Work with people who make you better

We only reach out when we've verified the team is exceptional. Traditional recruiters send 500 messages hoping for 1 response. We send 1 message about 1 team we know is worth your time.

Here's the difference: We evaluate teams before we ever contact you. If more than 20% of the team is mediocre, we won't waste your time. We use a proprietary talent density assessment that measures actual team performance, not job descriptions. In 2024, we rejected 67% of companies that wanted to hire through us because their teams didn't meet our standards. When we do reach out, it's because we found a team of people who will make you better, not just a role that matches keywords on your resume.

No. Companies pay us a flat $5,000 fee when they hire you. You pay nothing, ever.

We charge companies, not candidates, and we use a flat fee model instead of percentage-based commissions. This means we're not incentivized to push you toward roles that aren't right for you. This flat fee ensures our incentives align with finding the right fit, not the fast fit. This model also means companies are serious... they're paying for quality, not throwing money at their hiring problem.

Perfect. The best time to explore opportunities is when you don't need them.

70% of our successful placements weren't actively looking when we contacted them. They were doing great work at good companies. But good isn't great. When you're not desperate, you can be selective. You can wait for a team that's genuinely better than what you have. Join our network, tell us what "better" means for you, and we'll only reach out when we find it. The average time between joining our network and finding the right opportunity is 6-8 months. We're patient because exceptional teams are rare.

It's 2-4 hours of work similar to what you'd actually do in the role. No trick questions, no free consulting.

Work simulations are how we prove fit... both ways. You do real work (not puzzles or theoretical cases) that shows how you think and solve problems. The company sees your actual ability, not your interview performance. You see their actual challenges, not their marketing pitch. Simulations take 2-4 hours maximum, and you get feedback regardless of outcome. We've found simulations reduce bad hires by 67% and help candidates self-select out of poor-fit roles before wasting everyone's time.

Talent density is the percentage of truly exceptional people on a team. High density means everyone around you is excellent. Low density means you're carrying dead weight.

Example: A 5-person team where everyone is exceptional has 100% talent density. A 50-person team with 5 great people has 10% talent density. We only work with teams above 80% density. This matters because high-density teams ship faster, waste less time in meetings, and make better decisions. Our data shows people in high-density teams are 2.7x more productive and stay 18 months on average versus 11 months in low-density teams. When everyone around you is excellent, you get better. When they're not, you get frustrated and leave.

No. We're more discreet than you updating your LinkedIn to 'Open to Work.'

We never share your information without explicit permission. We don't post about placements without approval. We don't add you to any public database. When we reach out to verify your interest in a specific opportunity, it's always private and professional. Many of our placements explore opportunities for months before making a move. Your current employer only finds out when you tell them... usually with an offer in hand and a resignation letter ready.

Companies get a 120-day guarantee. You get our continued support.

If a placement doesn't work out within 120 days, we find the company a replacement at no charge. But more importantly for you, we help you figure out what went wrong and find something better. Our 95% success rate after 18 months means this rarely happens, but when it does, we don't disappear. We've helped place several candidates twice when the first opportunity wasn't the right fit. The goal isn't just placement... it's finding where you'll thrive long-term.

We work with companies from Series A startups to Fortune 500s, but only those with verified high-density teams.

We don't specialize by industry or role... we specialize in excellence. The common thread isn't the company size or industry, it's the team quality. Every role we work on has been verified to have at least 80% talent density. We're currently active in tech, finance, healthcare, and manufacturing, but we'll work with any company that meets our team quality standards. Salary ranges from $75k to $500k+, but again, it's about the team, not the money.
