How it works

Exactly what we do, from first call to day 90

We do the searching, testing, scheduling and reference calls. You meet only people who’ve already done this job, and pay nothing until one signs.

Founding 10 bonusOnly for our first 10 clients, or until Jan 1, 2027. Covered by the 90-day money-back guarantee
  1. Step 1: Day 0

    See if we can fill your seat

    Tell us the role and where you are. You get a straight answer, even if it’s “not yet.”

    Your part: 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2: Same week

    We learn exactly who you need

    A deeper call on the job, the pay, and what great looks like by day 90. Then a short agreement. Nothing to pay.

    Your part: one 30–45 minute call.

  3. Step 3: Within 24 hours

    What great looks like, on one page

    Your scorecard: must-haves, deal-breakers, pay range and 90-day goals. Every candidate is tested against it. Approve it, and your 7-day clock starts Monday.

    Your part: read one page, reply “approved.”

  4. Step 4: Days 1–7

    We find them, then test them live

    We go after people who’ve built this job at a startup like yours. Each must pass a live sales role-play or a real marketing task. Most don’t.

    Your part: nothing.

  5. Step 5: Day 7

    Meet 3 vetted A-players, not a resume pile

    At least 3 who passed, on your calendar, each with a written note on why they fit and what to probe. If we’re late, $1,000 comes off our fee.

    Your part: read 3 short notes.

  6. Step 6: Interviews

    You interview. We handle everything else.

    We book every interview, chase feedback, and send you a written update every Friday. Someone doesn’t show up? A new profile within 48 hours.

    Your part: the interviews, and feedback within 48 hours.

  7. Step 7: Before the offer

    We check references and help you close

    Two reference calls confirm their track record. Then we help you shape the offer, and get ready if their current boss tries to keep them.

    Your part: pick your hire.

  8. Step 8: Offer signed

    Your hire signs. Only now do you pay.

    Our whole fee is one month of their base salary, due in 15 days. If they back out before day one, you get all your money back.

    Founding 10: a direct line to our founder, all the way to day 90

  9. Founding 10 bonus
    Step 9: Before day one

    Their onboarding kit, done for you

    From one recorded call with you, we build their starter playbook: who your buyers are, the pitch, what’s worked so far, and a week‑one plan.

    Your part: one 60-minute call.

  10. Step 10: Start date

    Your hire starts. Your 90 days begin.

    Your money-back guarantee runs for 90 days from today.

    Founding 10: we run their onboarding and set clear goals for days 30, 60 and 90 with you both

  11. Founding 10 bonus
    Step 11: Days 7, 30 and 60

    Check-ins that catch problems early

    We sit down with you and your hire, check progress against the goals you agreed, and flag problems while they’re still easy to fix.

    Your part: about 30 minutes each.

  12. 90-day money-back guarantee
    Step 12: Day 90

    Not working out? All your money back.

    If they quit or you let them go for performance in these 90 days, your full fee comes back within 5 business days. We restart the search that same week.

    Founding 10: a final check-in and a plan for the next 90 days

Sign by Thursday, and your 7-day search starts Monday.

Example note (not a real candidate)

Founding salesperson · Seed-stage developer tools

You get a note like this with every candidate.

The offer

Here's exactly what you get, and why it costs so little.

We find, test and screen every candidate, and you only meet the ones who pass: at least 3 vetted A-players within 7 days, or we take $1,000 off our fee. Our fee is one month of your new hire's base salary, paid only after they sign. On a $120,000 salary, that's $10,000.

Why make it this good? We're a new firm, and we want to earn your trust. So, we made it as cheap and as safe for you as we could. You pay us nothing unless you hire one of the candidates that we bring you, and we charge you nothing upfront. Our fee is much lower than what most recruiters charge. If the hire that we bring you doesn't work out within 90 days, you get a full refund. After you hire one of the candidates that we bring you, we save you the hours most founders lose by helping onboard your new hire and staying close to them during their first 90 days at your company to make sure they are performing and on track for success. We'd rather prove ourselves with results than ask you to take a chance on us. That's only possible for our first 10 clients. After that, our fee goes up and these bonuses go away.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Anything else? Ask us on the call.

What if we don't hire anyone?

You pay nothing. No fee, no deposit, no bill.

Is the fee on base salary or total pay?

Base salary only. Commission, bonuses and equity don't count. On a $120k base, our fee is $10,000.

Do we have to pay a retainer or work only with you?

No. There's no retainer (no deposit to start) and no exclusivity: keep posting the role and using other recruiters or your network. We'll just ask who you're already talking to, so we don't send the same people.

What if they quit or don't work out?

If they quit, are let go for performance, or back out before day one, within 90 days of starting, you get all your money back within 5 business days and we restart the search that week. You pay again only when a replacement signs, at the same rate. Not covered: layoffs, the role being cut, or a cut to the agreed pay.

What if you miss the 7 days?

$1,000 comes off our fee. The 7 days start once your intake call is done, you've approved the scorecard, and we've agreed the salary range.

Where do you work?

With tech startups in the US and Canada. The role can be in-office, hybrid or remote.
