The people who build the company, not just fill a seat.
From your first engineer to the team that takes you past Series B, we focus on the hires that change a startup's trajectory.
Software & AI engineering
Engineers who ship product end to end and own what they build.
Hardware & robotics
Builders who've taken physical products from first prototype to production.
Product & design
PMs, product designers and design engineers with taste and speed.
Go-to-market
Founding AEs, sales leaders, solutions engineers and DevRel.
Specialist searches
Finance, legal and crypto teams, from protocol engineers to CFOs.
Fewer resumes. More hires.
Most agencies send volume. We send people who want the job and clear your bar.
You only meet people who said yes
Every candidate has seen the role, the company and the compensation before you do, and asked for the call. No cold resumes and no ghosted intros, just conversations worth having.
Calibrated to your bar
Every yes and no you give us sharpens the search. By the second round we're sourcing to your taste, not a job description.
AI reach, human judgment
Our own sourcing tools map the whole market. Experienced recruiters vet every profile before it reaches you.
Built for speed
First candidates within days, about two weeks on average to a signed offer. We handle follow-ups and scheduling.
From kickoff to offer in three steps
Scope the role
A 30-minute call on the role, your bar, compensation and deal-breakers. We turn it into a precise search brief.
Map and reach out
We map the market, reach the right people personally, and screen them for skills, motivation and fit.
Meet and close
Interested candidates land in your shared pipeline with notes. You book the calls, and we help you close.
What roles do you hire for?
Mostly technical and early-team roles at venture-backed startups: software, AI and forward-deployed engineers, mechanical, electrical and robotics engineers, product and design, and go-to-market hires like founding AEs and solutions engineers. We also run specialist searches in finance, legal and crypto.
How fast will we see candidates?
Usually within the first week. The average search goes from kickoff to signed offer in about two weeks, depending on how specialised the role is.
How is this different from getting a stack of resumes?
Everyone we send you has already seen the role, the company and the compensation, and told us they want the conversation. You spend your time on calls, not on chasing people who were never interested.
Where do you recruit?
Across the United States and Europe, for on-site, hybrid and remote teams. We also run relocation searches when the best people live somewhere else.
Can you work alongside our in-house team or ATS?
Yes. We can plug into your ATS and interview process, or run the whole search for you, from the brief to the offer.
What does it cost?
It depends on the role and the scope of the search. We'll walk you through it on the intro call. There's no commitment to book that call.
Tell us who you need. We'll show you who's out there.
A 30-minute call is enough to scope the role. Interested, vetted candidates usually start reaching you within days.
