For Employers
First hires, senior ICs, and the leadership layer.
These are high-stakes hires. Getting one wrong is expensive. That’s why I only take a few at a time and focus properly on each.
- Founding engineers and first technical hires
- Senior and staff ICs
- Engineering leadership, handled discreetly
- Aftercare for months after they start
For Candidates
I won’t waste your time.
I’m not going to send you a job that doesn’t fit just to fill a slot. I take time to understand what you actually want, tell you the truth about each role, and stay in touch long after you’ve started. If I reach out, it’s because I think it’s worth your while.
- Senior roles at companies building real products
- Honest answers on comp, team and runway
- Prep and feedback through every stage
- A relationship that outlasts the placement
What I focus on
The hard-to-fill-roles.
Founding & early engineers
The foundations. The first hires who define how everything gets built.
AI & ML engineers
There’s a lot of noise right now.
Senior & Staff IC’s
Leverage without a title.
Engineering leadership
Tech lead to CTO. The people others are hired around.

Track record
Don’t take my word for it.
Every one of these is from a client or candidate I’ve worked with.
Real names, because they were happy to attach them.
I had a very pleasant experience working with Sam.
From our initial call, Sam was really interested in getting to know me first, understanding my needs and situation and finding the best possible match. Also, Sam was constantly keeping me up to date, and I always felt I was a top priority.
Especially in the current market, Sam was a very pleasant surprise. Sam did everything in his power to find me the best match and also find me the best possible deal. I cannot recommend Sam enough, and I would love to work with him in the future!
Michael – Java engineer
Sam changed my perception of external recruiters, for the better! From our first conversation, he showed genuine interest in who I am and worked hard to ensure that the role and company were a good fit for both my needs and theirs. Sam always kept me updated and proactively provided me with feedback and context to set me up for success during the interview process. The job search can be tough, and having someone like Sam there for support and guidance made all the difference.
