1. 01Project-based · Your team

   Embedded Recruitment

   A senior recruiter joins your team for a defined engagement — three to nine months — operating as your in-house talent partner.

   How it works

   We embed inside your hiring org, attend your standups, use your tooling, and represent your brand directly to the market. Best when you're scaling a function quickly and need consistent voice, calibrated standards, and full ownership of pipeline — without the cost or commitment of building an in-house team from scratch.

   What's included

   • Dedicated recruiter inside your stack and rituals
   • Pipeline ownership across multiple roles in one function
   • Weekly market intel, comp data, and funnel reporting
   • Knowledge transfer to your in-house team at handover

   Best for

   Series B–D companies and enterprise units scaling 10–40 hires in one function over 6–9 months.

2. 02Contingent or container · Senior IC & manager

   Professional Search

   Targeted search for senior individual contributors and front-line managers — the technical backbone that determines whether a roadmap ships.

   How it works

   Principal engineers, staff researchers, ML platform leads, applied scientists, and the engineering and product managers who translate strategy into shipped product. We work a defined shortlist with the same rigor as our retained mandates, on a faster cadence and a flexible commercial model.

   What's included

   • Curated shortlist within 2–3 weeks
   • Calibrated comp benchmarks for each role
   • Direct outreach to passive talent — never a job-board pull
   • Reference and motivation diligence on every finalist

   Best for

   Critical senior IC and manager hires where a generic agency or LinkedIn pull won't surface the right people.

3. 03Retained · C-suite & VP

   Executive Search

   Retained search for the leadership hires that define the next chapter — CTOs, Chief AI Officers, VPs, and Heads of Research.

   How it works

   Conviction-led, off-market, and confidential by default. We map the 80–120 humans on earth who could do the role, narrow to the eight you should meet, and stay engaged through reference, offer architecture, and onboarding to month three. The standard for hires the market hasn't named yet.

   What's included

   • Full market map and rationale before any outreach
   • Eight-person calibrated shortlist within six weeks
   • Board-ready written assessments on every finalist
   • Compensation design and onboarding partnership

   Best for

   C-suite, VP, and board-level mandates at Fortune 500s, scale-ups, and frontier labs.
