Our Story

Our story began with a simple vision: to transform recruiting for high-growth tech companies by creating a marketplace that meets them exactly where they are. We saw the challenges founding and tech teams face when juggling multiple recruiting relationships, so we built a platform that provides a single, streamlined point of contact, backed by a network of expert recruiters and agencies ready to accelerate hiring.

Our marketplace is designed to capture the unique needs of every tech company, whether they’re seeking the flexibility of contingent recruiting or the hands-on support of embedded recruiters. With both models seamlessly integrated, our platform allows companies to choose what best fits their team dynamics and growth goals.

By offering a tailored approach on a powerful online platform, we enable tech companies to stay agile, save time, and make the right hires faster. It’s more than just filling roles—it’s about redefining how tech companies connect with the talent they need to scale.
