Introducing El Jefe: AI Sourcing at Horizon
The hardest part of hiring specialist talent often isn’t the interview. It’s the search — identifying strong candidates who aren’t actively applying and aren’t easy to find.
For six years, that’s been Horizon’s craft. Now we’ve built something to make it sharper.
Meet El Jefe
El Jefe is our proprietary AI sourcing and matching engine — the technology that supports the searches we run. It helps us map talent markets, surface candidates that conventional sourcing can overlook, and match them to a brief with greater depth and speed.
It doesn’t replace our consultants. It makes them faster and more thorough — so the shortlist you see is the product of a more comprehensive search.
Why it matters for your hiring
In the sectors we specialise in — Technology & Transformation (from data and AI to cyber security), Broadband Infrastructure, Tower & Wireless Infrastructure, Data Centre Infrastructure and Renewable Energy Infrastructure — many of the strongest candidates aren’t on the market. Engaging them early makes the difference.
El Jefe helps us do that more effectively: broader coverage, closer matches, and a faster path from brief to shortlist.
See it for yourself
We’ve kept the details of how El Jefe works close to our chest — because the real proof is in seeing it run against your own roles.
If you’re building a team and want an edge in reaching the right talent, book a short demo and we’ll show you what it can do for your hiring.
