See real candidates in 48 hours. Decide in 5 workdays.

Submit a brief and within two business days you'll get a preliminary shortlist — real people, with our read on fit and an estimated timeline for the full search. No commitments before you've seen the work.

Process

From brief to candidates in 5 workdays.

Most of hiring is waiting. We compress the first week so you see real candidates before deciding whether to commit.

01Day 0

Submit a brief

Takes a few minutes. Tell us the role and what makes it hard to fill — that's enough to get started. No commitment at this point.

02Within 48h

Preliminary candidates

You get a first read: real profiles from initial sourcing, our take on fit confidence, and an estimated timeline for the full search. This is where we show our work before you commit.

03~Day 3

20-min scope call

Quick call to lock the scope, align on commercials, and green-light the full search. After this we go deep.

04Day 5+

Full shortlist & hire

Context-aware evaluation with written reasoning per candidate. We run interviews, offer negotiation, onboarding — and a debrief at the end.

Services

What we solve

01

"We can't find the right people"

Sourcing + AI-evaluated candidate pipelines

Our matching goes beyond tech stacks. We evaluate project context, organizational fit, and career trajectory to surface candidates who actually make sense.

Best for: Scaling engineering teams, niche technical roles, hard-to-fill senior positions.

02

"We need people now"

Contract & interim staffing

Same context-matching quality, faster timeline. Vetted contractors and interim specialists who can plug into your environment immediately.

Best for: Project ramp-ups, parental leave coverage, time-sensitive deliveries.

03

"We need a leader"

Executive search

Leadership roles require the deepest context understanding. We map organizational culture, strategic direction, and team dynamics to find leaders who don't just fill a title.

Best for: VP/Director-level, CTO, Head of Engineering/Data/Product.

TalentOps — advisory layer

Most hiring problems aren't hiring problems.

Before you open a role, we map where the real gap is — capability, structure, or strategy. TalentOps is the advisory layer that makes every search sharper, and works as a standalone engagement when the question is bigger than one hire.

01

Map

Capability gaps, team topology, role clarity.

02

Decide

Build vs. hire vs. restructure, seniority mix, sequencing.

03

Operate

Hiring cadence, interview design, benchmarks.
