Roles we recruit in San Francisco
Knowing the San Francisco market
AI talent is the scarcest of all
Leaders who have shipped AI products at scale are few, and heavily pursued. Clear scope and a strong story are essential.
Equity drives decisions
Stock and upside often matter more than base salary. Offers must be built around that.
Speed wins
Top candidates can move from first call to offer in weeks. Slow processes lose them.
Remote changes the map
Many Bay Area roles hire across the US. We search wherever the right person lives if the role allows it.
How we run a search
- BriefWe agree what success looks like in the first 12 months, not just the job title.
- MapWe map who does this job well today in the Bay Area and across the US, and what would make them move.
- ApproachDirect, discreet conversations. No mass messages, no CV databases.
- ShortlistA short list of tested candidates, with our honest view on each one.
