Intro, screen, then a real startup conversation

You talk to us once. We match you to seats we are actually filling, from sales to every other practice on this page.

01

Intro

Book a call and tell us what you want to do next. Looking or hiring, same calendar.

Screen

Sales roles get a live mock call. Engineering, product, design, ops, and exec roles get a screen that matches that work.

03

Intro to startups

We put you in front of teams that are hiring, with notes on fit so you are not guessing.

04

Offer

If it is a match, you get an offer path. If you are hiring, you still pay $0 until the person starts.

Roles we place, how to get in, and the same booking link if you are hiring.

Sales (founding AE, early AE, SDR/BDR, GTM), engineering, startup executive search, marketing, product and design, and operations. We specialize in sales and still run targeted searches in the rest.

Book a call or check the Open Roles page. We will screen you for the practice that matches your work, then intro you to teams that are hiring.

Sales candidates still complete a structured pre-screen and a live mock cold call. For other seats we use role-specific screens: work samples, technical depth, operating history, and stage fit. We do not force a sales rubric onto engineers, designers, or operators.

Yes. The same calendar is for candidates and hiring teams. Tell us which side you are on and we will run the conversation from there.
