FAQs
Unlike traditional recruiters who focus solely on filling positions, we dive deep into your startup's unique story, values, and vision. Our story-centric approach allows us to attract candidates who not only have the right skills but also match with your company culture and long-term goals. This results in higher-quality hires, improved retention rates, and a stronger, more cohesive team.
We specialize in filling key positions for early-stage startups across various industries. This includes business roles (e.g., COO, Head of Growth, Sales Managers, HR Managers, Marketing Managers, Attourneys), technical roles (e.g., CTO, senior developers), and creative roles (e.g., UX/UI leads, Creative Directors). Our process is adaptable to any critical role that requires a deep identification with your startup's mission a match with your values.
Our streamlined process typically takes 10-21 days from start to finish. Your time invest is 2 days for the founder's story accelerator, 2-4 hours for the key talent definition, half an hour feedback at the Talent Attraction Hackathon, and time for interviews with candidates. However, the time to actual hire may vary depending on factors such as the role's complexity and candidate availability.
Our comprehensive assessment goes beyond evaluating just skills and experience. We look at a candidate's values alignment, cultural match, growth potential, and ability to thrive in a startup environment. This includes behavioral interviews, situational judgement tests, and problem-solving sessions that simulate your startup's challenges.
We're committed to your satisfaction. If you're not happy with the initial candidates, we'll refine our search criteria based on your feedback and continue the process until we find the right fit. Our goal is to build a long-term partnership with your startup, so we're invested in getting it right.
Rather than charging a percentage of the hired candidate's salary, we offer fixed-price packages tailored to your startup's needs, budget and growth phase. This typically results in significant cost savings compared to traditional agencies. Plus, our focus on values-match and long-term potential leads to better retention, providing even more value over time.
