Who We Are
What Drives Us
How It All Began
For over 25 years, our Founder, Andrew Britton, has been a leader in executive search across Asia. Working with top banks, multinational corporations, VCs and startups, he has been a partner in the search for talent and leadership in the region. What became increasingly clear to him through conversations with the c-suite was the importance of hiring diverse talent and the desire to consider a candidate holistically. Andrew realized that video engagement tools had the potential to transform recruiting and could be a huge asset in helping both applicants and reviewers make wiser choices. And so gradGREENHOUSE was born.
The products that Andrew envisioned are now helping employers make better hiring decisions and enabling candidates to stand out in a very competitive marketplace. gradGREENHOUSE creates global access to opportunities, facilitates recruitment of diverse talent and streamlines the application process to put the control back in the hands of candidates and recruiters. Our virtual engagement platforms focus on the people side of admissions and recruitment - engagement, connection and authenticity. And the rest is history.
