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 the true pleasure working with Sam, and I can confidently say he’s one of the best recruiters I’ve ever met.
Not only did he help me land a great opportunity, but he also went above and beyond to adapt to my (admittedly tricky) schedule 😉 …and making the whole process smooth and stress-free.
Sam is professional, kind, and genuinely cares about the people he works with. He’s not just about filling roles; he makes sure the job is the right fit for you.
I’m incredibly grateful for his support, and if I ever need to make a career move again, he’ll be the first person I call!
