We Know What It’s Like to Build With Limited Resources
That’s why we strip away the noise and give you exactly what you need to hire right:
🚀 No resumes. No wasted time.
Resumes don’t tell you who can actually do the job, we help you find who can.
🎯 Custom pre-interviews
Designed around the skills and values that matter to you.
🤝 An unfair hiring advantage
Because early-stage founders can’t afford bad hires.
💡 Hiring should be a growth engine, not a bottleneck.
