We came from LinkedIn. We kept seeing the same gap.
For years we were Enterprise Account Executives at LinkedIn, sitting across the table from the founders, Heads of People and hiring managers at Europe's startups, scaleups and SMBs, the people who pay for the tool.
Almost all of them already knew exactly who they wanted to hire. And almost all of them did the same thing: poured budget into job ads, campaigns and agencies to reach as many people as possible, while the handful of people they actually wanted weren't looking at any of it.
One question kept coming back: if you usually know exactly who you want, why wait for them to find you? Good employer branding was never about as many people as possible knowing you're a great place to work. It's about the right people believing it. That's relevance over reach.
HeyHuma is the answer to that question. A talent partner, not a recruitment agency, not an employer-branding agency. We reach exactly the people you want, personally and under your own name, and book the conversations. You show up for the part only you can do: the conversation itself.
The Huma is a Persian bird that always flies.
In old Persian poetry the Huma is forever in flight, high above the world. It is always in motion, and whoever it passes over, however briefly, is touched by fortune.
We liked the metaphor too much to ignore. The people you most want to hire are already in flight, working somewhere else, quietly content, never on the open market. Our job is to bring the fortune to your company: to reach them where they are, in your name, and start the conversation.

Over five years at LinkedIn Talent Solutions, most recently as Enterprise Account Director, sitting with hundreds of European hiring teams. Now working on hiring that is smarter, fairer and founder-first: relevance over reach, under your own name.
More than seven years at LinkedIn in enterprise sales, building the market across the Benelux. Co-founded HeyHuma on one conviction: a company's own name is its best recruiting tool, so the right people hear from you, never from a vendor.
Behind the service is sourcing technology we've been building for years, the engine that surfaces the signals a keyword search misses and backs every candidate with a real fit breakdown. It makes the work sharper; it isn't the thing we sell.
