Engineers who evaluate engineers. We help you hire the right ones and keep them.
Technical recruiting, onboarding, and retention - built for AI startups by people who understand both the engineering and the humans.
Let's talk hiringHiring is broken for AI startups - and it's breaking the people inside them.
The pace, the pressure, and the culture are taking a measurable toll. 74% of U.S. tech professionals plan to change employers this year (Dice, 2026). And UC Berkeley researchers found AI tools aren’t lightening engineers’ load. They’re intensifying it (Harvard Business Review, 2026).
We don't just fill seats. We protect the human core of your company.
Recruit.
Onboard.
Retain.
Technical recruiting
Technical founders who truly evaluate the people they place - not keyword matching.
Onboarding support
New people set up to contribute from day one - not left waiting weeks for access and direction.
Retention
Culture assessment, guidance on raises, benefits, and support, and research-backed insight to keep the team you built.
The engineering and the humans.
We pair engineers who’ve shipped at scale with researchers and counselors who understand what makes those engineers stay.
We've built real systems at real companies, which means we assess engineers as peers, not as resume-readers.
We study what makes technical teams burn out and what makes them stay, at PhD level, so our advice rests on evidence, not instinct.
Counseling-trained professionals who can tell when a team is struggling, often before the team knows it.
Finally, hiring that actually works.
Tell us what you're building and who you need. We'll shape our services around your team.
Every conversation starts with our founders. You'll talk directly with the people doing the work.
