What sets us apart
01

Embedded,
not transactional

We take time to understand your company the way an internal partner would — org structure, team dynamics, where this role fits now and where it needs to go. Not just a job description.

02

Speed backed
by systems

Eight years of network combined with modern sourcing infrastructure. We move faster than a large agency and with more accountability than a one-person shop running on spreadsheets.

03

Closing backed by
knowledge, not pressure

We prepare candidates with real information about your company — the mission, the team, the opportunity. When someone accepts, it's because they want the job. That's how you avoid fall-off and build a reputation candidates talk about.

Three ways to engage

We structure every engagement around what your search actually requires. Most clients start with retained or embedded — but we're flexible for the right fit.

Recommended

Retained

Full-service, exclusive search

Our flagship model. We work exclusively on your search from day one — dedicated sourcing, deep candidate vetting, and full accountability to the outcome. Best for senior, specialized, or high-stakes roles where quality and speed both matter.

  • Exclusive engagement, fully dedicated
  • Upfront retainer with success fee
  • Market mapping included
  • Weekly pipeline updates
Recommended

Embedded

Ongoing fractional recruiting partner

We plug into your team as a fractional recruiting partner — handling sourcing, screening, and pipeline management across multiple roles over time. Ideal for companies in a sustained hiring phase who need more than a one-off search.

  • Ongoing monthly engagement
  • Covers multiple roles simultaneously
  • Acts as an extension of your team
  • Flexible scope as needs evolve
Available

Contingent

Success-fee only, select roles

No upfront commitment — you pay only when we place. Available for select roles and clients where the fit is right. We're selective about contingent work to ensure every search gets the attention it deserves.

  • No upfront fee
  • Success fee on placement
  • Available for select engagements
  • Best for clearly defined, mid-level roles

How a search actually runs

Whether retained or embedded, every search follows the same disciplined process. You'll always know where things stand and why.

Most searches close within 4–6 weeks. We'll tell you if something is taking longer, and why.

i.

Discovery

Deep dive into the role, the team, and the company stage. Org chart review, stakeholder alignment, comp benchmarking against the current market.

ii.

Market map

Before the first candidate call, we show you what the talent pool actually looks like — who's out there, what they're earning, and what it'll take to move them.

iii.

Sourcing

Active outreach to passive candidates. Every submission is someone we'd genuinely recommend — not a resume dump designed to look like momentum.

iv.

Pipeline

Weekly updates. Honest feedback loops. We manage the process so you can stay focused on interviewing the right people.

v.

Offer & close

We prepare candidates to make a clear-eyed decision — not to accept anything. The goal is someone who starts genuinely excited.

Fewer searches.
Done better.

I've spent 8+ years working in agency recruiting, helping consumer tech companies find the people who actually build the thing — PMs, engineers, and the marketers who make it grow.

I started this practice because I wanted to do fewer searches and do them better. The retained model lets me focus, go deep, and actually be accountable to the outcome — not just the placement.

I work best with founders and hiring managers who value transparency and want a real partner, not a black box.
