Frequently asked questions

What roles do you fill?

Recruitment is a blend of psychology, process, and art. We've built our Recruitment Playbook so that it works for any search project. The roles we fill the most are in the following categories: Engineering, AI, Product, Marketing, Finance, Operation, Sales, and Leadership.

What problems do you solve for startup founders?

We understand once founders have funding the clock starts ticking. They only have so much time to "tell their story", hire teams, and build products before cash runs out. We help relieve the struggle of finding and hiring qualified people, and do if faster with the use of A.I.

What services do you provide?

We provide recruitment services: Retained Search for Leadership roles, Contingent Search, Contract Staffing for short projects

Where are you located?

We're located in 3 Continents. North America, LATAM, & Asia.

If we hire internationally do you handle the paperwork?

Yes, we have a talented cohort of team member partners who handle all the agreements and compliance if you decide to hire a contractor or full time employee internationally.
