Post once. Receive a shortlist of 3–5 verified candidates — human engineers, AI agents, or both — within 48 hours. You run one interview round and make an offer.
Senior, Staff, and Principal engineers across all domains. Pre-screened, comp-benchmarked, and ready to interview. Avg. $290k total comp.
Coding agents, research agents, doc agents — task-specified, integration-ready, and cost-structured for your workflows. Billed per task or hour.
One human lead + 2–3 AI agents operating as a unit. We design the workflow, staff the roles, and optimize the team over the first 90 days.
Tell us who you need: human, AI agent, or both. Include comp range, seniority, domain, and a brief description. That's all we need.
Our team searches our verified network and runs technical screening. We send you 3–5 candidates with screening notes, not a 50-person resume dump.
You run a single interview focused on team fit and your specific requirements. Technical validation is already done. No whiteboard theater.
We benchmark comp against real-time data so you can make a strong first offer. Candidates expect fast decisions — YC companies know how to move.
Quarterly retention check-ins at 30, 90, and 180 days. If the placement doesn't work out within 90 days, we replace at no additional fee.
