slow to innovate, particularly in Italy, where services tailored specifically for startups are virtually nonexistent. Traditional agencies offer a generalist approach that often fails to address the unique needs of startups. The Right One breaks this mould by tailoring its services to the startup ecosystem.

The Right One’s edge lies in its deep-rooted experience in startup building and talent acquisition, bolstered by a vast network of seasoned professionals. This network is key in identifying candidates and providing a scalable methodology that enhances the recruitment process. With each new role, The Right One engages an extensive community of experts who enrich the search with quality referrals, ensuring that the candidates they bring to the table are not just good on paper but proven in action.

Our investment reflects a recognition of The Right One’s unique positioning. They offer something far beyond what conventional recruitment firms can: a tailored approach that prioritises cultural fit and an understanding of the startup life cycle. It’s a methodology that matches talent with the current job and the company’s future path.

StartupGym and The Right One are united in our commitment to a results-first philosophy. In an industry often clouded by jargon and exaggerated promises, we find clarity and purpose in straightforward measures of success. It’s not just about potential; it’s about tangible achievements.

This investment in The Right One is a strategic move that underscores our belief in their vision and capability to innovate within the talent acquisition space. We commend Ilaria, Diane and their team for their forward-thinking approach and dedication to excellence. With The Right One, we are confident that the startup ecosystem will be endowed with a calibre of talent that is adept and culturally attuned to the unique challenges and opportunities of startup growth.
