Build hiring right, from day one.

I build your hiring function from zero, so every future hire is faster, fairer and easier to repeat.

Common questions

How long does it take to fill a role?

It depends on the role, the seniority, the market and your engagement in the selection process. We'll agree on a realistic timeline together on our first call, before the search starts.

For a Unicorn Hunt, up to 3 months, depending on how rare the profile is.

How does payment work?

Hiring Agent and Talent Pro: a monthly fee, for as long as it makes sense for you. No long-term commitment.

Unicorn Hunt: a percentage of the hire's first-year base salary. A smaller part is paid upfront when the search starts. The rest is invoiced on the day the candidate accepts the offer and is due within 10 business days of their first working day.

Zero to TA team: a one-time payment for the 4-week foundation. Hiring your first TA team member is an optional one-time add-on, and open roles follow the Hiring Agent model.

What if we want to hire more than one of the candidates you introduced?

Great news, and it happens. On Hiring Agent and Talent Pro, extra hires for the roles we agreed on are covered by your monthly plan. An additional hire for a role outside that scope, or any additional hire on a Unicorn Hunt, is billed as a separate placement fee (% of first-year base).

What if the hire doesn't work out?

Unicorn Hunt comes with a 60-day replacement guarantee. If the new hire leaves or is let go for performance within 60 days, I run the search again at no extra cost. On Hiring Agent and Talent Pro, a new search is simply part of your monthly plan.

Can I start with just one role?

Yes. Most clients start with one role and no long-term commitment, then scale up if it works.

Hired a unicorn for a strategic partnership

Hired a Principal Data Scientist for a strategic partnership with one of the world's largest tech companies. It was the most challenging role I've filled: very senior, with GenAI experience, excellent coding skills, a broad tech stack, and on-site 5 days a week at the client's office in Austin, Texas. In a company that valued quality over volume, I expanded hiring from Europe to the US and LATAM.
