The recruiting department
you turn on when you need it.
You raised the round. Now every promise you made your board depends on people you haven't hired yet. We fill those seats - go-to-market, product, the executive layer - for a flat monthly price, no placement fees, and a 15-month guarantee on every hire.

The contingency modelpays for a start date.
A recruiter on 25% gets paid when your hire signs. Whether that person is still there in a year never touches the invoice. The meter resets on every role, and the industry calls it success. It's churn with extra steps.
FoundHuman charges a flat monthly slot. Our invoice doesn't change when your hire signs, so there's no reason to rush you into the wrong person. The only thing that grows this firm is hires that stay and clients who come back.

How the workgets done.
You will never be handed off to an account manager.
One senior recruiter runs your search. Behind them, technology that lets one recruiter do the work of ten - sourcing wider, scoring faster, and surfacing people who never show up on LinkedIn. And you watch the whole thing live: every candidate, every score, every decision. Not a weekly status email. The search, happening.
A slot is a senior recruiter who is always working your role. At a contingency firm your req waits its turn on somebody's desk. One client ran about a hundred hires through us in a single year.
Every searchcarries a report card.
While your recruiter works the phones, AI works the parts humans are bad at: finding candidates who don't surface anywhere obvious, scoring every one of them blind so ability beats pedigree, turning your intake call into a playbook your whole team can run, and flagging what's slowing a search down before it costs you the candidate you wanted.
Then it grades us. Every search, every stage, every handoff - analyzed at a scale no human team could match. Blind spots get named. The process gets sharper. By the third role we know your hiring bar better than most companies know it themselves. That's the point of the technology: not to replace the recruiter, to make every hire smarter than the last one.

Twenty years running searches taught Gregg Armitage one thing: the fee model, not the recruiters, is what's broken. FoundHuman is his rebuild, and he is on the hook for every search it runs.

What reaches you was approved by a human, every time. Your resume is scored before anyone sees your name or your photo. Verified addresses only, and hard caps. Ask to be left alone once, and it sticks. If the answer is no, you hear it.
