How We Find Top Technical Talent
We go beyond resume keywords to assess real technical ability, cultural fit, and growth potential
Technical Screening
Every candidate is technically assessed tailored to your stack. We evaluate problem-solving, code quality, system design, and communication.
- •Live coding sessions with senior engineers + HM
- •System design discussions for senior roles
- •GitHub/portfolio review for real-world work
Cultural Fit Assessment
Technical skills are table stakes. We assess collaboration style, communication, values alignment, and whether they'll thrive in your startup's fast-paced environment.
- •Behavioral interviews focused on past experiences
- •Team collaboration scenarios and case studies
- •Reference checks with former managers and peers
Startup Experience Filter
Not every engineer thrives in a startup. We prioritize candidates with startup DNA: comfort with ambiguity, ownership mentality, and ability to wear multiple hats.
- •Previous startup experience (Series A-C preferred)
- •Track record of shipping products from 0→1
- •Comfort with rapid iteration and changing priorities
Global Talent Network
We tap into an extensive network across the US and Latin America to source high-caliber remote and hybrid engineers. Our reach goes beyond local markets to find exceptional talent wherever they are.
- •Deep network in SF, Denver, NYC, and LATAM
- •Access to passive candidates not actively job searching
- •Vetted remote engineers ready for async-first teams
Why Startups Trust Us with Technical Hiring
We Speak Your Language
Our team includes former engineers and technical recruiters who understand the difference between React and React Native, monoliths and microservices, SQL and NoSQL. We don't just match keywords—we understand technical depth.
Speed Without Compromise
We know startups move fast. Our typical time-to-hire is 3-4 weeks for senior engineers, not 3-4 months. We pre-vet candidates, streamline interviews, and keep momentum high—without sacrificing quality.
Access to Passive Candidates
The best engineers aren't actively job hunting. They're happily employed at FAANG companies, successful startups, or building side projects. We tap into our network to reach these passive candidates and present your opportunity.
Compensation Benchmarking
We provide real-time salary data for your market (SF, Denver, NYC) and help you structure competitive offers. We'll tell you if your comp is below market and help you win candidates without overpaying.
