HELP ME HIRE HELP ME WORK

The job market has evolved. Has your recruiter?

  • Sourcing now needs a skilled eye.

    Imaginary candidates. Résumés tailored by AI. Thousands of applications on every posting. Knowing the trade itself is now mandatory, and generalist recruiters just don't stand a chance.

    Experience cuts through the chaos

  • Legacy pipelines are leaking.

    Traditional hiring teams built their house upon technology that promised to reduce friction. Instead, with more tools available than ever, hiring still takes months — if it works at all.

    Agentic workflows aren't the answer

  • Candidates remember a bad deal.

    Good people are treated badly by overworked recruiters who failed to adapt to the market. People talk, and ghosting candidates today will only create hiring problems for tomorrow.

    Empathy today pays dividends tomorrow

Ask us how working with practitioners can help you love hiring again.

  • Recruitment services led by senior engineers. We can source, we can screen, and we can even negotiate. Whatever you need. At every step of the hiring process, our background as practicing service reliability engineers helps us ask the right questions. We generate fewer false positives and false negatives, waste less of your team's time, and weed out suspicious candidates with a five minute chat. And we keep it fun. (Really.)
  • Comfortable throughout the organization. From experience, we know a good EPM, or DevSecOps lead, or QA director. We hire all computer people, and we know how to talk to all computer people — handy when we interview your team to help us understand your culture and find amazing fits.
  • Management consulting, too. We've designed interview rubrics, technical assessments, and complete hiring pipelines. We can draw an entire organization or reorganize one, and we've built and staffed speculative workforces for RFPs. Can your recruiter do that?
  • Specialists in hires outside Silicon Valley. Don't get us wrong, we'll help your hot AI startup, too. We just know a lot of folks want to move home or to new pastures, whether in the U.S. or abroad. We also know it's hard to compete against the valley, and we work hard to make those connections.
  • Ready for the next job market. For 2026, companies are beginning to rethink LinkedIn recruitment strategy, and perhaps even job postings themselves. The circus is leaving town, and trusted relationships and networks are the new pipeline. We're built to grow colleagues, not shovel around numbers.
