How it works

A sprint that keeps momentum

Every phase compresses time-to-signal. Your team stays focused on meaningful interviews, not pipeline admin.

Step 1

Profile

Clarify your story, priorities, and success signals. We mirror your tone so candidates see the real pitch.

Step 2

Sourcing

Map AI and data talent pools across operators, builders, and emerging leaders. Introduce discreetly where intent is high.

Step 3

Signals

Co-create scorecards, async work samples, and intent screens to filter noise and surface clarity.

Step 4

Shortlist

Deliver calibrated candidates with market intel, readiness notes, and recommendations for next steps.

Step 5

Offer

Guide compensation, references, and onboarding. 90-day replacement included for every sprint.
