$999 one-time · one role · no commitment after
Test us on one role for $999.
One role, run end to end. Intake, sourcing, and scoring, then a ranked shortlist sent straight to you. No placement fees, no dashboard to log into, no commitment once the shortlist lands.
Built for: teams at pre-seed to Series B companies who want proof on a real role, in engineering, product, or platform, before they commit to a monthly plan.
Process
What happens during the pilot.
Three steps, one role, one fixed price. It's the same process behind every hire we run, scoped down to a single role so you can see it work before you commit to anything ongoing.
- 1Day 1
Intake
Tell us the role and what good actually looks like for your team. We turn that into a brief covering the stack, the team dynamics, and the difference between a must-have and a nice-to-have.
- 2Week 1
Sourcing and scoring
We source candidates and score them against your brief. Every one is reviewed by our team of former tech leaders and hiring managers, on technical skill, culture fit, and what your hiring manager actually needs. Nobody reaches you on a keyword match.
- 3Week 2
Shortlist to hire
Three to five ranked candidates, sent straight to you with notes on why each one made the list. You interview, you hire, you are done. No dashboard, no login, no pipeline to manage yourself.
The offer
What's in the $999 pilot.
One role, fully worked. Nothing held back for the subscription tiers, and nothing quietly added on top of the $999.
What you get
- One role, sourced and screened end to end by our team
- Every candidate reviewed by former tech leaders and hiring managers, not a resume filter
- A ranked shortlist of three to five candidates
- Notes on why each candidate made the list, tied back to your brief
- Candidates and evaluation notes sent straight to you, nothing to log into
- No placement fee if you hire, now or later
What's not included
- More than one role worked at the same time, that is what the subscription plans are for
- Interview scheduling or offer negotiation on your behalf
- Background checks or reference checks
- GTM, sales, or other non-technical roles, we stay focused on engineering, product, and platform
- Ongoing sourcing after the shortlist lands, that starts with a subscription
Next step
What happens after the shortlist lands.
The pilot doesn't auto-renew into anything. You decide what happens next, on your own timeline.
Keep going with a plan
Most teams that run a pilot move straight into Starter, Scale, or Growth to keep the same brief and momentum going across more roles, still at one flat monthly fee.
See pricing plansWalk away, no hard feelings
If the shortlist isn't a fit, you're done. No placement fee, no auto-renewal, and no call to make to cancel anything, because there's nothing running to cancel.
Either way, there's no percentage-based fee waiting for you once you make a hire. That's true of the pilot and every plan after it.
Questions
Before you book the call.
The most common questions we get about the pilot. Still unsure about something? Ask us on the call, there's no wrong question.
Is $999 really the full price?
Yes. One flat fee for one role, billed once. No setup fee, no percentage if you hire, and no invoice that shows up after the fact.
Who actually reviews the candidates?
Our team of former tech leaders and hiring managers. We look at technical skill, culture fit, and what your hiring manager actually needs, not just keyword matches on a resume.
What roles qualify for the pilot?
Any single role in engineering, product, or platform. We stay tech-only, so the pilot does not cover sales, marketing, or other go-to-market roles.
How do I get my shortlist? Is there a dashboard?
No dashboard, no login. Candidates and our evaluation notes come straight to you, by whatever channel works best for your team.
What if none of the candidates are a fit?
Then the pilot ends there. You keep the notes on every candidate we sent and you owe us nothing else.
Do I have to sign up for a subscription afterward?
No. The pilot has no auto-renewal. If it was a fit, the natural next step is Starter, Scale, or Growth. If it was not, you walk away.
How do I actually start?
Fill out the intake form. We confirm the role and scope from what you share, send an invoice for $999, and start sourcing right away.
