The Hiring Headaches We Fix
Hiring at a startup isn’t just about filling roles — it’s about building the right team to move fast and scale smart. These are the problems we hear most often from founders, and how we solve them.
Too Many Unqualified Candidates
"We keep getting resumes that miss the mark."
Our Solution:
We don’t just keyword-match or rely on job boards. We actively source and vet every candidate for both technical ability and cultural alignment. By the time someone lands in your inbox, they've been screened through a startup-focused lens — meaning they can actually thrive in your environment. You get a curated shortlist, not a stack of resumes to sift through.
Slow, Frustrating Hiring Process
"It takes weeks just to get interviews going."
Our Solution:
We know time kills deals — and momentum. That’s why we run an agile hiring process with tight feedback loops and fast turnarounds. From sourcing to scheduling interviews, we manage the logistics so you don’t get bogged down in back-and-forths. Most clients see qualified candidates within the first 5–7 days.
Lack of Startup-Focused Talent
"Corporate recruiters don’t get what we need."
Our Solution:
We live and breathe startup hiring. We understand the difference between someone who thrives in ambiguity and ownership vs. someone who’s used to structure and hierarchy. We focus on candidates who are builders — entrepreneurial, resourceful, and ready to roll up their sleeves.
Wasted Time on the Wrong People
"We’re spending too much time interviewing the wrong fits."
Our Solution:
We invest time upfront to truly understand your company, mission, and team dynamics. Every candidate we present has been assessed for alignment on values, working style, and long-term potential — not just job title. That means less wasted time on interviews and more high-leverage conversations with people who actually fit.
Struggling to Close Offers
"Even when we find someone great, we can’t close them."
Our Solution:
We help you position your opportunity to stand out in a competitive market. From initial pitch through to final offer, we stay close to the candidate — handling objections, reinforcing interest, and guiding you with data-backed advice. The result? Smoother closes and stronger commitments.

CASE STUDY:
Helping Docker Scale Its Engineering Team Fast
The Challenge
Docker, a leader in containerization and cloud-native technologies, was facing rapid growth and needed to expand its engineering team to support new product development and infrastructure scaling. However, they were struggling to attract senior engineers with deep experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems—especially under tight deadlines.
The Goal
Hire 5+ senior-level engineers within 60 days to support mission-critical initiatives.
Our Approach
-
Strategic Role Discovery
We partnered directly with Docker’s hiring managers and engineering leaders to deeply understand technical needs, culture fit, and long-term team goals.
-
Sourcing Top-Tier Talent
Using our proprietary sourcing methods and deep network in the startup and DevOps space, we identified high-caliber passive candidates with containerization, Kubernetes, and microservices experience.
-
Streamlined Process Optimization
We helped Docker refine its interview process, reducing time-to-decision while maintaining technical rigor—improving candidate experience and offer acceptance rates.
Results
-
7 engineers hired in 45 days, all with specialized cloud-native experience.
-
35% reduction in time-to-hire compared to internal benchmarks.
-
100% offer acceptance rate, thanks to tight alignment between Docker's team and our candidate prep.
-
Long-term hires: 5 of the engineers are still with Docker today, playing key roles in product expansion.
