Recruiting & Talent Placement

Booking conversations

Roles need serious candidates, not inbox spam.

We run intake, sourcing and shortlisting as a monthly retainer, so your team interviews fewer, better people — and spends its time on the conversations that matter.

Outcome

Sourced shortlists and placement support on a monthly retainer.

What you get

  • Role intake and scorecards
  • Sourced pipeline, not spray-and-pray
  • Interview-ready shortlists

01 — The problem

Hiring is drowning in noise.

A job post can pull in hundreds of applications and very little signal. Hiring managers lose weeks to screening, and the strongest candidates drift away while the process catches up.

02 — Intake & scorecards

Define the role before the search.

We start with an intake session and turn it into a scorecard: the outcomes the hire has to deliver, the skills that genuinely matter, and the signals we’ll look for. Everyone judges candidates against the same bar.

  • Role intake session
  • Written scorecard and must-haves
  • An agreed interview loop

03 — Sourcing

Sourced, not spray-and-pray.

We go where strong candidates already are — communities, networks and direct outreach — and approach each person with a message written for them, not a template sent to thousands.

  • Targeted, personal outreach
  • Engineering, product, operations and growth roles
  • Weekly pipeline updates

04 — Shortlists

Interview-ready, not CV piles.

You get a short list of screened candidates with notes against the scorecard: why they fit, where the risks are, and what to probe in interview. We handle the scheduling.

  • Screened against the scorecard
  • Candidate notes, not just CVs
  • Interviews booked for you

05 — Placement

Through to a signed offer.

We stay involved through interviews, references and the offer — keeping candidates warm and the process moving until the seat is filled.

06 — The retainer

Working your roles every week.

A monthly retainer keeps us focused on your roles with clear weekly updates, instead of racing other agencies for a fee. Add, swap or pause roles month to month.

  • Weekly progress updates
  • Roles added or paused monthly
  • One team that learns your culture

Who it’s for

Teams that need the right people, not more applications.

  • Startups making their first key hires
  • Scale-ups hiring engineers and operators
  • Teams looking for Web3 and AI talent
  • Hiring managers without time to screen
