What Makes Us Different
Insider Expertise
We’ve spent more than a decade recruiting from inside early-stage startups that later IPO’d, including companies like Rapid7 and BigCommerce.
Across multiple early-stage builds, we’ve developed insider pattern recognition from repeated cycles of building and scaling teams—not as observers, but as operators inside the work.
We use that perspective to help founders make sharper early hiring decisions and build teams ready to scale.
Smart Hiring
Anyone can hire fast—we hire smart. We prioritize quality of hire and long-term scalability, building teams that don’t just work today, but still hold at 50, 100, and 200+ team members.
With 15+ years in startup recruiting, we’ve seen how early-stage hiring decisions get made and how top candidates evaluate opportunities. That lived experience gives us clear insight into what consistently drives strong hires—and what causes great candidates to say yes.
Vetting Expertise
We’ve developed a sharp sense for stage-readiness. We know how to identify the skills, behaviors, and judgment required to succeed specifically in the early stages.
Brand Protection
We’re often a candidate’s first interaction with your company, and every touchpoint throughout the interview process shapes their perception of who you are. We treat recruiting as brand representation, not just role fulfillment.
What Founders Say
We Learn Your Business
"I was immediately impressed by Sarah's drive to understand what we were looking for in new hires and to better understand things like our tech stack, current employee backgrounds, and her drive to continually optimize the screening process."
— Jake Butler, Founder at Corvo Labs
Elevated Candidate Experience
"Sarah went above and beyond what I have ever seen from recruiters. She acted like a true career coach—responsive without ever being ‘pushy’—and was a true extension of the company’s brand. I urge any company to partner with her if they want a truly superior candidate experience."
