Why it's harder now

More applicants. Fewer recruiters. The right people aren't applying.

AI made applying free, so every job post fills with applications while recruiting teams shrink. The engineers and sellers you want are busy doing great work. Someone has to go and find them.

Where we hunt

The hard ones. That's where we work.

Software engineering

Backend, platform, distributed systems, full-stack and mobile, up to staff level.

AI & machine learning

Applied ML, LLM and inference engineers, ML infrastructure and research-minded builders.

Infrastructure & DevOps

Cloud, Kubernetes, SRE, GPU and compute infrastructure.

Security & data

Application and cloud security, compliance engineering, data engineering and analytics.

Product & leadership

Product managers, engineering leads, heads of engineering and founding team members.

Sales & GTM

Founding and first account executives, sales engineers and go-to-market leads.

How we work

From your brief to people you'd actually interview.

1

Calibrate

A short call on the role, the real must-haves and the deal-breakers. We write it up so you can correct it before anyone is contacted.

2

Search

Our search engine maps the market far beyond job boards. A senior recruiter reads every profile and writes to people one by one.

3

Meet

You get scored profiles with a short "why they fit", and only meet people who have spoken with us and want to talk. A clear update every week.

What you receive

A shortlist with the reasoning attached.

Every person comes with a score against your brief, the evidence behind it and anything we still need to confirm.

  • Real and interestedWe introduce people who have spoken with us and said yes to your role.
  • No spam in your namePersonal outreach, one person at a time. No bulk blasts to the engineers you want.
  • People decideTechnology helps us look wider. A recruiter makes every call, and no one is ruled out by a score alone.

FAQ

Straight answers.

What does it cost?

It depends on how you'd like to work: a fixed price for a two-week Sourcing Sprint, an hourly retainer plus a fee per hire for embedded work, or a success fee paid only when you hire. Send us the role and we'll quote it clearly, in writing.

Which roles and regions do you cover?

Software engineering, AI and machine learning, infrastructure and DevOps, security, data, product and engineering leadership, and first sales and go-to-market hires. We recruit across the US, Canada, the UK and Europe, Israel and India.

How do you use AI?

Our own search engine maps the market and scores people against your brief, so we can look far wider than a job board. A recruiter reads every profile, talks to every candidate and makes every decision.

How do you know candidates are interested?

We only introduce people who have spoken with us about your role and want to talk. Anything we couldn't confirm is written on their profile, so you know what to check.

Who do you work with?

Anyone hiring for a hard technical or go-to-market role: founders making their first hires, companies scaling fast, in-house talent teams that need more reach, and recruiters who want a sourcing partner behind the scenes. If the role is hard to fill, we're interested.

Why won't you name your clients?

They trust us with hiring plans their competitors would love to see. We'd do the same for you, and we're happy to explain how we work on a call.
