The search
How we hire for you
01
You tell us the role
What they will do in the first 90 days, who they report to, and what good looks like. We keep it short.
02
We screen for the work
Sales people sell your product on a live call. For other roles we use work samples or a screen that matches the job. We do not run a sales test on engineers.
03
You meet a short list
A few people, with notes on why they fit. Your calendar stays for people who already passed that filter.
How you pay
You pay when they start. If they leave for performance or fit within 90 days, we run the search again at no extra placement fee.

Sales roles in more detail
If you are hiring sales, these pages go deeper. The rest of the roles above work the same way: book a call and we start.
Founding AE
Founding AE recruiter for Seed and Series A. Mock cold calls on your product, pay nothing until start, 90-day replacement guarantee.
SDR / BDR
Hire an SDR or BDR for early-stage startups. Contingency search, outbound craft screened before interviews, pay on start, 90-day replacement guarantee.
Head of Sales
Contingency search for first sales leaders at VC-backed startups. Hire a coach for a small team, not a VP who needs an org that does not exist yet.
