A hiring plan you’re still “thinking about” is a hire you’re losing.

Send us the role today. You’ll hear back within one business day with a scoping-call time and a straight answer on fee and timeline. Momentum starts with one message.

Kick things off

Three lines about the role is enough to start.

Title, stage, and the milestone you’re hiring toward. We’ll handle the rest on the call and reply by the end of the next business day.

Bring this to your scoping call

  1. Your org chart, even if it’s a napkin sketch.
  2. Runway in months, and the milestone you must hit before the next raise.
  3. Your thinking on the comp band and how much of the option pool is left.
  4. The three people you’d poach tomorrow if you could.

Don’t have all four? Come anyway. Finding the gaps is what the first twenty minutes are for.

Billed by invoice at three milestones. Nothing is charged through this form.

The desk

Our door is in Nevada City. Our calendar is built around your lab hours.

Most scoping calls happen by phone or video, but if you’re passing through the Sierra foothills, tell us and we’ll put the kettle on.

Before you hit send

What happens after you reach out.

Short answers here, specifics on the call.

How fast will you reply?

Within one business day. We work Monday through Saturday from 9:30am to 4pm and Sundays from 10am to 4pm, so a Saturday note doesn’t wait until Monday.

What does the scoping call cover?

The role, your runway, the comp band, and which package fits. You leave knowing the fixed fee, the three invoice dates, and when to expect a first shortlist.

Do I need a finished job description?

No. A rough paragraph or a list of what the last person in the seat would have owned is plenty. Turning that into a scorecard is our first job.

Is there a cost to talk?

The scoping call is free. Fees only begin when you choose a package, and the first of three invoices goes out at kickoff.

Your next hire isn’t going to find itself. Send the job description and we’ll start the scorecard.
