WHO WE ARE

We do not run volume search. The strongest robotics engineers are usually not looking. We find them through deep, connected networks, understand their work, and approach them with roles worth their attention.

We know what it costs to hire in this market. As a startup or scale-up, cash is tight and timelines matter. Our retainer is paid monthly across 6 months because invention should not wait for a recruitment fee.

We are a small team by design. No layers, no account managers, no handoffs. The people who map the market are the same people who speak to candidates and brief hiring managers. That is how we keep quality high and timelines short.

Every search is focused. Every shortlist is tight. Every candidate we present is worth the hiring manager's time.

CONCEPT TO COMPLETION

Three steps. No padding. From first brief to candidate start.

01

Understand

BRIEF, MARKET CONTEXT, TECHNICAL SCOPE

We sit with the engineering lead, not just the hiring manager. We need the architecture, the unsolved problems, and the bar.

02

Network

MAP THE PEOPLE, NOT THE POSTINGS

We map the network around the work. Who is adjacent, who is quietly dissatisfied, who is between projects. We approach as peers, not pitches.

03

Place

BRIEF, CLOSE, STAY CLOSE

Tight shortlist, real briefings, and we stay involved through offer, counter, and the first 90 days. The hardest part is not finding them. It is keeping them.

WHAT WE OFFER

One retainer model. Published.

Built for startups and scaleups. We publish our fee because hiring managers deserve to know what a search costs before the first conversation.
