We operate differently than traditional agencies.
No time tracking. No micromanagement. No noise.

We care about outcomes.

We work with experienced, self-directed freelance recruiters who thrive in early-stage environments and know how to close high-impact talent in fast-moving markets.

If you’ve successfully partnered with founders, built pipelines from scratch, and filled critical technical and commercial roles for VC-backed startups — we want to talk.

  • You manage a range of 3 - 9 startup searches in parallel.
  • You own sourcing, outreach, screening, and candidate management.
  • You provide structured weekly updates and drive momentum.
