Our process
How we deliver
Software we own, interviewers we would hire ourselves, and a process candidates actually respect.
Most recruiters rent someone else's ATS and bolt on labor. We built the platform and run the search on it — so tooling, interview quality, and candidate experience move together.
AI tooling we built in-house
Screening, scheduling, and vetting agents run on this platform — software we own and ship on. We improve the workflow as fast as we see fit, instead of depending on a generic ATS used by hundreds of recruiters, where the product direction follows the vendor, not your search.
Interviewers from top US schools and companies
Candidates are evaluated by people who've worked at the bar you're hiring to.
Concise feedback for every candidate
Everyone who goes through our process hears back — a better experience for them and a stronger pipeline for you.

How the fee works
What drives your fee: seniority, role scarcity, remote vs. on-site, and US vs. nearshore. For design and product roles, the fee depends on the specifics of the position — we quote based on what you're looking for.
Successful hire — you hire a candidate from our shortlist; the full placement fee shown applies.
Close the search early — you pay 50% of the quoted placement fee.
Hire your own candidate — you hire someone you sourced, not from our pipeline. A 30% engagement fee on the quoted placement fee applies; the retainer paid to start the search is retained.
