Our Story
Heilsa was founded in 2020 by Vas Georgiou — an HR professional who saw first-hand what was wrong with the industry, and decided to do something about it.
The Founder
Vas began his career in HR and Recruitment Advisory, working across multiple sectors before identifying a consistent pattern: most recruitment agencies were optimising for volume, not quality.
In 2020, he founded Heilsa Recruitment with a clear mission — to offer companies a service built around their actual needs, not just their open roles. That means taking time to understand team culture, candidate character, and long-term fit before a single CV is sent.
Today, Heilsa operates across 30+ countries, specialising in Cybersecurity & Tech, Law, Financial Services and Healthcare.
"Our clients describe us as the recruitment partner they've always been looking for."
"Vas takes the time to truly understand your company, your team, and your hiring needs. His approach is thoughtful, strategic, and focused on quality over quantity."

Our Values
Every decision we make is guided by these principles — for clients and candidates alike.
Our founder's HR background means we understand what genuinely good hiring looks like — beyond the CV. We assess character, culture fit and long-term potential.
We don't send a pile of CVs and hope one sticks. Every candidate is carefully evaluated against your role before you ever see them.
No inflated fees. No surprises. Fair, clear pricing that rewards the long-term relationship — not the quick win.
We don't disappear after a placement. We stay close and measure our success by the retention and performance of the people we place.
Our Process
We start by understanding not just the role, but your team dynamics, company culture and what success looks like for this hire 12 months in.
Using our specialist networks across 30+ countries, we identify and approach the right talent — including those not actively looking.
Every candidate is interviewed and assessed for culture fit before we present them. No padding, no guesswork — only people we'd genuinely recommend.
You get regular updates, honest market feedback and clear timelines throughout. You deserve to know exactly what's happening at every stage.
