CLIENTS
We’re a recruiting firm focused on high-growth startups. Our 20+ years of combined experience lets us read the DNA of your company, and straight-up “23andMe” the solution to scale your vision. With the hustle of a venture capitalist, the thriftiness of a private equity firm, and the gut intuition of a village matchmaker, we pull out the unspoken qualities of your hiring needs, and meet them with the perfect candidate for your company’s evolutionary stage.
CONSULTING
The Big Picture
The truth is that, despite a costly education, years of therapy and that one Tarot card reading in Bucharest, you don’t always know what you want.
​
Our Consulting offering gives you a chance to zoom out, see the big picture, and solve recruiting and hiring problems “upstream” — before they happen.
​
We develop unique, customized solutions to root out inefficiencies in your organization, and correct missteps in your candidate experience that could be costing you your best hires, countless hours of misplaced time, and a healthy slice of your bank account. Then, with an Earth-seen-from-space perspective, we design a streamlined hiring roadmap to help you hit your milestones as you scale.
​
​We get it: your company is your baby, and you can’t be blamed for your blindness to its faults. It’s just that it may be lacking in social skills and developing a gambling problem.
CONTINGENCY
The One
It’s the classic rom-com premise: you know in your gut “The One” is out there, you just don’t know where. You can almost see their face in your mind’s eye.
​
Only, instead of running through the airport, this story ends with the two of you finessing a successful exit with a buzzy IPO.
​
Who are we in this story? Destiny. The force that brings exactly the right people together, against all odds. Because you don’t have time to search the world for the right candidate, much less go through the draining, time-consuming process of recruiting, interviewing, hiring, and onboarding.
​
But us, we know people. We have over 20+ years of experience helping digital and technology start-ups scale. Our instincts are precise: we sift through dozens of candidates before sending any — so when we do, they’re a highly-curated and qualified group of high quality candidates customized to your specific need.
​
And the best part: you don’t pay us a dime until we find you — and you hire — the perfect candidate.
RETAINED
TLC for Your WTFÂ
Isn’t it nice to feel the summer breeze blowing across your neck, rather than your board breathing down it?
​
When the stakes are high, when you’re looking to make a PR splash, when you’ve exhausted your other options and, like a true aristocrat, squandered all your resources, we offer a “white glove” retainer approach.
​
We commit to turning over every viable candidate on the market, working directly with your hiring team, and keep going until the role is filled to everyone’s satisfaction. We’re rolling up our sleeves, staying late, and ordering delivery. This is a bonding experience. We’re all in this together.
CONSULTATION SESSION
This is where we get to know you. Where you’re coming from, what your needs are, what’s your timeline, what’s your strategy. We take what you tell us, plant it in our unconscious, and get our intuition humming.
It's not what you do but how you do it. We've developed and honed a streamlined process to learn your business and culture, share what we know about the market and make sure you're getting only the very best candidates.
MARKET INTELLIGENCE
We start asking questions. With our 20+ years of experience, we hone in on the intricacies of what you’re actually looking for, and define the role. We begin discussing candidates you’ve thought of, and ones you haven’t thought of. What you think you need, you don’t always need.
CANDIDATE EXPERIENCE
There is the "candidates are people, too,” part. We all started as one, once. We’re an extension of your brand, and they’re meeting you when they meet us. We take care to communicate with them, schedule everything, and help create a mutually beneficial experience that’s authentic to your brand.
BEGINNING THE SEARCH
We start talking to candidates. Like, so many candidates. And qualify them based on the hard skills and softer, intangible qualities we sense you’re looking for. You probably won’t even see most of them. We vet the best ones, and that’s who you see.
HIRING
Anyone can get good candidates in front of a hiring process. Not everyone can close. We team up with you to actually get the best person hired, from help with the offer, to negotiations on both sides, to closing out the process.
ONBOARDING, ANALYTICS, & ITERATION
We want this to work out. Once the hire is closed, we show you what worked about the process, and where the pain points were. We check in, make sure everyone’s happy, and provide you with who’s on deck for your next hire. It’s a little bonus consulting to sweeten the union. And your hire? Guaranteed or your money back
