Over the last 15 years, Piers successfully placed thousands of candidates with hundreds of clients in Investment Banking, Private Equity and Legal. At 22, Piers was the youngest equity holder in Dartmouth Partners Group and took the business from £0 to £5M ARR. Through this experience he found that he was not placing the best talent but the people that knew most about the industry, usually through their parents. When he met Esther, they discovered a shared mission to create a level playing field for all young people to access the right career for them and the seed for hundo was planted.
