We become your recruiting department, from your first key hires through Series B, until you're ready to build a talent team of your own. Recruiter, sourcing, recruiting operations, and your ATS under one monthly fee, a flat fee instead of a 20% agency bill and never a percentage of salary.
You are competing with funded companies for the same engineers, you have no in-house recruiter, and every open seat stalls the build. Traditional agencies charge 20 to 25 percent per hire, tens of thousands on a single senior engineer, then disappear after the placement. What you need is a real recruiting function that moves at your speed and respects your runway, without hiring one full-time yet.
A senior recruiter and a Client Delivery Lead run your roles end to end. No handoffs to a rotating cast of coordinators who do not know your product or your bar.
The embedded model is a flat monthly fee plus a flat $1,000 per hire, never a percentage of salary. Hiring a $200k staff engineer costs the same $1,000 as hiring a coordinator.
We run every search in our own ATS and sourcing stack, so there is nothing for you to buy or set up. A dedicated recruiter starts sourcing your roles right away.
Everything we submit is yours. At the end of an engagement, on request, we hand over the resumes and submission history for every candidate, so nothing you paid for walks out the door.
Start with a single role, embed a dedicated recruiter, or flex the team with your runway. You can move between them as you grow.
Technical, product, and go-to-market roles for AI and tech teams, plus the first leadership hires that set the bar for everyone after them.
Our embedded model is a flat monthly fee plus a flat $1,000 per hire, never a percentage of salary. A traditional agency billing 20 to 25 percent charges roughly $36,000 on a single $180,000 engineer. Across several hires the flat-fee model costs a fraction of that, and you are never penalized for hiring senior people.
Yes. We focus on Seed to Series B teams hiring their first 10 to 50 people, the stage where every open seat stalls the roadmap but it is still early to bring recruiting fully in-house.
No clearance required. This is our commercial practice for AI and technology startups. It is separate from our cleared and government-contracting work, though it draws on the same senior recruiters and the same flat-fee model.
On an embedded engagement, first qualified candidates typically arrive within about three business days of kickoff, because a dedicated senior recruiter is already sourcing your roles rather than spinning up from scratch.
Yes. Add recruiting capacity when hiring heats up after a raise, and scale it back when it cools. The embedded model is month to month, so you never pay for capacity you are not using.
We run every search in our own applicant tracking system and sourcing stack, so you never buy tools, share logins, or manage our workflow. That keeps setup turnkey and lets us start right away. Your hires and their information stay yours: at the end of an engagement, on request, we hand over the resumes and submission history for every candidate we submitted, so nothing you paid for is locked in a system you cannot reach.
Tell us the roles and your runway, and we will recommend the right model and send a flat quote, usually within one business day.
