The problem

Most recruiting firms send résumés and hope something sticks.

You get a flood of unqualified candidates, generic outreach, and recruiters who don't understand your stack, your stage, or your culture. You end up doing their job for them — screening, filtering, rejecting. That's not recruiting. That's noise.

How we're different

We send signal, not volume.

Every candidate we send has been sourced from our network, deeply vetted, and matched to your specific needs — your stage, your culture, your bar.

We're a headhunting firm built exclusively for tech startups. Our AI-powered tools make us fast. Human judgment makes us right. You get a dedicated recruiter who actually understands what a Series B infrastructure hire looks like versus a founding AE at a pre-product startup.

And you only pay when you hire. No retainers, no upfront costs — just aligned incentives and a 90-day guarantee that we got it right.

How it works

From kickoff to offer in weeks, not months.

01
Tell us what you need
We learn your company, your culture, and the role inside out. Not a form — a real conversation with your dedicated recruiter.
02
We go hunting
Active outreach to passive candidates across our network. No job board spam. We target people who aren't looking but should be.
03
You meet vetted finalists
Every candidate has been screened for skills, motivation, and culture fit. We don't send volume — we send signal.
04
We help you close
Offer negotiation support, comp benchmarking, and candidate prep. We know what makes candidates say yes.
05
90-day guarantee
If the hire doesn't work out within 90 days, we replace them at no cost. We've only used this 2% of the time.
What clients say

Don't take our word for it.

DevRize filled our first 3 engineering roles in under a month. They understood our culture from day one and only sent candidates worth talking to.
Shaw
CEO, a16z backed Seed Startup
We needed a Head of Sales who could build from zero. DevRize found someone who's now our top performer. The search took 3 weeks.
Chris
Co-Founder, Series A Startup
Most recruiters don't get startups. DevRize does. They know the difference between a big-company PM and someone who can ship at our pace.
James
VP Product, Series B Startup
