Recruitment for companies that need
calibrated hires.

Common questions
Recruitment, answered.
What roles do you recruit for?
Tech roles (engineering, AI/ML, product, design, DevOps, cybersecurity) and operational/leadership roles for premium service brands (head of operations, head of marketing, chief of staff, senior sales). We focus on senior individual contributors and leadership hires, not junior or hourly placements.
How is this different from Robert Half or other staffing firms?
Three differences. Principal-led search instead of a junior recruiter managing dozens of accounts. AI-augmented sourcing where Claude reads the role and scores candidate fit, instead of LinkedIn keyword searches. Curated shortlists with a small number of pre-vetted candidates, instead of a flood of resumes the client has to filter themselves.
How does the engagement work?
Discovery call defines the role and the ideal candidate. AI-augmented sourcing follows, then a curated shortlist for review. Interviews run at the client's pace. Engagement structure (direct-hire, retained search, contract-to-hire) is scoped per role on a case-by-case basis.
How fast can you deliver candidates?
First shortlist typically lands within days of the discovery call. Full hire timeline depends on role complexity and interview pace, but most tech hires close in weeks rather than months.
What does the engagement cost?
Fees are scoped per role based on seniority, vertical, and engagement structure. Discovery calls are free; pricing is shared up-front before any sourcing begins.
