Transparent Pricing. Quality Talent. No Surprises.

Whether you're building your technical team or filling critical business roles, we price recruiting the way modern companies think about costs: flat, predictable, and fair. Know what you're paying upfront and hire the people who can actually move your business forward.

 

Artificial intelligence and robotics, concept.

Hiring isn't just about filling roles. It's about finding the people who can execute your vision and build what you're imagining.

We built our process for teams that need technical talent fast, without choosing between speed and quality or paying percentage-based fees that don't make sense anymore.

AI handles the sourcing. We handle the vetting. You get engineers who can ship code, scale your product, and solve the problems you're hiring them for.

HOW IT WORKS

A Fast, Transparent Process Built for Modern Hiring

We've designed our process to deliver quality technical talent without the bloated timelines and hidden costs of traditional agencies. From your first call to final hire, here's exactly what happens at each stage.

Discovery & Alignment

Within 24 Hours

We start by understanding what you're actually building and who you need to build it.

  • Strategy call to map your ideal candidate: We dig into the technical stack, team dynamics, and the problems this hire needs to solve—not just a job description.
  • Assess your hiring urgency and timeline: Are you filling a critical gap or planning ahead? We adjust our approach based on your reality.
  • Define success metrics together: What does "great hire" look like for this role? We align on technical skills, culture fit, and must-haves vs nice-to-haves.
  • Clarify compensation and market positioning: We provide salary benchmarking data so your offer is competitive without overpaying.

Targeted Sourcing

Days 1-3

We identify qualified candidates fast using advanced sourcing technology and our recruiting networks.

  • Source across multiple platforms: LinkedIn, GitHub, Stack Overflow, niche job boards, and our existing talent network—we go where engineers actually are.
  • Focus on passive candidates: The best engineers aren't actively job hunting. We reach people who aren't looking but might be interested in the right opportunity.
  • Screen for technical signals early: We filter for relevant tech stacks, project experience, and career trajectory before anyone hits your inbox.
  • Track pipeline metrics: You'll know how many candidates we're reviewing and where they are in the process.

Rigorous Vetting

Days 4-7

Every candidate undergoes thorough screening before reaching you. No filler, no maybes.

  • Technical assessment: We evaluate hands-on experience with your tech stack, problem-solving ability, and whether they can actually ship code at your pace.
  • Communication screening: Can they explain complex technical concepts clearly? Will they collaborate well with your team?
  • Culture and stage fit: Do they thrive in ambiguity? Can they handle the pace of a startup (or the structure of an enterprise)?
  • Reference and background validation: We verify employment history, confirm past performance, and check for red flags.
  • Detailed candidate profiles: Every submission includes our assessment notes, technical evaluation, and why we think they're a fit.

Candidate Delivery

Days 7-10

You receive a curated shortlist of pre-vetted candidates ready to interview.

  • 5-7 qualified profiles delivered: Each with detailed assessments, technical evaluations, and our recommendation on fit.
  • Coordinated introductions: We facilitate initial conversations and provide interview guides tailored to each candidate.
  • Real-time feedback loop: After each interview, we gather your input and adjust the search if needed.
  • Offer support: When you're ready to extend an offer, we help with negotiation strategy and closing the candidate.

Post-Hire Support

90 Days After Hire

Our commitment doesn't end when they accept the offer.

  • 30/60/90-day check-ins: We follow up to ensure the hire is performing well and integrating into your team.
  • Replacement guarantee: If it doesn't work out in the first 90 days (for any reason), we reopen the search at no additional cost.
  • Ongoing support: Questions about compensation adjustments, team expansion, or future hiring? We're here to help.

Roles We Specialize In

Building your product requires engineers who can ship fast and solve complex problems. That's why we focus on technical roles where quality matters most: AI, ML, data, and engineering talent that can build and scale your product. We also support other critical roles as your needs evolve.

AI & ML Roles

Connect with Machine Learning Engineers, AI Engineers, and Data Scientists who can build, deploy, and scale AI systems that drive your product forward.

Engineering Roles

Find Backend Engineers, Frontend Engineers, Full-Stack Developers, and Platform Engineers with the technical depth to execute in fast-paced startup environments.

