FOR CLIENTS
Engineering hires without the headache
We've placed engineers into startups at every stage. We know what good looks like where every hire counts.
From intake to hire we manage everything, making the process as seamless as possible so you can focus on what matters.
01
Intake
A live working session with the hiring manager. We leave with a written brief, calibration examples and a clear understanding of what great looks like for you.
02
Sourcing
Hands-on, deep sourcing that goes beyond job boards and social networks.
03
Screening
A technical conversation with every candidate before you see them. We only submit people who meet the bar on both technical and team fit.
04
End-to-end support
Scheduling, debrief, references, offer negotiation, resignation, start-date support.

FOR CANDIDATES
We send you to places
we'd work ourselves
01
Confidentiality
Every conversation we have is completely confidential. Whether you're actively looking or just curious about what's out there, nothing goes further without your say-so.
02
Transparency
Every role you're presented with will have clear compensation details - base salary, equity, total comp. You'll know exactly what you're walking into before you speak to anyone.
Every role we share comes with full context - the opportunity, the team, the mission and full comp details so that you can make an informed decision.
We're selective about the companies we work with. Every startup we represent has been vetted against our standard for what makes a great place to work.
03
Calibrated matches
Everyone's next move looks different. We take the time to understand yours - what you want more of, what you want less of, and what the right opportunity actually looks like for you.
04
Partnership
Whether you're ready to move now or just keeping an eye on the market, we'll advise on how to navigate a continually evolving job market.
