our approach

High-touch, tailored to your stage

We take a different approach depending on where you are. Every engagement starts with understanding your company, your team, and what great looks like for the roles you need to fill.

Embedded Recruiting

For early-stage teams building from the ground up, we embed directly as your talent function. That means owning the full cycle: sourcing, screening, coordinating interviews, and closing candidates. We sit in your Slack, use your tools, and operate with the same urgency as your team. We've scaled teams from Seed through Series C this way, running the hiring process like full-time staff rather than checking in from the outside.

Executive Search

For companies making senior or executive hires, we run focused retained searches. These are roles where the wrong hire costs you six months, not six weeks. VP of Engineering, Head of Product, founding team members. We commit dedicated resources from day one and stay close to both sides through offer and close.

Talent Strategy + Advising

We advise on the stuff that comes before and after the search. Org design, comp benchmarking, leveling frameworks, and hiring timelines. We've helped founders plan headcount from pre-seed through Series B, figure out when to hire a Head of People vs. outsource, and build the internal processes that make scaling possible.

Tooling + Infrastructure

We help first-time founders set up Ashby, build interview scorecards, and wire in tools like Metaview and Granola for structured candidate capture. No over-engineered enterprise setups. Just the infrastructure that works at your stage.
