Hi, I’m Leigh. I founded Rayse to bring together my love for people, technology and the natural world.
Climate Tech is one of the most innovative, urgent movements of our time, and it’s a privilege to support the leaders shaping a better future for our planet.
Effective hiring goes beyond a checklist of skills; it’s about recognising potential and creating environments where people feel empowered to grow and make an impact.
With two decades of experience building high-performing digital teams, we lead with intuition, deep sector knowledge, and a commitment to making the hiring experience exceptional for everyone involved.

Questions? Answers
What kind of roles can you help with?
We work across software engineering, design, product, GTM, operations, commercial and leadership roles - from first hires to strategic build-outs. Permanent or contract.
What does your process look like?
Depending on the engagement, this will vary. For a permanent search we follow a product-led framework that focusses heavily on scoping out the need in terms of soft skills, mindset and potential required for the match to be right. Then we move on to shaping our search strategy, putting it through our tools, executing the search, and following on through to securing talent. We keep everyone in the loop from day one and ensure every decision is grounded in insight, not guesswork.
We want to hire direct. Do you have services to support us with this?
Absolutely. Whilst we truly believe the best candidates are passive (they are not actively applying); we can support you in managing your talent pipeline as part of our TA service. We can help with the planning of direct hiring, or simply the screening and negotiating - whatever helps you get on with your mission.
