Executive search and RPO firm scaling international recruitment with AI-assisted talent mapping
Fast Forward Solutions is a boutique recruitment firm built around executive search, headhunting, and RPO services across tech, finance, and engineering verticals. The stack reveals a sales and marketing infrastructure typical of early-stage B2B services (HubSpot, Salesforce, Gong, LinkedIn) — but the hiring velocity and active project list signal aggressive go-to-market scaling. Marketing is the dominant hiring focus (4 roles), with a Growth Marketing Director and new enterprise B2B strategy for Europe, indicating a shift from service-delivery-led toward repeatable, data-driven customer acquisition.
Notable leadership hires: Growth Marketing Director
Fast Forward Solutions operates as a recruitment partner for mid-market and enterprise companies, with specialization in IT, finance, engineering, marketing, and sales hiring. The firm offers six service modes: executive search (C-level), direct headhunting, AI-assisted talent mapping, RPO, fractional recruitment, and flexible hybrid models. Based in Gdańsk, Poland, with hiring in Belgium as well, FFS operates at 11–50 headcount and was founded in 2017. Current pain points center on lead generation, sales funnel optimization, and enterprise deal closure — reflecting the classic growth constraint of a services firm transitioning from founder-led sales to repeatable pipelines.
HubSpot and Salesforce for CRM, Gong for sales intelligence, Jira and Asana for project management, Google Analytics 4 and Ahrefs for marketing, plus ChatGPT and LinkedIn for talent research.
