“Through my experience of working with numerous recruiting agencies, I’ve learned that they are indeed not all created equal. Choosing the right agency for your company’s stage, the specific role, and hiring location is key. Never settle. I had the fortune of working with Neha, Ashley, and Nathaniel from Trifecta Talent in Fonoa. They helped us build a team of over 100 strong. Now, we’re on a journey together to build an amazing TrustPath team. We’ve already hired exceptional engineers and salespeople – All part of our mission to build trust in AI.”

Customer Introduction: Trustpath AI is a seed-stage, Dublin HQ’d, remote-first startup founded in 2023 that has secured over €1m in funding to date. The solution enables companies that are driven by artificial intelligence to effortlessly navigate customer compliance questions, offering clarity on AI operations and data handling.
The Objective: TrustPath AI is a newly founded technology startup that needed to hire two Founding Engineers and one Sales Rep. The objective was to secure these hires but to ensure they were of high caliber, possessed a mix of leadership potential with ownership in their career, were still hands-on, had a hacker mindset, yet could think strategically and have knowledge of the regulatory and compliance space. To get these ‘purple squirrels’ we had to get in the mind of the Founder and work very closely with him.
In a highly competitive market, Trifecta had to figure out where to headhunt these candidates, and to do so quickly. In collaboration with TrustPath AI, we had to look at how to effectively assess candidates for suitability as one of the business’s first employees. Trifecta had to ensure TrustPath AI had an excellent founding team in Q1 2024.
The Solution: Trifecta tailored a recruitment strategy to meet TrustPath AI’s needs. Though we were external partners to them, a combination of agency-style proactivity and drawing on our in-house experience was critical in successfully finding, assessing, and securing the x3 hires.
Trifecta created a market map of companies, breaking down every possible target across core geographies. Live salary and equity data were sourced and provided to the business for current and future hiring insights. As partners to TrustPath AI, Trifecta created an interview and assessment framework to support the Founder in his interviews to ensure there was no stone left unturned during the interview process.
The Result:
- As experts, Trifecta leveraged their sourcing and assessment capabilities across their vast networks to find all three hires for the business. Trifecta shortlisted the very best candidates securing the Founding Engineers and Founding Sales Rep. Three critical roles for this new start-up.
- Insights into salary, equity, and useful feedback on the space TrustPath AI is entering from individuals in the same market were helpful for current actions and future initiatives.
- Trifecta supported the creation of job descriptions, offer letters and an effective recruitment process for the assessment of current and future hires.
