HOW WE WORK

A simple process built around speed, selectivity, and founder alignment.

01 / Learn the business

We align on what success looks like, why the hire is critical now, technical requirements, compensation, interviewing, and non-negotiables.

02 / Map & engage the market

We research talent pools and personally engage relevant candidates, including people who are not actively applying.

03 / Present the right people

For many calibrated searches, we aim to introduce initial relevant candidates within three days not a promise to complete a hire in three days.

04 / Help you hire

We coordinate feedback, manage candidate experience, support references where appropriate, and help navigate the close.
