Startup Founders

Building your founding team is your most consequential early decision. We help you define the roles, the competencies, and the offer structure that attracts talent who believe in what you're building.

Technical Startups

Engineering, product, and AI roles demand precision sourcing. We access tens of thousands of verified technical professionals and match on depth, not just keywords.

🏗️

Infrastructure & Enterprise

Chip fabs, hyperscale data centers, and large-scale build-outs across the USA. We specialize in sourcing the specialized talent these projects demand — at volume and velocity.

Strategy-first.
Every engagement.

We don't just fill seats. We architect the hiring function alongside you — from concept to close.

Hiring Strategy & Concept Development

Before any search begins, we build the blueprint. We analyze your stage, roadmap, and organizational needs to sequence hiring in a way that compounds value — not chaos.

  • Organizational design and role sequencing
  • Headcount planning aligned to business milestones
  • Build vs. buy vs. contract workforce analysis
  • Founder coaching on talent acquisition fundamentals

Competency Design & Rubric Development

Generic job descriptions attract generic candidates. We build organizationally specific competency frameworks for both technical and non-technical roles that align hiring to your actual culture and performance bar.

  • Role-specific competency mapping
  • Scoring rubrics for consistent evaluation
  • Technical and culture-add frameworks
  • Leveling guides for early-stage orgs

Sourcing & Executive Search

Powered by AI-enabled access to tens of thousands of professionals, we run targeted searches that surface candidates who aren't on the open market — across startups, chip manufacturing, and data center builds nationwide.

  • AI-assisted talent identification at scale
  • Passive candidate outreach and engagement
  • Deep specialty coverage: semiconductors, infrastructure, AI/ML
  • Nationwide reach for large-scale project staffing

Interview Plan Development

Ad hoc interview loops signal disorganization to top candidates. We design structured, role-calibrated interview plans that create a premium candidate experience while giving you defensible signal.

  • Multi-stage interview architecture
  • Interviewer role assignments and prep guides
  • Structured question banks tied to competencies
  • Debrief facilitation frameworks

Offer Strategy & Close

The offer stage is where great processes collapse. We advise on compensation benchmarking, equity framing, and negotiation strategy — so you close the candidates you've worked to find.

  • Market compensation benchmarking
  • Equity and total-comp positioning
  • Offer letter narrative and framing
  • Counter-offer and negotiation coaching

Tooling & Platform Recommendations

The right ATS, sourcing stack, and assessment tools can halve your time-to-hire. We evaluate and recommend platforms matched to your stage, team size, and technical complexity.

  • ATS selection and implementation guidance
  • Sourcing tool stack recommendations
  • Assessment platform evaluation
  • AI hiring tool integration strategy

Structured for
your reality.

Whether you need ongoing partnership or a focused sprint, we offer flexible arrangements designed around your timeline and budget.

Project-Based

Contract Search

Defined scope, defined timeline. Perfect for urgent hires, foundational team builds, or large infrastructure staffing projects with a clear start and end.

  • Fixed or capped fee structures
  • Exclusive or non-exclusive
  • Ideal for first 3–4 critical hires
  • Scales to multi-hundred headcount builds
  • Chip fab and data center project specialists
