Able

Fresh out of stealth, founder and CEO Diego Represas needed to make some key hires, establish recruiting fundamentals, and build out their talent operations capabilities to support the growth ahead. Within three months, we helped Able double in size (from six to twelve employees), cement their recruiting goals and processes, and hire their first recruiter—propelling them into the market.

Athelas

After securing their Series B, this rapidly-growing medtech startup needed to scale up their recruiting activities across their sales and technical teams. We helped build their recruiting process and systems from the ground up, enabling them to hire thirty-five people in six months.

Commure

Following their Series C and an acquisition that doubled the size of their company, Commure was looking for support across strategic executive hiring, internal team growth, and change management in order to improve organizational stability. We partnered with their executive team to align their ambitious goals against operational headcount plans, and manage the senior recruiting team to help hire key engineers, adopt uniform recruiting processes, and integrate the right tools to fire up their talent engine.

Studio

After hitting unicorn status following their Series B last year, Studio needed support to meet the demands of their anticipated growth—building out a recruiting organization, headcount planning, training, and operations. Within five months we helped them create hiring best practices and trainings, while adding thirty-nine employees to their team—with a special focus on critical, time-sensitive roles.

Our talent operators.

We’ve helped impressive startups define their cultures, recruit and retain great people, and build systems to scale and evolve.
