THE HIRING ENGINE
A structured recruiting pipeline
not a resume lottery
Our platform scores, routes, and validates candidates before they ever reach your desk. Recruiters intervene only where human judgment matters.
Signal-based screening (AI)
Our models score every profile against your success profile using skills, tenure, trajectory, and inferred signals that go beyond keywords.
Human validation (recruiter)
Senior recruiters review every shortlisted profile, pressure-test compensation, and clarify gaps before you ever see a resume.
Client alignment (role + culture)
We calibrate live with your team, adjusting scorecards and messaging so every subsequent candidate is closer to the mark.
Intake → AI Screen → Recruiter Review → Shortlist → Hire

FAQ
Common questions before you start
If you don’t see your question here, we’ll cover it on your strategy call.
What roles do you fill?
We focus on design, product-adjacent, and desirable roles where signal, taste, and communication matter: product design, research, brand, creative leadership, and specialized cross-functional hires that touch experience and narrative.
How fast can we see candidates?
For most searches, you’ll see an initial calibrated shortlist within 7–14 days of kickoff, assuming timely intake and alignment. From there, we maintain a weekly cadence of new candidates and updates.
Do you replace candidates if it doesn’t work out?
Yes. We stand behind our work with a replacement window defined in your agreement. If a hire doesn’t work out within that window, we re-open the search and prioritize the replacement.
How do you evaluate culture fit?
We build a success profile that includes values, collaboration norms, communication style, and expectations around pace and autonomy. Our scorecards and interviews probe for these signals—not just technical skills.
What does onboarding look like?
We support you through offer, acceptance, and pre-start. Once your hire begins, we provide a simple onboarding checklist and stay available during the first 30–90 days for feedback and calibration.
Do you work nationwide?
Yes. We support fully remote, hybrid, and in-office roles across the U.S., with deep talent networks in major tech hubs and emerging markets.
