About
Built by someone who did this in-house for eleven years.
Eleven years hiring product, tech and design teams in-house, seed stage to IPO. Now the same work, from the outside, for a handful of teams at a time.
Why this exists
teraiso exists because of a pattern that repeated at every company I worked in.
The hiring that mattered most, the first product manager, the design lead, the engineer who set the bar for everyone after them, got the least care. It went to whichever agency had capacity, off a job spec nobody had read twice.
Meanwhile the work that actually produced good hires, sitting with the team, learning what they were building, understanding why the last person in that seat left, was work no external partner was ever paid to do.
So that's what we sell: that work, applied to hiring product, engineering and design teams at the size where those hires still change the company.
Who
Eleven years in talent, most of it in-house.
Teams still finding their first product hire, and a 500-person product and tech org inside a 5,000-person company that went public (talabat, part of Delivery Hero). Both ends of that range, so I know what breaks at each stage and roughly when.
Trained in design, several years in employer brand, which is why we can tell you why your job spec isn't landing and rewrite it the same day.
Based in Athens. Working across Europe, MENA and Southeast Asia.

The name
Terasu. To shine, or to illuminate.
We picked it because most of this job is making things visible: what a team actually needs, what a candidate actually did, and what the market actually looks like when you stop guessing.
Where we work
Athens, and three regions.
Registered as an IKE in Greece. Clients and searches across Europe, MENA and Southeast Asia.
Cross-border hiring is how we work, not a pitch. The best person for a role is usually not in the same city as the role, and someone has to handle what follows from that.
