Ben Swanton
Founder, 808 Talent
As our industry continues to rapidly evolve with its innovative technology and creative solutions, we also confront significant challenges in talent, diversity, equality, and inclusion. At 808 Talent, we recognise these challenges and are committed to empowering our brilliant creative community to help overcome them.
We specialise in partnering with CEOs, founders, and investors of innovative startups and scale-ups in the Broadcast and Sports Media technology industries.
Operating globally, we are dedicated to helping visionary leaders achieve sustainable, scalable growth through our three distinct service offerings.
We tailor our recruitment services to meet each client's unique needs. Using our proven retained search methodology, combined with our deep market knowledge and expertise, we ensure you secure the right talent for your specific business requirements.
We offer personalised coaching services for career planning and executive leadership, alongside consulting for technology businesses on talent strategy, salary benchmarking, employee retention, wellbeing, and DEI initiatives.
We partner with top technology vendors, financial institutions, and consulting firms to support M&A due diligence. Our passion is in identifying strategic and financial buyers, ensuring cultural integration, and delivering thorough market assessments.
Ben Swanton has been an essential partner in our recruitment efforts, with deep expertise in the M&E sector and Media Tech. He's not just a recruiter, but a strategic advisor to business leaders, helping us shape and execute our talent strategy.
His understanding of our core values and company DNA has led to the successful hiring of key team members.
Ben’s professional style, perfect French, and sharp sense of humor make working with him a pleasure - despite his dangerously low golf handicap and quintessentially English charm. We highly recommend his services.
