Whether it's your first founding engineer or your tenth quarter of scale-hiring, we deliver vetted Bay Area tech talent — fast, transparently, and with a 90-day guarantee.
We run the full search so your team can stay focused on building — surfacing only candidates worth your time.
One dedicated partner runs the whole process, start to finish.
A kickoff call to define the role, must-haves, and what success looks like.

You meet a curated shortlist with full context and references.
We manage the offer, negotiation, and a 90-day onboarding check-in.
It depends on the engagement. Retained executive search is a fixed fee billed in milestones; contingency placements are a percentage of first-year base, due only on hire; and embedded/RPO is a flat monthly rate. We'll recommend the most cost-effective model for your role on our first call.
For most engineering and product roles, you'll see a first calibrated shortlist within 5–7 business days of kickoff. Our average time from kickoff to signed offer is 21 days.
Every placement comes with a 90-day guarantee. If a hire leaves or isn't the right fit within the first 90 days, we re-run the search at no additional fee.
Our network is deepest in the SF Bay Area, and that's where we add the most value. We also support remote-first teams hiring Bay Area talent and companies opening a Bay Area presence.
Yes. A large share of our work is confidential leadership search — replacing an executive, building a new function, or hiring ahead of an announcement. Discretion is built into our process.