Data Roles

Hire Data Engineers, Analytics Engineers, and Data Analysts who turn data into actionable insights and build the infrastructure your team needs to scale.

Beyond Tech Roles

While we specialize in AI, data, and engineering talent, we're open to supporting other critical startup roles, from marketing to operations, as your hiring needs evolve.

FAQs

Everything you need to know about hiring tech talent without the traditional agency markup.

Why are you so much cheaper than traditional agencies?

We eliminated the bloated agency model. No massive sales teams, no account manager layers, no corporate markups. You work directly with experienced recruiters who focus on finding great candidates, not maximizing commissions. Our flat-rate structure means predictable costs and aligned incentives. We're motivated to find the right person, not just close a deal.

How can you deliver quality candidates in just 7-10 days?

We've built a streamlined process that combines advanced sourcing technology with rigorous human vetting. Our approach identifies hundreds of potential matches quickly, then we personally screen each one against your technical requirements and culture fit. The candidates you see have already passed our internal evaluation. You're not getting a fire hose of resumes, you're getting 5-7 people who can ship code, solve your problems, and scale with your team.

What if the first batch of candidates isn't right?

For Portfolio Builder: We use your feedback to refine the search criteria and help you clarify what you're looking for. While Portfolio Builder includes one delivery of 5-7 candidates, we'll discuss next steps if none are the right fit.

For Growth Package: We iterate immediately. With unlimited submissions per role (up to 15 candidates), we keep refining based on your feedback until we find someone who fits. Your input after each round helps us zero in on exactly what you need.

What if I hire someone and they don't work out?

Portfolio Builder ($2,500): No replacement guarantee. You're getting quality candidates at an aggressive introductory price in exchange for helping us build case studies.

Growth Package ($5,995): Full 90-day replacement guarantee on all placements. If any hire doesn't work out in the first 90 days (for any reason - performance, culture fit, or mutual decision), we reopen that search at no additional cost.

Enterprise & Custom: Replacement terms negotiated based on your engagement structure.

Do you only recruit for AI and engineering roles?

We specialize in technical hiring: AI Engineers, ML Engineers, Data Scientists, Backend/Frontend/Full-Stack Developers, Data Analysts, and Platform Engineers. That's our core expertise. However, we're open to supporting other critical roles (marketing, operations, finance) as your needs evolve. If you need help outside our technical specialty, we'll be upfront about whether we're the right fit.

How do you vet candidates before sending them to me?

Every candidate undergoes a multi-stage evaluation:

  • Technical assessment: Hands-on experience with your tech stack, problem-solving ability, and whether they can ship at your pace
  • Communication screening: Can they explain complex concepts clearly? Will they collaborate effectively with your team?
  • Culture and stage fit: Do they thrive in ambiguity? Can they handle startup pace or enterprise structure?
  • Reference validation: We verify employment history and past performance

You only see candidates who pass all these checks. No filler, no maybes.

What happens during the discovery call?

We spend 15-30 minutes understanding what you're actually building and who you need to build it. We dig into your technical stack, team dynamics, hiring timeline, and the specific problems this hire needs to solve, not just a generic job description. We also provide salary benchmarking data so your offer is competitive without overpaying. By the end of the call, we'll have a clear candidate profile and timeline for delivery.

Can you help with multiple roles at the same time?

Yes. Growth Package supports up to 3 active searches running in parallel, with 7-10 day delivery per role. Enterprise & Custom can handle unlimited concurrent searches with custom timelines based on your volume and urgency.

How is this different from using LinkedIn Recruiter myself?

You could source candidates on LinkedIn, but then you'd spend weeks screening, interviewing, and vetting before finding someone qualified. We compress that timeline by combining AI-powered sourcing with expert vetting. You get pre-screened, interview-ready candidates in 7-10 days instead of spending your own time sorting through hundreds of profiles. Plus, our flat-rate pricing is far cheaper than hiring an internal recruiter or paying agency fees.

What if I need to pause or cancel?

Portfolio Builder: One-time engagement. No cancellation needed.

Growth Package: One-time package for up to 3 roles. Once purchased, we work until all 3 roles are filled or you decide to stop.

Enterprise & Custom: Terms negotiated based on your engagement structure. We build flexibility into our agreements.
