Find your trail. Three ways we help you hire, and the one that fits your team.
Marketing and Infrastructure are separate climbs, and they feed each other. Full service is both. Answer three questions and the map points the way, or pick a door.
Question 1 of 3
Where does hiring break down for you?

An agency hands you a hire. We build how you hire.
Most teams compare us with recruiting agencies. An agency finds people and passes them over the fence, and nothing stays when it leaves. We build the story, the process and the reach, so the people who apply already want in.

|---|---|---|---|
| How you pay | 15 to 30 percent of each salary (sample) | About $300,000 a year in payroll (sample) | A flat $7,500 per role |
| After the hiring ends | Nothing, and nothing stays | The payroll stays | Nothing. The work stays |
| Who tells your story | No one | Whoever has time | We build it with you, first |
| Where candidates come from | The agency's network | Job boards and referrals | Your story taken to market: Hub, landing pages, A/B tested postings, sourcing |

How it works
We build the story first, then we take it to market so the people who belong can actually find you.
- Trailhead
We learn your story.
Every posting starts with your story. We learn how the work actually happens and who stays and why, so the right people recognize themselves in it from day one.
- The Climb
We take it to market.
The landing page, the posting, the outreach, the Trailblazers Hub, the LinkedIn presence, all built from the story and put in front of the people who belong before they're looking. Every sourced candidate gets the story, even the ones who never apply.
- Pivot Meeting
Every two weeks, we calibrate.
A set thirty minutes with you, on top of talking whenever you need us. Trends showing up in the candidate pool, what the last interviews had in common, whether the profile still holds, and your feedback to help us get better. Then we adjust before the next round goes out.
- The Hire
The offer is signed.
Pick between your top candidates who are right, not twelve who might be. And a flat fee that didn't move when the offer did.
In their words.
Growing tech, deep tech and advanced manufacturing teams, and the people who hired with us.
We realized it wasn't just a matter of making phone calls and finding people, it was truly about using our brand and building that brand to attract the people today and also tomorrow as we grow
